Chase Alumni: Bring bank memorabilia to next week's NYC reception + JPMC on the River?
Dear Reader,
Please click below for these stories:
The CAA members-only fall reception is next week and registration closes at 4 pm this Friday, October 24. Join the 130 alumni who have already signed up for the reception to be held on the 50th floor of the JPMorgan Chase Tower at 270 Park Avenue on Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Admission is $30, and pre-registration and payment is required.
Representatives from the JPMorgan Chase Archives will be at the October 28th CAA reception at 270 Park Avenue to accept bank memorabilia from your days at Chase Manhattan, Chemical, Manufacturers Hanover, Banc One, Washington Mutual or any other financial institution merged into the current JPMorgan Chase. There’s one type of memorabilia they don’t want, however: Please don’t bring articles of clothing – i.e., t-shirts and hats. The archivists also will lead tours of the archives outside the reception room. Click here to see some of the items donated by Chase alumni through the CAA in 2006.
If you've already registered, why not contact some former colleagues and encourage them to attend? Please also check the "Look Who's Coming" list to see that your name is listed as you want it on the name tag. Changes may be sent to news@chasealum.org.
