		SCP - HANDS ON DC JOINT FUNDRAISER ( 3 / 21 ) Our February 7th event with Greater DC Cares was a great success: Over 150 people attended, literally taking over the landing at Cap City and most of the bar! We are told that about $750 was raised to support their charitable mission. Next month, on the first day of Spring, our tour continues: Join the SCP and Hands on DC at the "Sand Bar" at Whitlow's on Wilson on Thursday, March 21st, from 6:00-9:00pm for a fundraiser to benefit local public school students. As seen in The Monthly Buzz, for just $5 you get beverage specials, chips and salsa, and a chance to win a cool door prize! All money supports Hands On DC's 7th annual public school work-a-thon, which takes place Saturday, April 13th. Whitlow's is located at 2854 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, near the Clarendon Metrorail Station (Orange Line). This is all part of our effort to help you meet some of the groups that need your help while having a good time and meeting new people. So we hope you'll attend!
		SCP-SOCIETY TIES JOINT HAPPY HOUR ( April ) Coming soon: Stay tuned for details about our joint happy hour in April with Society Ties, and for news of other events still being cooked up. And check out our Links page for information about some select non-SCP events.
		UNIVERSITY ROW AT VIRGINIA GOLD CUP ( 5 / 4 ) In 2001, the Capital Alumni Network's University Row (CANUR) emerged as the dominant social locale along Gold Cup's popular North Rail. In 2002, it will be *the only place to be* at the 77th Annual Running of the Virginia Gold Cup: CAN organizers expect to have at least 13 anchor tents—an increase of over 80 percent from 2001—including new tents from the University of Richmond, Boston College, American University, the University of Michigan, Penn State, and the University of Notre Dame. More will be announced soon. With the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop and with a bright Spring sun above, University Row played host last year to over 900 alumni and friends from over seventeen schools. A total of seven tents were anchored by the local alumni chapters of the College William and Mary, James Madison University, the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Purdue, Wake Forest University, and the University of Texas, with participation from tent partners Arizona State University, Georgetown University, Hampden-Sydney College, NC State, University of Connecticut, University of Pittsburgh, University of Massachusetts, Penn State University, Georgia Tech, the University of Notre Dame, and other members of the Capital Alumni Network. This confederation of chalet tents was not only the largest CAN event, it was the biggest single gathering in the history of the Virginia Gold Cup. CANUR is a 100% volunteer-run effort with no profit motive to feed and proceeds flow through to the non-profit alumni groups serving as anchors. See http://www.universityrow.org for more information.
