PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: Dear Big Ten Club Members and Friends of the Club, Last month, at the Wrigley Mansion in Pasadena, we held our annual Caucus with the Tournament of Roses, the Club’s Board of Directors and other club members making it a memorable evening. Vice President Marc Goldsmith served as our capable MC and drew plenty of laughs throughout the evening and each of our directors delivered their State of the University updates. We were all informed about campus updates from throughout the Big Ten. And for the first time we officially welcomed the Nebraska Cornhuskers into the Club. As you know, having the opportunity to attend the Caucus at the Wrigley Mansion is only one of the benefits of membership in the Big Ten Club of Southern California. Perhaps the biggest member perk is the chance to order tickets to the annual Rose Bowl game, often the hottest ticket in town. But to take advantage of these special benefits you need to be a dues paying member as of September 30, 2011! MEMBERSHIP has its privileges All new and renewing members that join by September 30 will be eligible to purchase Rose Bowl tickets. We are proud that, for at least the last ten years, every member of the club wanting tickets has been able to purchase at least two. This is just one of the many great reasons to join the Big Ten Club. To renew online today, just visit www.bigtenclub.com/members-signup. Or bring your dues check and Join us at our rockin’ Happy Hour on Friday, September 30 at Rush Street in Culver City. What: Big Ten Happy Hour and Networking Mixer Where: Rush Street in Culver City When: Friday, September 30, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Why: -
