We
are sending a huge THANK YOU to JOHN
WILLIAMS, who sent in an amazing contribution
of $500 for the class treasury! We are extremely
grateful for his generosity and thoughtfulness
in boosting our treasury this way! Thank you,
John!
We
want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to STAN
COLLINS, who very generously donated
the cost of the paper, all the envelopes, and
the printing of our 600+ invitations this year!
Mailing
almost 600 invitations at $.59 per envelope
added up, so to help with that expense, PAT
DYNES is covering 50% of the cost.
We
will be inviting former teachers to our party
at LaScala on Saturday, July 4, and MIKE
O'ROURKE is donating the paper, envelopes,
printing and postage for that project!
Remember
the letter you received in February - sort of
a pre-reunion letter? BILL
CLARK donated the paper, envelopes,
and printing for that set of letters. Back in
2004, we spent several hundred dollars on mailings.
For this year's letters, the class treasury
is paying only for the postage.
SUE
JONES PATTERSON
donated all the materials and postage, plus
her time, for the creation of the Memorial Tribute
invitations. Sue also took on this project for
the 2004 reunion.
RENEE
ALLEN MORGENSTERN made a generous contribution
to the general fund in the amount of $100.
FRITZ
REITTER once again has donated the use
of a Reitter Stucco truck to pull our amazing
float, so thank you, Fritz!
If
you buy a ticket to the LaScala dinner party,
you will receive - at
no charge! - a UA69 t-shirt. This
is being made possible by JACK
COCHRAN, who is printing the shirts
at his cost. Thank you, Jack, for this great
donation. We really do want each classmate to
have a Class of 1969 shirt!
LESLEY
BEESON TATE,
owner of The
Paper Flower at Tremont Center, is graciously
donating the white roses for the Memorial Tribute
Ceremony, as well as the balloon bouquets for
the LaScala dinner party. Thank you, Lesley!
Also,
any money generated by the sale of other UA69
logowear, such as the golf shirts, hats and
visors, will be donated to the class treasury.
It
is these kinds of generous donations that permit
us to keep our reunion party costs down, because
we don't have to allow for these expenses, which
are sizable!
If
you would like to make such a donation - and
donations of ANY SIZE are greatly appreciated
- please see our Donations
page for suggestions of specific funds.
And of course, any cash donations are welcomed.
Our
class is amazingly generous and thoughtful,
as was evident in 2004 when we initiated the
Memory Tree
/ Alumni Garden feature of our reunion weekend,
as well as our
Friendship Fund. THANK YOU to everyone who
has reached out to enhance our treasury and
enable us to keep the ticket prices manageable
so that as many people as possible can come
to the reunion!
