February 11, 2012. Here's an update on our 50th Reunion, the first of several Special Editions we'll compile between now and May. It's coming together well. Set a reminder to check back often. — Mike Kane
Our 50th Reunion Survey is well underway. The goal is for as many classmates to participate as possible, both those of you planning to attend the Reunion and those that cannot make it. Almost 100 classmates had participated by February 10. Early results indicate some interesting findings and some changes since our last survey in 2007. Our goals are 200 completed surveys by the end of the month and 300 by March 31. Click here to take the survey. Click here for additional information (updated 2/10/12).
Look who says they're coming! To look for classmates who say they're coming - 144 as of Feb. 12 - and to add your name to the pre-register list (it's non-binding), just choose this link.
Registration packet coming about March 1. On or about March 1, the AYA will mail you the formal registration packet, including a request for payment and scholarship/discount information. Watch for it. Meanwhile, details of activities not specific to our class and suggestions for booking hotel rooms if you don't want to stay Davenport, our home college, are here.
"Why I Go to Reunions" by Bill Nye (a timely read)
Still hesitating? Consider a range of reasons to attend:
- It may be the last chance.
- Formerly-unapproachable classmates now are easier to talk with.
- You can network to a better lawyer for doing your will.
- You can get a discount on the costs if you need it.
- It'll re-energize your friendship network for the next five years.
- You can't wait to know about and discuss the latest class survey.
- You relish the stimulation of golf with classmates, and/or of panels on topics from careers to art to the environment.
- You just like to hang out with people who started from a similar place and see what's become of them (and their interesting wives and companions).
