University of Michigan Club of Greater Boston

First Annual 2008-2009 Scholarship Campaign!

The University of Michigan Club of Greater Boston is proud to kick-off the first annual fundraising campaign to support need-based scholarships to local students accepted to Michigan! Over the next few weeks, you may hear directly from local alumni, and we encourage you to donate to this worthy cause. Keep your eyes open for an event later this year to celebrate esteemed Michigan alumni and hear from current undergraduate scholarship recipients.

Were you a Michigan scholarship recipient and willing to share your story? Interested in donating or volunteering with the group? E-mail BostonFundraisersumich.edu!

Don't watch football at home. Singing The Victors just isn't the same unless you're cheering elbow-to-elbow with other Wolverine fans and your bartender is wearing Maize and Blue. You'll also have weekly opportunities to win Michigan gear (free drawing for alumni club members—bring your Michigan alumni association card). So, watch all of the games with us—it's just like being in Ann Arbor. And, this year you have two options!

In response to popular demand for a convenient second location to watch games in Cambridge, we made arrangements to make Tavern in the Square in Porter Square our second location for game watching. We will have the backroom during all football games. A full menu will be available as well as free 3 hours parking with your Michigan Alumni ID. Also receive 10% of your meal if you show your Alumni ID. Address is 1815 Massachusetts Ave, Porter Square Cambridge, MA 02140 (617) 354-7766 (www.taverninthesquare.com). Also just a short walk from the Porter Sq T stop on the red line.

Or . . . come by the home of Michigan football in Boston at THE PLACE, 2 Broad Street, Boston, MA (www.theplaceboston.com). The Place has been a raucous Wolverine den for several years! This venue offers: A large room for nearly 200, so we can all be together (well, it's a bit tight, but we're all friends); plasma screen TVs all around; a free buffet at every game; plenty of validated parking right across the street; and easy access via the MBTA Blue (State/Aquarium), Orange (State/Haymarket) and Green Lines (Government Center). Come early—The Place fills up fast!
