F&M REGIONAL CHAPTER PROGRAM

EVENT CATALOG FOR BLUE CHAPTERS

This Catalog is a collection of past email blasts that supported Blue Chapter outreach

efforts and events. The events represented here were successful in attracting attendees and

representing the mission of the Franklin & Marshall Regional Chapters program.

Past events included here have utilized the connections of local alumni and trustees to

access unique program opportunities and have targeted a variety of audiences through the

attractions offered. They were planned by local volunteers in partnership with staff from

the College’s Alumni & Parent Relations office.

For more information about any of these events and to get started planning activities in

your area, please contact Aimee Achorn Fasnacht in Alumni & Parent Relations at

BREAK-EVEN EVENTS

Generally speaking, events that break even in terms of cost are simpler to plan logistically

and can be ready to promote more quickly. They also require less promotion lead time,

because of the limited financial exposure involved.

The costs of the events represented here were fully covered by attendee registration fees.

Where noted, an alumnus or trustee helped to obtain a venue or attraction at a reduced

price or at no cost.

FLAGSHIP EVENTS

Flagship events represent our highest quality Regional Chapter programs, and they are

usually more complex logistically. They should be planned 4-6 months in advance and

promoted 2-3 months in advance, to allow F&M Friends ample opportunity to participate.

The events represented here required funding beyond the income generated by registration

fees to pay for space rental, faculty travel and other large costs.

The cost of these events were covered by a combination of PEP Award funding, attendee

registration fees, financial contributions from the Alumni & Parent Relations office and

contributions from alumni and trustees (where noted).

PEP (Premier Event Programming) awards are made available by the Alumni Association

Board’s Chapters Committee through an application process. Alumni Association Board

members who serve on local Chapter Councils and staff of the College’s Alumni & Parent

Relations office can assist local Chapter volunteers in applying for this funding.

the 60's, he was a regular at the well-known jazz showcase, Dick Gibson's Colorado Jazz Party, and a

lifelong avocation was born. Paul began producing jazz parties of his own in the 60's, including the

"Heavenly Jazz" series that ran for three decades. Paul also brought jazz to F&M in the 70's with concerts

including musicians like Al Cohn, Zoot Sims and Joe Venuti.

Join us for an F&M tradition in New England and an

unforgettable summertime treat. We will celebrate the

season with the Boston Pops at a performance featuring

legendary jazz vocalist Diana Krall.

This year, our gathering will take place at the Boston

Pops' seasonal venue, Tanglewood, in Lenox, Mass.

Before the concert we will enjoy the company of F&M

friends and delicious desserts at a private reception in

Tanglewood's Formal Gardens tent. Coffee, wine, beer

and cold beverages will also be available.

Then we will move to the Koussevitzky Music Shed to

hear one of the greatest jazz vocalists of our time

accompanied by the Pops in an outstanding musical

program.

Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Diana Krall began

studying piano at the age of four. Encouraged by her

pianist father, she was performing in restaurants by the

age of 15 and was ultimately awarded a scholarship to

the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After two years

at Berklee, she moved to Los Angeles and eventually to

Toronto, where she signed with her first label. In 1993,

Justin Time records released her first album, Stepping

Out, and the rest is history.

A Christmas Story, The

Musical!

with Private Reception and Cast

Meet & Greet

America's #1 Christmas movie comes to life

on stage as a hilarious holiday musical, A

Christmas Story, The Musical!

Premiering nationwide at the Hershey

Theatre and produced by the film's original

Ralphie, Peter Billingsley, this holiday

classic will entertain the whole family. Join

F&M friends for a delightful holiday

experience, including a private dessert

reception before the show and an exclusive

meet-and-greet with the cast.

Based on the writings of radio humorist

Jean Shepherd, A Christmas Story, The

Musical! chronicles young, bespectacled

Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way

towards the holiday gift of his dreams -- a

Red Ryder Action Air Rifle BB Gun. ("You'll

shoot your eye out kid!") A kooky leg lamp,

outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a

maniacal department store Santa, and a

double-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole

are just a few of the distractions that stand

between young Ralphie and his Christmas

wish.

F&M's Metro New York Regional Chapter

Presents a Private Concert Featuring

Legendary Jazz Trumpeter Jon Faddis with Jazz Guitarists Gene Bertoncini and Howard Alden

Join us for an exhilarating evening of jazz featuring legendary trumpeter Jon Faddis and guitarists Gene Bertoncini and Howard Alden. This musical program is being produced by Paul Weinstein '53, and it's an experience you won't want to miss. We will begin with a wine and cheese reception at 7 p.m. followed by musical sets at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Jon Faddis is known as the greatest jazz trumpeter of his generation. He began playing the trumpet at the age of 8, inspired by the performances of Dizzy Gillespie, with whom he was collaborating by his mid-teens. He has played live and in studio with many of American music's greatest artists including Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra. He performed at the White House in 1982 at the age of 29, and his horn was also heard on the theme of the "Cosby Show."

Gene Bertoncini is one of today's pre-eminent jazz guitarists. He has performed with musical greats including Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich and Tony Bennett. Bertoncini honed his skills as a member of Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" band and has performed with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

Howard Alden began playing the guitar at the age of 10, inspired by the music of Benny Goodman and Count Basie. He has performed with the likes of Woody Herman, Bud Freeman and Dizzy Gillespie. In 2004, Alden was the guitarist and musical director for a 50-city concert tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival.

Join us for a memorable program led by American Studies

Professor David Schuyler, a delicious brunch catered by

award-winning Jimmy Duffy's and a tour of the

masterworks, and he and several PAFA docents will be on

hand to share their insights as part of the exhibit

experience. Brunch and tours will take place in PAFA's

historic landmark building, opened in 1876 for our nation's

Centennial Exposition and World's Fair.

Public Treasures/Private Visions is a rare opportunity to

see paintings that seldom travel outside of New York City,

as well as paintings from superlative select private

collections of Hudson River School art. The Hudson River

School is one of the most influential traditions in the history

of American landscape painting. Ranging from grand

visions of the American West to quiet forest interiors,

American painters absorbed the traditions of European

landscape artists and reinvented them to celebrate the

distinctiveness of the vast American landscape, and created

new art for a new land.

President's Council on the Arts. In 2007, Chico received a

"Living Legacy Jazz Award" as part of The Kennedy Center's

Jazz in Our Time Festival, as well as a Doctorate of Fine Arts

from the New School.

As dynamic as ever at the age of 87, Chico Hamilton has a

resume that includes film scores, original compositions,

commercial jingles, over 50 albums as a band leader and

countless international tours. Hamilton teaches at the New

School's Jazz Program and tours extensively in North America

and records with his band "Euphoria" and is working on an
