Kick-Off Wrap-Up

Thanks to all who joined us, this past Saturday, at the Brighton Beer Garden! We had a crowd of over 40 people meeting one another and cheering on the Tigers as they start the 2011 season at 1-0.  Shawn Cooper, of SolutionsByShawn.com and friend of Mizzou, captured our event on film.  Below is a link to some photos displaying many of the smiles and laughter shared throughout the afternoon.

Due to the horribly late timing of our Mizzou @ ASU game, two of our favorite Tigers have kindly offered up their home to host the watch party, September 9 at 10:30 p.m. in Durham, NH.  Please RSVP to thebostonzou@gmail.com if you wish to join us. We will confirm with the address and directions.

Because the Mizzou vs. Western Illinois game will be on Pay Per View, only, our next official watch party will be Mizzou @ Oklahoma on Saturday, September 24.  The pre-game social will begin at 7:30pm, and kick-off is at 8:00 pm, ET.  We'll gather at our Boston home: The Brighton Beer Garden.

Mizzou Day of Service, 10/1
Be on the look-out for details regarding our upcoming day of service! Mark your calendars for October 1, the Tigers' off-week.

Don't forget to check us out on Facebook at The Boston 'Zou.  And, you can join our LinkedIn Group: Greater Boston Mizzou Alumni.

The Boston 'Zou Season Kick-Off! 9/3

It's that time of year, again! And, Mizzou Football is in full swing as our beloved Tigers play host to the Miami (OH) Red Hawks on Saturday, September 3. The Boston 'Zou will gather at the Brighton Beer Garden to cheer on the Tigers and kick off this 2011 season with bang. We'll have prizes, as well as the 50/50 raffle. Additionally, we have negotiated 50% off of all appetizers for our events at the BBG (except crab cakes).


As ...we remain committed to Mizzou's spirit of service to our community, we will continue to collect non-perishable food items to benefit local agencies. In fact, thanks to your generous donations, last year we raised over 100 lbs of food! We're taking it on as a chapter challenge to beat that, this year.

Also, thanks to your generosity, our Tornado Relief Effort fundraiser raised nearly $1600--benefitting the Heart of Missouri United Way and the United Way of Pioneer Valley.

Rescheduled: Boston 'Zou Tornado Relief Effort, now 6/21

Spread the word! This event has been rescheduled. Due to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, our venue is unable to accommodate our event, tomorrow. Because of this, we will be hosting it on Tuesday, June 21.

On June 21, 2011, The Greater-Boston Chapter of the Mizzou Alumni Association (The Boston ‘Zou) will host a fundraiser and silent auction to benefit victims of the recent tornadoes in the Joplin, MO, and Springfield, MA areas. Mizzou Alumni Association members, and all interested parties, will gather at Brighton Beer Garden (386 Market St., Brighton) from 6-9PM.

“It’s heartbreaking to see people from your home state going through such a tragedy and not have the ability to help in-person,” said David Sprague, the chapter’s president. “Hopefully our efforts will help, in some small way, the recovery efforts.”

The Brighton Beer Garden and a number of Boston-area businesses have donated gift certificates and services to be auctioned off. All proceeds will go directly to the United Way campaigns responding to both Joplin (Heart of Missouri) and Springfield (Pioneer Valley).

Silent Auction items include :

High-end Jewelry courtesy of Bellestar Jewelry in Hanover
Autographed Gary Pinkel Football
Red Sox Tickets
PawSox Tickets
Brockton Rox Tickets
Boston Blazers Tickets
Boston Cannons Tickets
We'll also have raffles for some great Mizzou memorabelia and gift cards to local vendors!

M--I--Z! Beat..K..U!

Hey everyone!

Thanks to those who joined us in Portsmouth, NH, last weekend for a fun event (despite the loss to KSU). We had about 20 folks in attendance for the trip. And, a number of us enjoyed a tour and some beer-tasting at the Red Hook Brewery, afterward. Nothing like drowning your sorrows in a glass of good craft beer, made on the premesis.

But, onward we look as the Tigers play host to archrival, Kansas, this Saturday! For those who ordered the 2011 Beat KU t-shirts at our Founders' Day celebration, we should have those available for you at the watch party.  Details below.
