My dearest classmates,

Reunion is fast approaching and I know how busy you all are, so I’ll just wish you a happy spring and then cut right to the chase.

Happy spring!

Special events

Reunion is jam-packed with activities. In addition to the college’s schedule of events, we have some very special things planned, as well.

Friday, 2:30-4:00. “Groove is in the Heart” Anusara-inspired yoga class with Amy Reed ’05. Free to members of the Class of 1994 and their guests. More details here.

Friday, 4:45-5:15. “In Memoriam,” an open-air memorial service for the seven members of our class who have passed away since we arrived on campus in 1990. For more information, including the names of those who will be remembered, visit the blog.

Friday, 5:30-6:30 pm. Reunion Class Social Hour/Dinner/Family Fun Night. Mwangi Center, Davis/Davis Ballroom. We’ve designed our Friday night dinner event to provide a forum where Smithies can meet each others’ families and/or significant others, who are so much a part of our friends’ lives. There will be games and music, and the simple yet delicious barbecue fare aims to please all! Event will be outdoors, weather permitting. We apologize for the extremely expensive menu; we tried very hard to lower it, but the college sets the prices and they say it was the best they could do. Some relief is available for those bringing children: kids ages four to ten are $10; those under four are free). More details here.

Saturday, 1:30-2:30. Class Meeting. Everyone is encouraged to swing by the Class Headquarters (in Comstock House) to enjoy tea and conversation, and to elect our new slate of class officers. If you wish to stand for office, please be sure to arrive by 1:30. The election will commence at 1:45. Learn more at the blog.

Saturday, 5:30-6:30 pm. Reunion Class Social Hour/Dinner Campus Center, Wilson Atrium, Campus Center Carroll Room. Featuring a slide show set to music from our college years.

Take a load off

We’re still in need of volunteers to staff class headquarters. If you’ve got an hour and can help out (pretty, please!), drop Kirse a note at smithreunion1994@gmail.com. Sign up with a friend and you can kick back and relax at headquarters, and meet and greet your classmates as they arrive.

For more details about what to bring, child care, meals, etc., visit the class blog at www.graychase.com/Smith94.htm. To stay up-to-date, check the blog often and/or follow me on Twitter @graychase.

As always, if you have questions, drop me a line any time.

Hope to see you on campus soon.

Warmest wishes,

Naomi
