HEC (a prestigious business school in Paris) has invited us to play in a week long tournemant in Paris from September7-15. This is quite an honor considering they are only inviting 12 teams from around the world.

In case you don't keep up with your rugby news, the tournemanet will take place during the Rugby World Cup...which happens to be the worlds 2nd most popular sporting event! What I'm trying to say is that Paris is going to be BANANAS. There's a good chance that we will get to see one or more World Cup games!!

There are less than two months till our trip to Paris. If you haven't began working on your passports, Please do that as soon as possible.

As far as the roster for the trip...we have a few slots open, and would like to open the trip to alumni as well as current and incoming students. Anyone who is interested should contact Keith Cummings [klc19@duke.edu] immediately to get on the list. If you have friends who have graduated, please forward the opportunity to them.

Once again, we will be leaving on Sept 6 at 5:50pm and returning on Sept 15. Airfare will cost around $750 per person and this will be the only expense we're responsible for since HEC is covering the cost of food, lodging and entertainment during our stay.
