MIT CLUB OF SOUTH TEXAS Annual Holiday Party MIT Club of South Texas Honored
with Presidential Citation Local Alumna Honored by Alumni Association If you need to contact us about a specific event, please see the contact information for that event. Annual Holiday Party Mekong River Restaurant RSVP: 713-436-3538 (home)
The club’s annual Holiday Party will be at
the Mekong River restaurant (formerly known as Dalat), the same place as the
last two years. We’re doing
something different this year, though – we’re trying a Sunday afternoon
rather than a weekday after work. Hopefully,
this will allow more of you to attend. Mekong River (713-669-9375) is at 3241 Southwest Freeway, which is on the
south feeder road between Edloe and Buffalo Speedway (click
here for
a map). The club will provide hors
d’oeuvres and you can order wine or beer from the restaurant (you can stay for dinner afterwards, too, if you like).
The club has reserved the upstairs function room and, as usual, we’ll
give away MIT-themed door prizes (who could forget the MIT shoe laces from the
1996 party?). If you plan to attend, RSVPing is not mandatory but, to help us with having enough hors d’oeuvres, please let me know if you can (home 713-436-3538) MIT Club of South Texas Honored

Service Award was presented to Cordelia Price ’78 at the September 2002 Alumni

The Lobdell Award, created in 1979, is given in recognition of alumni

shortly after graduation (SB Course X, 1978 and SM Course X, 1982).

Gifts Committee, on the Committee for Tech Day, and as a District Director on
the Board of Directors in 1997. Currently,
