UPCOMING EVENTS
Seven Sisters Virtual Trivia
We may be Seven Sisters, but what's a little friendly competition between siblings? Join the Seven Sisters Clubs of the DC area for a chance to mingle with other alumnae, before rolling up your comfy pants (it's Zoom, after all) and getting into a little friendly competition between colleges. We'll test your DC trivia (and we may sneak in some Seven Sisters history pop quizzes, too), so come represent Mt Holyoke in a friendly women’s college knowledge match.
Date: September 2
Location: Online
Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/seven-sisters-dc-virtual-trivia-tickets-164506542497
Mountain Day
Keep an eye out for emails from the college beginning in September! Folks in DC will gather at Dolcezza in City Center. If you have a satellite location in Virginia or Maryland you’d like the club to promote, please let us know.
Mary Lyon Dinner
The Club is hoping to hold the Mary Lyon Dinner in late September. We are working through all the logistics, but stay tuned!
7 Sister Connection: Lantern Bookshop
The Bryn Mawr used and rare bookstore, Lantern Bookshop located in Georgetown is now open! If you have the opportunity, let’s support a local women’s college enterprise. It is volunteer-run and proceeds go towards student scholarship funds: https://lanternbookshop.org
Know an inspiring MHC alum in the DC area? We would love to feature their profile in our future Alumnae Spotlight publications! Simply nominate them by sending us their name and contact email address at mtholyokedc@gmail.com
We’re not usually one to toot our own horns, but the MHC DC Club has a new website! Please visit https://www.mtholyokedc.org/ to connect to club resources, easily view upcoming events, pay your dues and meet your board. Come on over! The water’s fine.
As the site goes live, we are still smoothing out a few details so please be patient with us. If you have any questions or feedback on how we can make the site work better for you, please let us know.
