PSC hosts a social hour and networking event for USNA Alumni and their guests from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on the last Thursday of every month, generally alternating between Puget Sound East and West.  The first pitchers and appetizers are on PSC, then you're on your own.  There is no RSVP and you should come as you are.

Our Puget Sound East events have been held at the Rock Bottom on Fifth Avenue, Hale's Ales between Fremont and Ballard, Elysian Fields Brewpub on 1st Avenue South, Issaquah BrewHouse in downtown Issaquah, Pyramid Brewery across from Safeco Field, Elliott Bay Brewery & Pub in West Seattle, and Engels Pub in Edmonds.

Our Puget Sound West events have been held at Our Place Pub and Eatery and the Oxford Suites, both located in Silverdale.

Our Puget Sound East Social Hours have been discontinued for the remainder of 2009.

Our next Puget Sound West Social Hour is scheduled for Thursday, November 19.  Please visit our Events page for the details.

If you have questions or suggestions on the Puget Sound East events, email Will Roberts '00 at wkroberts00@hotmail.com.  For Puget Sound West events, email Jason Starks '01 at starksjt@yahoo.com .

The Puget Sound Chapter will be publishing an updated Membership Directory in the next few weeks.

If you have any information to update, particularly your U.S. Mail and email addresses, please send an updated Membership Form or email your updated data to Jack Barfield '61 at capnjack8@comcast.net.

After an 8-year hiatus, The LOG has resumed publication.  This Midshipman's magazine is still a hardcopy publication, but you can get a flavor of the new version by visiting The LOG online.

Interesting aspects of this preview include a new Mission Statement on the Home Page and recent articles from Shipmate on the History web page.

This preview says The LOG needs outside subscriptions to continue operation.  To get your personal copy, visit their Subscriptions web page.

The Subscriptions web page also says The LOG welcomes comments from old grads, but please note that The LOG staff might not have time to respond.

On January 13, 2009, the PSC Trustees approved Revision One to the Chapter By-laws that were originally approved in February 1991.  These revisions were implemented to accomplish the following goals:

1. Establish consistency with the recent revision to the national Alumni Association By-Laws;
2. Bring our Chapter By-Laws “on-line” with the current level of computer and internet communications;
3. Re-establish consistency with Chapter practices which have evolved during the 18-year period since our By-Laws were originally established;
4. Clarify various provisions and correct minor clerical errors in the original By-Laws.

The Service Academy Business Network is a great opportunity to network with Service Academy alumni and hear interesting and informative speakers.

Recent speakers include Mike Flood, Vice President of Community Relations for the Seattle Seahawks; Bob Ravener, Senior Vice President of U.S. Partner Resources for Starbucks Coffee Company; and Tay Yoshitani, CEO of the Port of Seattle.

Breakfast meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of September, November, January, March, and May at the Harbor Club - Seattle.
