This year’s drive is on. Join if you can spare the funds, folks.

What does your $72 buy? According to the sample fundraising letter on their site:

Bi-monthly magazine, The Bulletin
Brick Paver Recognition

Reunion e-mail list

No Gravatar

The class LISTSERV is updated and running again, with 273 contacts so far. I’m not going to post its e-mail address here, since spammers will find it and try to inundate us with offers to increase the size of our wallets, our real estate holdings, and various parts of our anatomy. If you haven’t already received the 2 or 3 messages sent this month, leave a comment below so I can reach you and add your address to the list.
