Big Love from the Class of 1994 (and Reunion News)

My dearest classmates,

Last Valentine's Day, we announced our reunion theme,"Groove is in the Heart." One year later, we're just three months away from our 15th reunion!

Here's the latest:

When
Reunion is May 21-24 (the weekend after commencement). You should be getting reunion materials soon. The early bird deadline--which saves you a few bucks and helps us in our planning--is at the end of March (I think). Check your materials for specifics and sign up early!

Where
Our class headquarters are in the Quad, Comstock living room. Kaci Bishop is our Headquarters Chair. More details about locations for class activities can be found here. (The nearest airport is Bradley International (BDL) in Hartford.)

Who
We keep a running list of classmates who have let us know they plan to attend. The most recent additions are Virginia M. Albert-Glanstaetten and Magda Hernandez Bunning. Kirse Granat May, our Class VP and Reunion Chair, and Amy O'Neal, our Reunion Co-Chair, and the rest of the Reunion Committee can be reached at smithreunion1994@gmail.com. If you want to sign up to help, drop them a note.

What
Information about meals, class fees, the class meeting (where we elect new officers), etc. can be found here. You can also use the search box at the top of the blog to search for more topics, such as child care.

We're hosting a wonderful "Groove is in the Heart" anusara yoga class taught by a Smith alum that is free and open to all levels. There will also be a very special event, hosted by the Alumnae Association, the LGBTQ Alumnae Alliance, and the Class of 1989, to honor Cynthia Wade ('89), who won an Oscar for her documentary Freeheld. There will be a screening and a reception on Saturday afternoon. Details to come at the blog.

Lesley H. Reidy and I are also organizing a memorial service for the members of our class who have passed away. We'll post details at the blog, once we have them.

And, we're still looking for digital images (scanned photos) for the Saturday night slideshow. Send them to smithreunion1994@gmail.com.

Why
Because we love you. :-)

If you have questions or suggestions, drop a note to Kirse at smithreunion1994@gmail.com. Please spread the word by forwarding this e-mail along to classmates or letting them know about our blog and our Facebook group, where nearly 100 classmates have connected so far, including Amy Smith, Shawna Matilla, and Stefanie Plaumann.

Groovy hearts and sweet Valentine's wishes,

Naomi
