Prior
to the 2004 35-year reunion, Denise
Kontras Merino and Libbie
Pfefferle Trott developed a generous
and thoughtful fund,
The Friendship Fund,
to enable some of our classmates who have
severe health challenges due to strokes,
multiple sclerosis, and other debilitating
illnesses to attend the reunion activities
at no charge to them.
In
2009, we will once again use the Friendship
Fund to help these classmates attend our reunion
events. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! This project
depends on the benevolence of our classmates
in the form of donations that will be designated
for this fund. Molly
Cressor Ingold is also helping with
this project for the 2009 reunion.
Funds
collected will be used to provide admission
to the events and transportation if a specially
equipped vehicle is necessary.
Another
way you can help with this fund is by volunteering
to be a companion/host for one of our classmates
for a portion of one of the events. Pease indicate
which event and for how long you would be available.
If
you know of any classmate who is disabled due
to medical reasons, please contact
Denise, Libbie and Molly. All information
will be kept confidential.
This
is simply a pledge to include your donation
with your reservation or, if you are unable
to attend the reunion, you can simply send a
check when you receive the reunion information.
There will be a place on the final reservation
form specifically designated for donations to
this fund. We
appreciate your generosity and concern for others.
Questions?
Please email Denise,
Libbie
or Molly.
