&lt;p&gt;The Cornell Club of Washington invites all fellow alumni in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland to celebrate the legacy and tradition of Theodore Zinck's&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 Zinck's&lt;/strong&gt; in the Washington DC area, one in DC, one in Maryland and this one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This years Zinck's will be at the Lake Anne Brew House,&amp;nbsp;11424 Washington Plaza W, Reston, VA 20190-4310.&amp;nbsp; The event will be in their outdoor space.&amp;nbsp; Dress Accordingly.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In case of heavy rain, event may be changed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LABH is owned by Cornellian Melissa Romano,&amp;nbsp; Architect 1995. Our very own modern day Theodore Zinck...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Come join us in Reston -&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Walk-ins welcome&lt;/u&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Theodore Zinck was a saloonkeeper in Ithaca and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place for Cornellians in the 1890s. After his death in 1903, several bars using his name continued to provide a haven for students. When the last “Zinck’s” closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck’s became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates. It wasn't long afterwards that Cornellians continued the tradition in their hometowns.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Harper's Ferry Roller Coaster Hike (10/17/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Vigorous Hike from Harpers Ferry: AT Roller-Coaster &amp;amp; Maryland Heights We’ll hike up the steep roller-coaster&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vigorous 10.4 mile Hike from Harpers Ferry: AT Roller-Coaster &amp;amp; Maryland Heights&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saturday, October 17 starting 8:30AM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ll hike up the steep roller-coaster part of the Appalachian Trail, up to the Old Fort, overlooking a nice strategic view of the Potomac River, then back down &amp;amp; around to the Maryland Heights with a photogenic view of Harper’s Ferry, set between the rivers, near Peregrine Falcon nests&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nps.gov/hafe/learn/nature/peregrine-falcons.htm" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.nps.gov/hafe/learn/nature/peregrine-falcons.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Snack/lunch/photos from there, then back down.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a challenging hike. We’ll take water breaks as needed, but you should be prepared for the challenge. We’ll aim for a 2.4+ mph pace. Since there is a steady ascent, with over 1500 ft. el. gain, you should be able to do at least 3.2 mph on level ground. Bring enough water! Wear good hiking shoes or boots!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Parking may be limited, but the Visitor Center at 171 Shoreline Dr, Harpers Fy, WV usually has spaces for $20 or a National Park Pass.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please allow for 15 minutes for the shuttle ride into town from the Visitor’s Center, in order to meet us at the town stop no later than 8:30AM. In case of rain, confirmed by the forecastr 2 days before the hike, we’ll re-schedule for October 24.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lunch in town is possible after the hike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;GENERAL INFO/FINE PRINT&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Hiking involves inherent risks and requires that participants be in proper physical condition.

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Mingle in small discussion groups centered around Cornell-related themes. Share your favorite spots in Collegetown, reminisce on the festivities of Spring/Slope Day, and learn how Cornell has changed over the decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;We will use Zoom video chat and split everyone into small breakout rooms, so everyone has a chance to talk and share with just a few people. Everyone will get rotated around, so you will meet many Cornellians through the mixer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Donate!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;We’re seeking live auction items like boxes or tickets to sporting events, premier hotel or vacation stays, or exclusive experiences like &lt;em&gt;Dinner with the CEO&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Legacy Worth Lifting&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From Cornell in Washington to the University’s Government Relations presence, the connection between Cornell and the Metropolitan Washington, DC region has always been vibrant and deeply rooted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A cornerstone of that connection is the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;endowed scholarships&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;supporting sophomores, juniors, and seniors from our region — honoring proud DC Cornellians&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Howard Epstein ’58, Law ’61; Austin Kiplinger ’39; Robert McKinless ’48; and Robert Ladd ’43.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These funds exist because alumni stepped up. Now it’s our turn to build on that legacy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
