Dear Fellow Alumni,
Welcome to the Brown Club of Rhode Island! As in recent years, all alumni/ae in our area are automatically enrolled as members of the Club – no dues required. Your participation is the most important thing! We hope you’ll join other alumni and guests for the arts and culture, music, dining, academics, sports, community service and family fun that we have in store for you in the coming year.
The Board and I especially want to thank all of you who, last year, opted to become Brown Club of Rhode Island Premium Members. Your contributions provided a very generous $2500 scholarship – the Jean and Francis Madeira Award – to Vinay Parameswaran ’09, a double concentrator in Music and Political Science, who will begin graduate studies in conducting this year at the Curtis Institute of Music. Also a winner of the Weston Fine Arts Awards and the Hope Chatterton Prize for Excellence in Piano Performance, Vinay’s future looks extremely promising! All Premium Members should feel proud that we’ve helped send a very deserving, newly minted alum out into the world of “life after Brown”. We hope that you will renew your participation for the coming year and continue to support the Madeira Award. And, if you didn’t become a Premium Member last year, please do it now!
Benefits of Premium Membership include:
• Discounted admission to all Brown Club of Rhode Island events
• Complimentary admission to the Club’s annual Holiday reception
• Personal notification of all regular Club events
• Early notice of events where attendance is limited
• The heartfelt gratitude of the Club, the Department of Music, and an important future musician!
An annual contribution of just $25 or more per person is all it takes to become a Premium Member of the Club. This contribution in its entirety will support our Jean and Francis Madeira Award. First year Brown alumni automatically receive Premium Membership status with our compliments. All Brown alumni, friends and relatives are eligible to join as premium members. I sincerely hope that you will choose to participate.
On behalf of your Board members and officers, I welcome you to what promises to be another great year of events and fellowship!
Ever true,
David Hammarström ‘89 President, 2009-10
