2009 Alumni Weekend In celebration of the tenth year of the varsity men's soccer program, all Michigan Soccer Alumni and families are invited to participate. It was certainly from the efforts of all those that played before us that we've emerged onto the national collegiate soccer scene. You were the forefathers and will always be recognized as such. Therefore, you and your friends and family are invited to share in the reminiscing and carrying on. If you cannot attend the Alumni Weekend but still wish to donate, please use this donation form. We will send you your gift in the mail. The schedule of events is as follows: 4-7 p.m., Pre-game gathering at Dominick's (Monroe St., Across from Law Quad). Jeff Mirmelstein and Will Purdy will be greeting you at the door. 7:30 p.m., Soccer game vs. Wright State on the "new" Soccer Game Field (behind Varsity Tennis Center by 400 yards ).

game, our team parents will feed both the players and all the alumni
under the big tent. This will the first opportunity for the players on
the team to connect with you and vice versa. It is very important for
the current players to get a sense for their next step after their
playing days end. So I really hope that you all stick around and
socialize with the boys over some good food. This
