ANNOUNCEMENTS
Reunion was terrific! Thanks to Sally Donner and her committee for making this both fun and thought provoking. The weather they ordered was spectacular. Everything went smoothly. It was wonderful to see every one who was there and we greatly missed those of you who were not there.
We are working on a recap that will be posted on this website. It will have lots of photos and information-- if you have stories, comments and/or pictures to contribute, please send them to me (Mary Ann Weiss) or Suzy Eberson Adams. Meanwhile, I will post a few random shots, but what Suzy and Ken (and you?) come up with will be much better!
Class leaders for the next five years
At reunion we elected our new class officers, including president, Karel Mortenson Koenig. See who wilil be leading us into the mid-2020s on this website Class Officer page under Class Business.
It's here! Our 60th reunion book is now posted on line and it looks gorgeous! Congrats to the amazing and dedicated editors who pulled together all the contributions from nearly a hundred of our classmates. Hard copies were distributed to those at our 60th reunion and there may be a few remaining copies that could be purchased from Nancy. We will also keep the posted copy on line and if you would like to be included and add your reflections to it, we would love it. Please send your entry to the principal editor, Nancy Selinka White, who will include them.
Loyalty Award to Stephanie Smith, our class treasurer, website person and overall class supporter
Alumnae Achievement Award to Barbara Heymann Goldberg, an accomplished and widely recognized poet who read a few of her pieces to us at reunion, much to our delight
Website stats-- I just looked at the use statistics for this website. Over 100 of the 194 classmates who have joined the site have visited the site in the last month. 143 of our classmates have not joined. Classcreator, the website developer, doesn't count classmates who joined and then died. They count "hits" as 1 hit per day, even if someone has visited several times in one day. There have been almost 100,000 visits to the home page (actually 99,922) since the website was formed in 2013 before our 50th reunion. We are delighted that so many of us are using the class website and would love feedback about what does work or would make it work even better for you.
2023 is coming soon and with it our 60th Reunion. If you would like to join a planning committee, please contact one of those already on board by clicking on a name listed above. We hope you will be at reunion-- you can read more about it by going to the 60th reunion page listed on the left side of this page.
Learning about Wills and Bequests On Jan 27th and Feb 10th, 2022, a total of more than a dozen classmates participated in interesting discussions with Anne Vittoria, Mount Holyoke’s Director of Gift Planning. Videos of the two sessions can be found here: January 27 and February 10. You may have to turn up the volume.
