President's Letter
Hello Big Ten Club Members,
I
hope you all had a great 4th of July! Our Independence Day Eve
celebration with the Annual Hollywood Bowl
event was phenomenal. Josh Groban did not disappoint. It was nice to
see some familiar faces and new friends!
The next event this summer is
the Big Ten Beach Party on July 20th. It's always a lot of fun in the
sun with your favorite midwest folks! We have
a ton of RSVPs already, so be sure to join!
I'll be off to Chicago for
the Big Ten Media Days at the end of the month. I live in the suburbs
now so downtown Chicago does require a bit of travel;) Joan and Brian
will be joining me and returning with reports
on the upcoming B1G Football Season.
They will also be hauling back
some goodies for the 67th Annual Caucus with our Tournament of Roses
friends on Wednesday, August 7th. Mark your calendar for this marquee event!
The Big Ten Club will also be joining the
Orange County and San Diego Badgers for a Day at the Races on August
4th. Del Mar Race track is a fabulous setting for mixing and mingling
with Badgers and other Big Ten Club members.
We are closing out the
summer with a Big Ten Day at Dodger Stadium- August
26th. We have field level seats and a networking section. Ditch work
early and meet up at the Short Stop before the game.
For updates on
these events and what's happening with the club, you can always go to
www.bigtenclub.com.
Wishing you all coolness in the heat of the summer!
Best,
Kelly Reynolds
President, Big Ten Club of Southern California
