Family, Friends, & Alumni Weekend 2010!

River Day Boat Races 2010

You know you have entered a new year at Lasell when you start seeing advertisements for Family, Friends, and Alumni Weekend!

A weekend not to miss, alumni, family, friends, and current students are welcomed to take part in numerous events. Not to mention, enjoying the change of seasons on our beautiful campus.

Beginning October 15th, Mentalist Robert Channing will be on campus at 8 p.m. in de Witt Hall for students. When I first attended Channing's show I was left awe struck at his talent! He chose arandom person in the audience and guessed the exact change in their pocket! I would highly recommend seeing him and being part of the show.

That night there is also a showing of Toy Story 3 at 7 p.m. in Rosen for families, friends, alumni, and students. This event is brought to us by Campus Activities Board.

Things really speed up on the Saturday the 16th beginning with the Charles River Boat Cruise at 9 a.m. Tickets are required for this event, but it is absolutely worth it. If a boat cruise isn't necessarily your style, FFAW is offering a Boston Duck Tour at 11 a.m, which also requires ticket purchase. Both tours are a great way to socialize and learn about the city you're living in.

From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Wass Patio is the Fall Fest and Campus Barbeque. The Barbeque is a great opportunity to introduce friends and family and spend a beautiful afternoon outside. Though the Barbeque runs until 2:30 p.m., Fall Fest is held until 3:30 p.m. During this time there will be Varsity games as well as Alumni Athletic games for your viewing, or participating, pleasure. The atmosphere is buzzing with socializing, great food, and music brought to you by Lasell College Radio.

That night Toy Story 3 will be showing again at 7 p.m. as well as CAB Bingo starting at 8 p.m. in de Witt Hall. These events are open to all students, friends, family, and alumni. This will be people’s one and only chance this year to bring family and guests and have them eligible to win. Prizes include a Blu-Ray Player, Black Nintendo Wii, a board game bundle, a Disney movie bundle, and more!

Wrapping up the weekend on Sunday the 17th is the River Day Boat Races. This event begins at 11 a.m. at the Stoller Boat House located down the street from the Lasell Campus. This is an exceptional event due to the fantastic location right on the Charles River. Atendants are able to form teams, sign up, and race in our old restored war canoes. The winning team also gets to bring home a River Day trophy! The boat races are another, as well as the last, opportunity that weekend to spend time enjoying the scenery and all of which our college has to offer.
