Dazed and Confused

So, I've been thinking about this lately. I used to be relatively selective about
my associations and I used to be more disciplined about "networking". I need a "better" club downtown and a place to work out.

I was invited to join a club in Chicago by a friend from school. Maybe it is about time that I foray a bit into the realm of the professional crowd again. It has been a long time, and the 6 pack-a-day crowd isn't "deep". The Niedersachsen was a good start. Going "corporate" again might be a good thing.

Membership
Welcome to the Alumni Club of Chicago, one of the nation's finest city clubs. For your convenience, we have outlined the complete membership process. If you have any additional questions about membership or the Club in general, please do not hesitate to contact our Membership Director at
312-555-1212.
Requirements for admission

University or college degree from four year institution

Completion of nomination form. (Nomination forms may be requested by members only.)

Three letters of recommendation from existing members of the Club. (One from proposer, one from seconder and one additional letter of support.)

Once the nomination form and three letters have been submitted to the Membership Office, an interview will be arranged for the candidate and their proposer with the Committee on Admissions. The interviews are conducted the fourth Thursday of every month, where two separate members of the Committee will interview the candidate files and vote on their potential election to membership. Upon approval of the Committee, the candidate's name will be posted in the lobby for a two-week period for review by the entire membership. With no objections after that time, they shall be elected to membership.

Upon election to membership the new member will receive a packet which will include, among other things, his or her membership number. Once the member receives his or her number and upon remittance of the entrance fee, he/she is an official member of the Alumni Club of Chicago.
