ALUMNI BOOK CLUB TO HOST TWO MEETINGS 
Kramerbooks Meeting (Option 1) - July 23 at 7:30 PM 
 Atrium of National Portrait Gallery Meeting (Option 2) - Aug 3 at 1:30 
Interested in discussing books with other Georgetown graduates? Come to one of the upcoming meetings of the Georgetown Alumni Book Club to discuss "All Our Names" by Dinaw Mengestu. This novel --coincidentally also the book chosen for upcoming Georgetown freshman to read this summer -- tells the story of two young men leaving college in the 1970s at the time of an African Revolution in the states. As the Revolution becomes more serious, the friends split ? one diving head force into the violence of the movement, and the other escaping to the American Midwest. The friend that escapes to the American Midwest does so pretending to be an exchange student and ends up falling in love with an American social worker living there. This man?s idyllic escape and newfound life in the Midwest are darkened, however, by his revolutionary work left undone, and the memory of his friend. Full of insight on love, grace, the political climate of the 1970s, and self-determination, this novel is one that is sure to inspire all readers and provoke great conversation for our book club. 
Please join the group for this discussion on whichever of the two aforementioned meeting dates better fits into your schedule! If you plan on attending one of the sessions, please email the group?s organizer at [email-masked] to let her know.

MEET THE AUTHOR OF MEET ME AT THE BAR, I'M HUNGRY, MIKE SOPER 
The Georgetown Alumni Club and City Tavern Club are pleased to welcome Mike Soper to speak about his latest book, Meet me at the Bar, I?m Hungry. 
Local chef Michael Soper (C '75) will be joining the alumni club on September 24 to discuss and sign copies of his cookbook-memoir entitled ?Meet Me At The Bar ? I?m Hungry.? He has already received enthusiastic endorsements from esteemed Washington Post restaurant critic Phyllis Richman and Washington Capitals and Wizards owner Ted Leonsis (C '77). 
This book features stories and recipes from a local restaurant career spanning four decades. Many of the tales celebrate Georgetown?s golden saloon age, when Mike was introduced to the enjoyment of dining at the bar. The book proceeds like a great menu, starting with appetizer recipes and ending with some of his signature dishes.
