MIT CLUB OF SOUTH TEXAS Houston
Early Music Society – Ensemble Anonymus International
Dinner Houston “Friends of Archaeology” If you need to contact us about a specific event, please see the contact information for that event. Houston
Early Music Society – Ensemble Anonymus For those of you whose
musical tastes go beyond the “Backstreet Boys”, we will attend the final
concert of the season of the “Houston Early Music Society”.
The musical group is “Ensemble Anonymus”, which will perform works of
the Medieval Era. What’s that?
You’ve never been to a medieval music concert, but always wanted to?
Well, now’s your chance! The
Houston Early Music Society describes this concert thus: “Your musical voyage
ranges from the transparent harmonies of Hildegard to frolicking dances and
spirited tunes – a journey not to be missed.” (http://www.tayara.com/earlymusic/)
Tickets are $20 each ($15 for students and seniors). The
concert is Friday, April 20, 2001, 8:00 PM, at St. Paul’s United Methodist
Church, 5501 Main St., between Calumet and Binz.
Check
the club website for a map. You
can either go directly to the concert, or join us for dinner beforehand at the
“Black Labrador Pub” at 6:00 PM. That
address is 4100 Montrose Blvd. (near W. Main St. – north of Richmond Ave.). International
Dinner Our next International Dinner
will be at "Samba Cafe", a Brazilian restaurant. Samba Cafe (tel.
713-961-7379) is at 3055 Sage, between Westheimer and Richmond - just south of
the Galleria. Check the club
website for a map. The cost is $20 (different
from usual!), which covers food, soft drinks, tax, and tip, with wine and beer
extra. They have many Brazilian
dishes planned for us (including Feijoada, a
thick, rich stew of black beans, pork ribs, sausage, and dried beef), so this is one dinner you shouldn’t miss!
You can come as early as 6:30 PM for a social half-hour.
Dinner is at 7:00 PM. Please RSVP to me at home at
713-436-3538, or via email,
by Wednesday, April 25. Seating is limited, so dues-paid members (&
their guests) have priority. Also,
at a recent dinner, we were charged for no-shows, so if you can’t make it,
PLEASE CALL ME! I hope to see you
there! Finally, the next International Dinner following is
planned for June.

The Houston “Friends of Archaeology” has been in existence for 10 years and sponsors archaeology-related educational trips and lectures. Occasionally, they also sponsor free lectures open to the general public. These will not be “formal” South Texas Club events per se, but we plan to highlight these public events for your information.

next event is: For further

- Steve Murdoch It’s time once again, time for the 2001 MIT Club of South Texas membership drive. The MIT Club of South Texas invites you to join or renew your membership for 2001. Membership in the club runs coincident with the calendar year, which means that those members who paid their dues before October 1, 2000 need to renew now for 2001. Membership is open to all MIT alumni and alumnae, as well as current undergraduate and graduate students and their parents. Your dues in the local club are used to pay for mailing announcements and
the newsletter, sponsor events for local high school students accepted at the
Institute, award prizes at local science fairs, and improve local science and
math education through our Leadership in Education Program (LEAP).
For over six years we have been sending local high school teachers to MIT
for a one-week session in secondary science education.
Although we do benefit from some administrative assistance from the
Institute, the MIT Club of South Texas does not receive funding from MIT or
from the Alumni/ae Association. Membership is available at several levels. Regular membership continues to be $25 per year level.
Patron membership is offered for an annual contribution of $50.
Special Sustaining and Benefactor membership is available for those who
contribute $100 and $200, respectively. As
recent graduates, members of the Classes of 1996 through 2000 can join at the
special reduced rate of only $5 per year. Members
at all levels receive discounts as well as preferred enrollment for themselves
and their guests at MIT Club of South Texas sponsored events. Last year was one of our best membership years ever for our local club,
and we’d like to make next year another winner. Join today to get
the maximum benefit from your membership! - Al Cisar
