Greetings to the Yale family in Germany!

First: The weekend of October 4th-6th we are hosting an informal gathering of the Yale Clubs of Europe officers in Munich, and we were able to get 20 tickets for an evening at Oktoberfest on October 5th. We have FIVE (5) extra tickets to offer to the greater Yale Club of Germany community - they will go on a first-come-first-served basis, so please contact me directly (president@yaleclub.de) asap if you are interested in joining the fun! See below for details.

Second: As I wrote in our last newsletter, the Yale Club of Germany was able once again to sponsor a post-graduate stipend through the Bavarian American Academy for a very deserving student to spend time researching at Yale. In order to continue this wonderful tradition, we need to raise €2000 for next year. I wrote: There are almost 700 members in Germany, so if we all donate the price of a coffee-to-go, we're there. If you are interested in supporting this fantastic program, please just put "BAA stipend" in the subject line of your (in Germany tax-deductible!) donation - and thank you!

A huge thank you to Heidelberg alum Herbert A. Jung who writes:  As a postdoctoral fellow at Yale in 65/66 who is still thankful for the opportunity to broaden my experienceswith the help of a Fulbright travel grant I would be happy to subscribe to € 1000 of the € 2000 required for next year! This is what I love about Yalies - the overwhelming number of people I have come in contact with are generous and looking to give back, either with time, talent or treasure. We are half way there! Any amount you can donate will bring us closer to our goal.

Thank you so much in advance, and hope to see you in person at one of our upcoming events.

Boola Boola,

Bartley
