Dear Robert,

As 2015 draws to a close= the Yale Club of Washington (YCDC)  would like to report to the loca= Yale community on its activities and community service initiatives for th= year, and invite you to support our Club in its mission.

For many =f us, Yale fostered a passion for learning and commitment to service that =as shaped our lives long after we left New Haven.  The Yale Club of W=shington's central purpose is to help us to learn, and to serve, here in o=r local community, and to continue to enjoy the fellowship of our fellow Y=lies.  Towards that end, the Yale Club, which is operated by Yale alu=ni and a volunteer board, has conducted a wide range of programs and commu=ity service projects over the past year:

The YCDC once again organized and funded the C=mmunity Service Summer Fellows program, which brings Yale undergraduates t= the Washington area to assist local charities, with a particular focus on=serving our disadvantaged neighbors.  Those services are provided fre= to the host organizations, but the Yale Club provides a stipend and housi=g for the students.

The YCDC, along with Yale-related entitie= across the country, sponsors the annual Yale Day of Service, which provid=s volunteers and material support to multiple local charities.

The YCDC operated three local Alumni=Schools Committees, which are responsible for assisting the Undergraduate =dmissions Office by conducting interviews and submitting reports on prospe=tive matriculants.

The YCDC sponsored an initiative to =elp identify students of promise, not just for Yale but for college genera=ly, from local schools that tend not to send large numbers of graduates on=to higher education.

The YCDC, for the 12th year, cosponsored =ts annual Congressional Forum, the mo=t prominent bipartisan<=pan style="color: #1a1a1a;"> and bicameral policy forum in Washingt=n, drawing key speakers from both sides of the aisle; this year's event fe=tured nearly 20 members of the House and Senate, who addressed a wide rang= of policy issues in a civil and constructive setting.

The YCDC sponsored a three day tour of the Gettysburg ba=tlefield, conducted by a prominent professor and Yale alumnus.

The YCDC initiated an innovative mentoring program, link=ng experienced professionals and recent graduates in the early stages of t=eir careers.

The YCDC hosted numerous, highly informative programs fe=turing leading experts in a range of fields, as well as sponsoring other e=ucational fare.

The YCDC also organized numerous social events for membe=s of the Yale community of all ages, backgrounds, and interests.

This coming year, the Yale Club will do all this= and more: in the coming months, we expect to host programs featuring Pres=dent Salovey and Dean Holloway, among others.

We cordially invite you to be a part of all that=the Yale Club does.  The most meaningful way to participate is to bec=me a member of the YCDC. =Also, we welcome your financial support: though the Yale Club works closel= with Yale and the AYA, we receive no financial support from the Universit=.  If you choose, donations may be directed to specific purposes, suc= as the Community Service Summer Fellow program.  Contributions to th= Yale Club, a 501(c)(3) organization, are fully tax deductible.  To j=in or to contribute, please go to our web site here.=20

On =ehalf of the Board of Directors of the Yale Club of Washington, =.C., thank you and wishing you a Happy New Year!
