Dear Berkeley alumni, students and friends,

Happy Fourth of July! Please find below the July 2013 update of upcoming events for the Berkeley Club of Singapore (in Blue and Bold) and from our affiliate clubs via DUAL (in Red and Bold).

In case you didn't already know, the Berkeley Club of Singapore Annual Dinner will be held on Friday, 26th of July at the Four Seasons Hotel. It promises to be a memorable night with fundraising for a very worthy cause - the students of Berkeley Study Abroad. Did you know that Singapore is the Top Choice among summer session students? This summer, there are 60 students in Singapore (next is Dublin, Ireland with 33) and most of these students are financial aid recipients. As de facto hosts and ambassadors of Singapore to these students, it's incumbent upon us to support them as best we can.

Please note that we are hosting two Happy Hour sessions this month:

  1. Monday, 8th of July at 7:00pm - OverEasy (special guests David Richardson, Haas, International Business Development, and Berkeley Study Abroad students)

  2. Thursday, 11th of July at 6:30pm - OverEasy - our usual happy hour...you know the drill.

As always, new members who sign up or old members who renew their memberships at the Happy Hour will receive a free beer, compliments of several Exco members (limited supply).

DUAL Drinks is back on – but at a new venue – Namu Korean Dining. Come down for the July DUAL Drinks to check out the new venue.

Finally, if you are interesting in being part of a Berkeley team for the DUAL Trivia Challenge, please respond to this email. If there is enough interest, we will organize a team. Please note that DUAL is combining DUAL Trivia Challenge with the American Association of Singapore’s Quiz Night. So, form a team of 6 and see who will be the champion of the DUAL Trivia Challenge/AAS Quiz Night!

To receive the most up-to-date information on Club activities and news about Cal, please join us on our Facebook Page and Group.

Thanks & best regards,
