We invite you to participate in a bus trip to New York City on Sunday, July 26 to see the musical “Foolerie”. It is a Shakespearean Musical Comedy with books, music and lyrics by Endicott native and Binghamton University alumnus Santino DeAngelo ’13. “Foolerie” will be staged as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival and was among the 10 entries chosen from more than 200 musicals submitted from around the world.
Come be an invited guest of the Great Earl in this exclusive chance to meet Clowne, the most infamous jester of the age, and his traveling troop of fools as they employ madcap madness and musical comedy in their desire to divert you! Wits will be battled, entendres will be doubled, and art itself shall be put on trial in this wacky powerhouse of cross-dressing, mistaken identity, true love, and pure, unadulterated, foolerie. A comedic send-up of Shakespearean proportions, Foolerie is your chance to be foolish or be fooled!
The bus will depart at 7:30 a.m. from the Shafer Plaza in Endicott (500 North St.) and arrive at the Pearl Theater in Manhattan (555 W. 42 St.) at 11:30 a.m. in time for the noon show. After the show, the Alumni Association will host a reception nearby with Santino and some of the cast members. The bus will leave Manhattan at 7:30 p.m., and return back to Endicott.
Only 56 spots are available; the cost is $65 per person (which includes the bus and the show), and there will be light refreshments on the bus down and back. To register or ask questions, e-mail [email protected]. Payments are by check or cash only.
The 2015 tournament will be held on Friday, July 31 at The Links at Hiawatha Landing in Apalachin, N.Y. On the 31st, check-in will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the course and the tournament will have a shotgun start of 12:30 p.m. for 18 holes of captain-and-crew golf with a cart. The tournament will include great prizes and contests including hole-in-one, closest to the pin, longest drive and a putting contest to name a few. Register now to secure your spot!
Registration is now open for the 2015 tournament and is limited to the first 36 teams that sign up.
A foursome in the tournament is $560 and includes golf, lunch, beverages on course, registration giveaways and dinner reception. Check out the Sponsorship Opportunities page for information on our Platinum and Team Sponsor options that include foursomes with additional benefits. Guests and non-golfers can join us for the awards dinner for $45/person.

It is now time to register for the Rowdy Townie 40th Reunion (Friday, July 31 – Sunday, Aug. 2)! I have been working over the past couple of months with the Alumni Relations office to establish a schedule of events that will allow us to catch up with one another, spend some time throughout the local community and see how the University continues to grow and improve.
Our reunion coincides with the Alumni Golf Classic being held on Friday, July 31 at the Links at Hiawatha Landing. Registration and tournament details can be found on the Alumni Golf Classic website if you are interested in participating.
Our reunion will include a campus tour, time to check out the annual Spiedie Fest and Balloon Rally at Ostiningo Park, dinner at Nirchi’s on the Avenue, and brunch at Traditions at the Glen to name a few. Click here to view our full schedule of events for the weekend. We will again have the opportunity to stay on campus starting on Thursday night in the Mountainview Residential Community which has central air conditioning. Rates will be $50/night for a double room, $32/night for a single room, and $10 per person for linens.
Please call the Alumni Relations office at 607-777-2424 to register. The staff will confirm which events you plan on attending throughout weekend and will take payment if you are planning to stay on campus. Registration for the reunion will close on Wednesday, July 22. Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
I greatly look forward to seeing you again this summer!

Did you know that you are BOLD? We sure did! BOLD stands for Bearcats of the Last Decade and refers to our alumni who have graduated in the past ten years. We know that our BOLD alumni have unique interests, goals and aspirations. As co-chairs of the local alumni chapter, we are excited to host programs and events that suit you. In fact, we have an event coming this month.
Your Alumni Association’s Greater Binghamton Chapter is excited to invite you to an exclusive networking event in partnership with the Southern Tier Young Professionals (STYP) group at Social on State on July 30. This event will be an opportunity for you to meet other BOLD alumni in the area as well as members of STYP. The event will be held on the patio, or indoors if it rains, and food and drink specials will be offered. BOLD alumni are encouraged to register here. All who register will receive a gift at the event. You may also wish to join our Facebook event to see who else will be attending.
There is no cost to attend, but we ask that you please register online so we know to expect you. This will be the second BOLD-specific event in the area, with others on the horizon.

Thank you for registering for tomorrow night’s event at Quirky. Courtney Huff in the Alumni Relations office had e-mailed you yesterday, but we wanted to make sure you received word about a change in plans.
Because of circumstances out of our control, we will not be able to meet at Quirky, so our plans to have an event there are postponed indefinitely. For more information, please visit the Quirky website. We fully intend to plan an event once Quirky is able to resume normal operations, and we’ll be in touch when a new date has been selected.
We would still like to hold an event tomorrow night, so please join us at the Atwood (986 2nd Ave., Manhattan, at 52nd Street), starting at 6 p.m. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be provided and drink specials will be offered.
