60th Reunion Planning Underway

2023 is coming soon and with it our 60th Reunion. We're starting off with a bang, as  Sally Donner has agreed to serve as our Reunion Chair and Mary Ann Weiss as Co-Chair. Karel Koenig is gathering together a Hospitality Committee. Our Reunion Gift Chair is Alice Andrus, who will be ably assisted by Jane Bragg. Bunny Gramlich is planning our dinners. Gretchen Harris is thinking about the program. Nancy White and friends are planning for a way to share our experiences, memories and thoughts with an online/website booklet. Last but certainly not least, our Treasurer, Stephanie Smith, will join this core group, along with our Class President, Elaine Jacoby.

We will be meeting later in June and will then name our full planning committee. If you would like to volunteer to be part of the committee, please email Mary Ann at weissma@nku.edu; Sally Donner at sdonner736@gmail.com; or Elaine Jacoby at elainejacoby16@gmail.com
If you would like to be part of the Nominating Committee for our next group of class officers, who will serve from the 60th to the 65th reunion, email Elaine.
