Did you know there are over 1,000 University of Illinois alums living in the Tucson area?
That is quite a collective
presence here in Southern Arizona! Wouldn’t it be great to get
together with other alums from time to time to watch a football or
basketball game and cheer for our team? Or, attend one of our many
social functions throughout the year? The Tucson Illini Club was
formed over 20 years ago to provide a means for Illini alums living in
the Tucson area to get together informally and have fun.
There is no time commitment or obligation to attend events that will
be offered this year, and membership in the Illinois Alumni
Association is not required.
Our plans for this year include game
watches at a local sports bar, spring training baseball or a game at Chase field, dinner with a guest speaker, wine tasting, pizza night, jazz night and theater/play events.
It’s interesting to think there are a lot of
us living here that share a common thread – being a part of the
University of Illinois family! Think back for a moment of all the
students you met while you were on campus that lived perhaps in your
town or towns you never heard of before. Joining the Tucson Illini
Club and attending (when time allows) a game watch, for instance,
enables you to reconnect not only with the U of I, but also Illinois
itself, where so many of us grew up.
We are non-profit, our membership cost is low,
there is no time obligation on your part, and you will have a great
time at our game watches and other events. Give us a try. We’d look
forward to having you as a member! Recent graduates (class of 2008, 2009 nd 2010) are invited to join their first year for free.
