Early Fall 2026

Mini Update

Our mini-reunion in Boothbay Harbor, Maine was a great success. Check out a brief note about our time together with pictures of us and gorgeous Maine:  https://www.mountholyokecollege1963.org/Maine-Mini-Reunion.htm or under Reunions Past on the bar to the left. Many kudus and thanks to Jane Bragg and Nancy White arranging this special time for us.

Keeping in Touch

 Mary Ann Weiss, Jane Bragg, Nancy White, Elli Rogan and our class Scribes Paula Bruice, Jenni DeWolf, and Diane Rapp are all leading efforts to inform us and help us stay in touch. Recent posts by Diane, Paula, and Jenni in the Alum Magazine are anything but dull. Our scribes write beautifully. Nancy White keeps us up to date about upcoming class events - always writing class letters and navigating the tech of their distribution so that as many of us as are interested in staying engaged can do so.

Many of us continue to make good use of the Mount Holyoke Class of ‘63 website!  Member Chat is active. Please take a look there and join the conversations already posted. At any time, you are also welcome to begin a whole new post.  

Alternative Living Discussion

On June 18th, Nancy Welker held and led a lively Zoom discussion about where and how we are living now. Twenty classmates attended including several who had not attended previously. There is definitely a desire to continue these discussions; and there is interest in including other issues of common interest as we continue actively managing life in our 80’s. Another zoom discussion is planned for October.   Email Nancy Welker about your interest and any suggestions you have. 

Jane Bragg and Elli Rogan, Co-Head Class Agents, report that with the generous help of all of our class agents, at in the end of calendar year our class has raised $227,718 for the Mount Holyoke Annual Fund. Our 110 donors from a possible 221 solicitable classmates contributed to our 50% participation goal. We also won $4500 in March4MHC Challenge awards. Thank you both and all our class agents very much for your dedication to this project in this years. Our devotion to Mount Holyoke remains very strong. 

In the fall discussion and planning in earnest our 65th Reunion! in May 2028 will begin. We are seeking input about how to program and plan events, in cooperation with AA planning. Please send your input to me or any other class leader or officer, or leave ideas on Member Chat.
