Inspire, Fall 2007

22 Fall 2007 alumni association news Recent Alumni Events June 15 — South Central Pennsylvania Chapter Event Alumni, students, and families enjoyed the music ministry of CU’s HeartSong in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. With more than 75 in attendance, there were many opportunities for interaction with new and old friends. July 17 — ABWE in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania The annual ABWE conference is a perfect location to connect with alumni missionaries. More than 75 alumni and their families attending the conference got together for dessert and heard an update on what’s happening at CU. August 4 — Philadelphia Chapter Event One final day at the shore before heading back to school was the perfect end to summer for these Philly-area alumni. Trustee Al Stevens and his wife, Joanna, opened their home in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and plenty of alumni and student families enjoyed the party. August 14 — Indianapolis Chapter Event Another great event in Indy! The picnic was filled with fun as the CU Bee and a local clown were in attendance. Alumni and their families enjoyed a cornhole tournament, fellowship with the student alumni group (DAE), and, of course, a large dessert table. July 8 — Chicago Chapter Event The Master’s Puppets ministered in local churches and were joined by a small group of CU alumni for a time of fellowship. The work of the Chicago chapter leadership team is greatly appreciated, but we need more help. E-mail mmccune@cedarville.edu if you’d like to volunteer. July 28 — Colorado Chapter Event Alumni came from all over the state to Highlands Ranch, Colorado in order to see one another and welcome new students to the Cedarville family. This is quickly becoming an annual tradition for the Colorado chapter! August 11 — Columbus Chapter Event Playing outside may have been the highlight of this event for most of the kids, but meeting new people and reconnecting with others (in the air-conditioned shelter!) was what the adults enjoyed. Games, prizes, the CU Bee, and balloon animals rounded out the fun. August 18 — Maine Chapter Event Although it was a chilly day for swimming in Sebago Lake, that didn’t put a damper on the enthusiasm of the Maine chapter alumni who showed up for a cookout. Sharing CU stories and gathering around the grill to keep warm brought these alums even closer.
