The WITS Alumni 2 on 2 tournament was incredible as Nachi Winter (Class of 1998) and Dov Winter(Class of 2002) defeated Reuven Becker(Bais Medrash) and Marty Conlon(Milwaukee Bucks 94-96) in the finals of an entertaining night.  Marty publicly thanked his fan club at WITS for having made his years in Milwaukee the best years that he had in the NBA.  View the video at witsalumni.com or go directly to it at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3597916489764099668

Shmuz with me over coffee!
starbucksMy favorite thing to do as Director of Alumni Affairs is talk to the alumni and listen to
what is going on in your lives. And if you don't have anything to say I can tell you what is going on at  WITS.   So call anytime at (414)963-9317 x124
And don't forget to grab yourself a cup of coffee.
