Our Milwaukee area Creighton University Alumni Club got together on the evening of Sunday, February 10, 2008 (as did other CU alumni clubs across the country) to watch the bitter basketball rivalry of the Creighton Bluejays versus the Southern Illinois Salukis. Organizing the event were Pat Porter, Michelle Angeleri, and Jenny Fotsch. Zim's bar in downtown Milwaukee was the location and attendees included recent and not-so-recent grads - two of them even played basketball for Creighton in the past!
