STEVENS CLUBS Stevens Metropolitan Club BY DON DAUME ’67
M
onthly club meetings continue to be convivial, informative and, at times, uplifting at the various venues selected by the members who attend the luncheon. Eight members attended in October at Don Quijote restaurant in Fairview, N.J., and eight members enjoyed the November luncheon at Puerto Spain restaurant in Hoboken, with special guest Ed Eichhorn ’69, Stevens’ vice president for Development. The gracious sponsorship of Rose and Bob Bosse ’50 allowed our club once again to celebrate the December holidays at the Knickerbocker Country Club in Tenafly, N.J. In all, 19 members plus 38 spouses, friends and Alumni Office and Development staff members were there to enjoy music by David Zimmerman ’90 on the piano, with Paula Eichhorn singing seasonal selections. The Class of 1957 turned out to help honor Ken DeGraw ’57 for his 10 years of service as alumni clubs director during his 55 years in volunteer service to the Stevens Alumni Association and to Stevens Institute. Dean Gregory Prastacos spoke on behalf of our Institute and its Howe School of Technology Management. Member Mike Danon ’60 set a tone of good cheer with his introductory remarks and reminiscences. Club president John Stevens ’72 emceed the entire event with aplomb, and even led all in singing birthday wishes to Anita Lang, SAA executive director. You are warmly invited to attend our luncheons to see if membership in our club appeals to you. Do come join in our fellowship in support of one another, the Association and our ties to Stevens Institute of Technology.
