Dear Classmates,
It hardly seems possible that our 50th College Reunion is coming! How is that even possible? Reunion 2023 will take place on June 2 –3. It seems like only yesterday that I sat behind the desk at the College Center, after they installed the first video game machines!
The 45th Reunion was fabulous, but our class participation was low, so we hope more of you can come for our 50th Vanguard Class Reunion.
If there is a dinner on Friday, let us know if you prefer on or off campus. If off campus, will you need transportation? We have started to prepare for this special occasion, and we welcome your participation on our Class Reunion Committee. Just give me a call or email to participate.
We would like to plan to have a special item for class members to recognize our Vanguard reunion. Please let us know your suggestions so we can start to research this (scarf, hat, tote bag, etc.) Something to wear is preferred!
In addition, here are a few items for your attention:
Friday Vanguard Luncheon – Plan to be on campus for the class of 1973’s special 50th Vanguard Reunion celebration. The reunion schedule and online registration will be available soon.
In addition, I want to bring a few items to your attention:
Class Officer Nominations – Nominations for the 2023-2028 term are being accepted electronically.
