Dear Friends of the the HBS Club of Charlotte,

As you may know, 2008 is the Centennial Year of the Harvard Business School, and like us, clubs all over the world are organizing Global Celebrations. For the 2007/2008 year, we hosted several exciting events in addition to our Nonprofit Symposium attended by over 250 nonprofit managers in the Charlotte metropolitan area. We are looking forward to a full calendar for the 2008/2009 year!  We are missing only one thing: YOU! We do hope you will join the club this spring. For $99, you get access to a full year’s worth of speaking and social programs designed for networking, growth, and fun. This offer expires 10/15/08.  

It’s easy to join online. You can join for 1, 2 or 3 years, as well as register for upcoming events. This is an exciting year for HBS and the Charlotte Alumni Club. If you are able, please consider supporting the club above and beyond the amount of your dues. Every incremental $50 enables the club to improve services like the website, events, and outreach.

We look forward to you joining!

-Paul Wylie, Chief Membership Officer
