WHERE:  Malt River Brew Company

                Latham Circle Mall at intersection of Route 9, Route 2, Route 7, off exit 6  of I-87 Northway.

                Entrance from inside the mall is across from McDonald's.

                Entrance from outside the mall is next to Penney's.

                Oak Room is to the right of the bar.

                Look for the flag or guidon on the table.

 

WHY:  Camaraderie and Networking

HOW:  Just show up and bring your academy friends.

Name tags.

Business cards.

UNIFORM:  casual or not - whatever works for you.  Surprise us or impress us.

 Second Thursday was picked because it does not usually conflict with holidays.

This could be a positive way for those of you in sales to meet others who could possibly be networking contacts for you.

To the best of my knowledge, in the Albany area,

 there are approximately 150 USMA, 100 USNA, 20 USAFA, 100 USCGA,  (?) USMMA grads.

Your input is welcome, on anything.

RSVP not necessary, but it would be good to have feedback on what you think of this experiment?
