Sending love to you from SVA, Class of 1999!
Your 25th Honor Class Reunion is coming up fast, Alumni Weekend April 19-21. We're looking forward to welcoming you home to campus. You should have received this email from the Alumni Association with lots information about the
weekend. Click the link and it will help answer your questions and help you plan.
Here are some general highlights about the weekend for now:
-
SVA’s 27th Annual Golf Benefit begins on Friday, April 19, at 8 a.m. at Bryce Resort. For more information and to sign up, click here.
- Everyone is invited to an alumni registration, supper (haystacks and sticky buns to eat in or carry out for Sabbath breakfast) and a super low key business meeting Friday night, starting at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria. The caf is a great place to meet up and you can pick up your weekend program and nametag. Vespers will follow at 8 p.m. in the church.
- Church will be in the gym at 10 a.m., with honor class photos immediately following. There is no Sabbath School. Be sure to be on time or you might miss Roll Call.
- Sabbath lunch provided by the cafeteria is free of charge for you and your family, a gift from SVA to you. We will have a meeting location on campus for you that is yours for as long as you like that weekend, even if you want to have a meal or hang out there Saturday night.
- After lunch, there is plenty of free time for your class to hike to the gap, take a nap, plan a dinner, gather at a classmate's home--you name it--until Alumni Basketball begins in the gym at 9:00 p.m. A classmate or two usually plan the reunion events during this free time, so please let me know if you are that person/people.
Two things you can do right now to help gather your class:
-
Complete this RSVP form. We know plans can change, but we need an estimated guest count to make sure we have enough food for the three meals SVA provides during the weekend: Friday supper, Sabbath lunch, and Sunday breakfast for anyone interested in talking about SVA today. (No one wants to run out of food!)
You are going to have a wonderful time getting together and seeing everyone. I hope you will plan to join in your big reunion. You have a lot catching up, celebrating each other and your shared SVA experience, to do!
Please feel free to email or text me if you have questions or want to volunteer to help gather and organize your class.
For Shenandoah, Shenandoah!
