Pre-Registration Considerations
To ensure that everything goes smoothly and there aren't any miscommunications, we expect all registrants to have read and agreed to the following:
- This event is for Mount Holyoke alums only. Please include your name when you register so we can confirm your alum status. Your registration will be cancelled if you don’t include your name! If you'd like to remain publicly anonymous and you're paying with a credit card, you can fill out the “Legal Name” field only.
- If you're paying with a debit card, please fill out the “Your name” field so we can find you in the Alum Directory. (We may contact you through the directory while your payment is processing.) Keep in mind that your name will be publicly visible.
- All necessary materials will be provided.
- Each ticket includes two illustrations from Pepin Artist's Coloring Book - Chinese Designs (select illustrations from Japanese Designs will also be available), one Kuretake Little Red Gift Set - 6 Watercolor Palette + Fine Brush Pen + Water Brush Pen, and some washi tape. You will be able to take these home.
- Illustrations will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis, then in registration order. The paper measures 25 cm × 34.5 cm (approximately 9.8” × 13.6”), and the Little Red Gift Set measures 15.8 cm × 9.0 cm × 1.8 cm (6.2” × 3.5” × 0.7”). Make sure you'll be able to comfortably carry these home, especially since there's a chance your paint won't be fully dry at the end of the event!
- No prior experience is needed, but if you have previously worked with watercolors, you're also welcome to join. Training videos will help us get started, but there won't be formal instruction.
- We're unable to accommodate refunds for this event, as event supplies need to be purchased in advance. Instead, consider "donating" your unused ticket if you can't make it, and we can offer your spot to other alums. We cannot guarantee any last-minute openings.
- The event address will be provided upon registration. Make sure you've located it in your ticket confirmation email from [email protected], from which additional event updates will also be sent. Attendees are responsible for providing an email to which they'll have regular access when they register.
- If you have any questions, please check the event description (above) as well as the Club’s event FAQ (linked) before reaching out! If your query is answered in one of those places, you are unlikely to receive a response, as the Club is an all-volunteer organization with limited capacity. Thank you for your understanding.
Alum Spotlight
Longtime Board member Eleanor Chang ’78 has been hard at work with the Alum Association, and NorCal alums are getting a special opportunity to participate early in the inaugural Red Envelope Challenge! For every alum or student who shares a message on the Lunar New Year celebration Kudoboard by February 12, a generous anonymous alum will give $8 (a symbolic red envelope) towards international student scholarship aid via The Mount Holyoke Fund. The 188th person to post will unlock a final jackpot to make the total gift $1,888, an auspicious number. Visit the Kudoboard to learn more about Lunar New Year and share a greeting now to contribute to this amazing effort.
