Founders' Day Wrap-Up

Thanks to all who came out for a fantastic evening at The Boston 'Zou's innaugural Founders' Day Celebration!  Last night, we gathered at our local home, the Brighton Beer Garden, for a pre-game networking session and to watch the Tigers host (and beat) Texas Tech.  Todd McCubbin, Executive Director of the Mizzou Alumni Association, joined us for the fun and lent his support and insight toward our efforts in growing the chapter.  And, we are also excited to share that Mizzou's own Brett Austin, (ESPN coordinating producer) and ESPN SportsCenter anchor/ABC's Wipeout co-host John Anderson also joined in the festivities!  All-around, very cool and down-to-earth guys!  Photos below.  (Aside: ESPN recruits aggressively from the MU School of Journalism and currently employs over 20 Mizzou grads.)

Be sure to check back for updates and details on our road trip to Portsmouth, NH on February 26!

Winter Updates & Founders' Day Celebration 2/15

Tigers:
Thanks to those who joined us, last night, for our first-ever Mizzouaoke session! We had a blast pouring out covers of hits by the likes of Rick Astley, Metallica, Digital Underground and Salt & Pepa! But, on to next week already...

Each February, Mizzou Alumni Association chapters host a Founders' Day celebration. Our beloved Alma Mater was founded in February of 1839 and is still going strong! For The Boston 'Zou's celebration, we will be joined on February 15th by Todd McCubbin, Executive Director of the Alumni Association and Associate Vice Chancellor for Alumni Relations.

As always, we'll convene at Brighton Beer Garden (386 Market St., Brighton). Our event will start downstairs in the function room for a meet-and-greet, with complimentary appetizers on hand. We'll talk a little bit about Mizzou's grand history and offer everyone a chance to share their favorite Mizzou memory. This will be a lot of fun!

Then at 7:00 we'll head upstairs for the Mizzou-Texas Tech game. As always, please bring non-perishable food items to benefit local food banks. Please RSVP!

Our chapter is growing day-by-day, and we're meeting lots of new Tigers at each event. If you've thought about attending an event, this will be a great opportunity to see what we're all about. In the last 18 months, Some fantastic bonds have been created already...you should be a part of it! Check out our website and friend us on Facebook.

**Update for 2/26 Basketball Watch Party**
