Class ’61 50th Reunion Steering Committee Meeting Summary

The Class of ’61 50th Reunion Steering Committee met on April 24 to continue planning for the 2011 events. We are far from our goal of $200,000. Many classmates have not yet made a pledge. Thus far, only 45 of the 175 classmates on the mailing list have made a pledge. Total pledges equal $127,700 with $7539 received to date.
A new letter will go to classmates this summer to solicit additional pledges and to encourage us to begin paying our pledges. Sandra Randolph will order more HU pins that we can sell to help raise our pledge. Contact Sandra if you are interested. There will be a 50/50 Raffle during Homecoming weekend. Steering Committee members will have 10 books each to sell. Ralph Gofney agreed to explore other fundraising options. Next meeting will be on Alumni Day.
