BRC Members Help to Organize Charity Benefit on March 10

BRC Alums member, Jen Pendleton, recently forwarded news that she and other BRC Alums members are helping to organize a wine tasting and silent auction to benefit The Animal Haven. Here is a (slightly edited) note about the event from Jen:

"

Hi Everyone,

It is almost time for The Animal Haven's Wine Tasting & Silent Auction!

When: Wednesday, MARCH 10, 2010
Where: Aunt Chilada's Restaurant, Hamden, Connecticut
Time: 6 pm to 9 pm

There are going to be lots of great auction prizes (RedSox Tickets and a 3L Bottle of BOGLE Wine just to name a few), and we are also having a Harpoon Beer Tasting as well. All Proceeds go to benefit Animal Haven's Emergency Medical Fund.

If you need tickets or more information, download the event flyer (323 KB PDF file). Tickets will be available at the door, too.

Hope to see you there!

Jen

Bayer Research Community Alumni at LinkedIn

Many BRC Alums have been using LinkedIn to help to manage their professional networks.

LinkedIn has several features specifically designed for groups like ours, so today we are launching the "Bayer Research Community Alums" LinkedIn group as a complement (not a replacement!) for our private Yahoo groups (see the sidebar on the right for links to the Yahoo groups).

All members of the BRC Alums and Beyond Berlex Yahoo groups are invited to join the LinkedIn group, as are individuals from the broader Bayer/Berlex alumni community.

The Yahoo Group will remain our forum for private group communications, while the LinkedIn group will aim to facilitate one-on-one networking among a broader community.

Through the BRC Alums Group on LinkedIn you can:

• Keep up to date with where other group members have landed;
• Keep your friends and colleagues up to date with what you are doing;
• Use the group network to find and reach the new business contacts you need;
• Accelerate your career through referrals from group members;
• Limit your network searches to other group members only, if you wish to do so.

Whether you use LinkedIn already or you're new to LinkedIn, if you are part of the Bayer/Berlex Research Alumni Community, please feel free to join the members-only BRC Alums LinkedIn Group!

Welcome!

This is the public website for alumni of the Bayer Research Community.

Check back with us soon for more information about the alumni community, as well as photos from the "BRC alumni archives", job search tools, and more.

If you would like to contribute articles, photos, or other information to the site, please contact the moderators at brc_alums@yahoo.com.

We also have several private, members-only Yahoo! Discussion Groups and E-Mail Lists for Bayer and Berlex  Research Center Alums:

• Beyond Berlex
• Bayer West Haven
