CLASS GIFT. CLASS GIFT. CLASS GIFT.
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to implore each and every one of the class of 2004 to donate to the class gift. Any amount - your call. The big thing is participation because...

if 95% of our class commits to donate to sloan, we will be considered for an alum gift-matching of $100,000!

$100,000 - you heard it right. So donate $100, donate $50, donate $5 - just donate. That could be $100,000 left on the table if more than 20 people from our class fail to donate.

Click here to do it online [Find the "2004 Class Gift" designation by clicking on the "Schools and Departments/Sloan School/2004 Class Gift] or head to the gift table at Tang lobby. Only 7 more days to go and we're still just at 18% participation rate.

Ok, back to the levity and tales of excess.

BEACON HILL WEDNESDAYS - CINCO DE MAYO. Liz Hoffmann, Alison O’Neill, Laura Kauderer, Ansgar Chorhummel and Meghan Fitzgerald will be celebrating their birthdays tonight at the BHP. Cake and soda will not be served in lieu of beer and shots.

As the school year winds down, this is one of your few remaining chances to hang out with you classmates before you head off to the summer job, or worse yet, the permanent job. For some really odd reason, if you have never been to the Beacon Hill Pub tonight don't end the school year by missing out on one of the longest running social traditions at Sloan.

The evening festivities should start at 9:45. The Beacon Hill Pub is located at 149 Charles St., Boston -- inches from the Charles/MGH T stop.
