Mad Money Taping TOMORROW
Who wants to be on CNBC tomorrow?
While the financial info in this show pertains to everyone, it’s going to be specifically relevant to members of the US armed forces. Special guests, a chance to interact on the show and some giveaways are all scheduled. CNBC’s own Mike Abrams wrote a book – and we’ll be giving away copies, so we’re hoping for this to be a real worthwhile time.
Transportation will be provided to NJ. Anyone interested in attending please e-mai Garo Vartabedian as soon as possible.

Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts with Team Rubicon
Friday, November 2, 2012
Dear Milvets,
Over the last the few days, state and government officials have made tremendous efforts to support the victims of Hurricane Sandy. While Columbia University and the surrounding neighborhoods were spared significant damage, many in our greater community have had their lives devastated by the storm. There is still great demand for volunteers to assist in our local area to help people in need. Now is a time for us to assist those impacted by Sandy. Any Milvets interested in taking part in relief efforts can sign up through Team Rubicon's volunteer link.
