The Dartmouth Club of Greater Boston

General Events

DCGB Board Meetings: The Board generally meets on the second Tuesday of every month (except July) in order to plan events and manage the affairs of the Club. Meetings are open to all Members.  Even if you cannot attend a  meeting, the Board would appreciate hearing your ideas and suggestions (and complaints) which you may share with any Director, including our Club President Jane Parkin Kullmann D'01

Alumni/ae Interviewing: Volunteers are needed to interview seniors as well as represent Dartmouth at local college fairs.  Interested alums should contact Andrea Lordan D'86.

T-Shirt Delivery: Share your Dartmouth experience with newly admitted students and their parents. Club members deliver Dartmouth T-Shirts to accepted applicants in December shortly after early-decision notifications are sent and again in April shortly after regular-decision notifications are sent. Please contact Andrew Horne D'87 for more information. It is important to re-register as a volunteer each year. Volunteers may find additional information here.

Dartmouth Book Awards: Each year the Dartmouth Club of Greater Boston provides Book Awards for deserving high school juniors. Our Club's Book Award program serves over 120 secondary schools and is the largest in the nation. There is a great need for volunteers to interact with the schools in Winchester, Bedford, Melrose, Billerica, Methuen, and Lowell. Alumni who would enjoy speaking with local school administrators about the program should contact the Rev. Don Fitzsimmons D'46.

Join fellow alums and friends aboard Roseway – a wooden, two-masted, gaff-rigged schooner that has served Boston most of her life – for a two-hour sail of Boston Harbor. We are fortunate to have access to Roseway as she transits from her winter home in Christiansted, USVI, to her summer sailing ground in the Great Lakes. We will depart Moakley Courthouse dock promptly at 6PM on Friday, 4 June, returning to dock at approximately 8PM. The cost for the sail is likely to range from $45-55 per adult (stay tuned!). Friends and children are most welcome to participate. There will be a limited cash bar (beer, wine and soft drinks), and the event is “rain or shine” which means that we will sail absent severe weather. We have capacity for 80 guests. Please contact Chip Conner D'85 Tu'87 with questions or to reserve space.
