Labor Day signals both the end of the summer and the start of a new school year.

Fall Winery Trip to Chrysalis Winery 
September 13 - Bus Leaves from McDonough Gym 
Our annual Fall Winery Tour has long been a popular event. This year, we will visit Chrysalis in southern Loudoun County. 
After a bus trip from the Georgetown campus to the winery near Middleburg, VA, Chrysalis will provide a tasting of its wines, led by a dedicated wine educator, and then provide box lunches so that we can enjoy the view while enjoying wine and food. We can buy wine to accompany our meal. 
Then we can recover from our lunch while we ride the bus back to Georgetown. 
This event is limited, so register early! Box lunch orders must be submitted a week in advance, so if you register after 9/5 you?ll get turkey and gruyere sandwich. 
Meet bus at McDonough Gym parking lot on main campus. Bus leaves promptly at 10am, please arrive by 9:45am.

The John Carroll Society & the Georgetown Alumni Club of DC invite you to a special lecture by Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Archbishop of Boston.
 
Cardinal O'Malley will draw from his rich background including founding the Spanish Catholic Center in DC and most recently serving on the Council of 9 Cardinals who advises Pope Francis on governance of the Church. 
Admission to the lecture is free, but seating is on a first-come first-served basis. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

September 7 @ Atrium of the National Portrait Gallery 
Interested in discussing books with other Georgetown graduates? 

 Come to the next meeting of the Georgetown Alumni Book Club to discuss "A Constellation of Vital Phenomenon" by Anthony Marra. This novel - set in the background of the Chechen wars - begins when 8-year old, Havaa, is saved by her doctor neighbor Akmed, after her father disappears from her tiny village of Eldar, Russia. After rescuing Havaa, Akmed takes her to the nearest hospital and puts her under the care of the skilled and resourceful doctor, Sonja. As the five days during which Sonja cares for Havaa unfold, the pasts of these three characters - Akmed, Havaa and Sonja - are woven together, and the fate of them is ultimately determined. A "New York Times" best seller deemed to be a powerful story about "the transcendent power of love in wartime," this novel should excite readers and bring about thought-provoking conversation for our meeting! 

We certainly hope you can join the group for this discussion at our September meeting! 
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 
September 24 @ The City Tavern Club 
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.
