Cards from the sign-in board, sorted to be roughly alphabetical (not everybody filled out a card):

Reunion dates: June 8–10, 2007. For more information, contact Reunion Chair Chip Wilker, or contact Karen Bernier of the Alumni Office (phone 610-328-8404).

Schedule and other practical information can be found on the College Alumni page, where there is a general Alumni Weekend page and a specifically Class of 1977 page.

Reunion Highlights

Some special activities are planned for our class during reunion weekend. Some are described in the Class letter, and we're working on more. This is the line-up so far:

• A Multi-artist Exhibit in the List gallery including works by Alice Zinnes.
• A Special Reunion Dinner for our class Saturday night June 9 in the lobby of the Lang Music Building. We're inviting the classes of '76 and '78 as well, so please encourage your friends in those classes to join in the fun. (If you'd like your mature offspring (teens or older) to join you at the class dinner, just order extra dinner tickets on your alumni weekend flyer.)
• Saturday afternoon will be Open Mike time, co-sponsored by Classes of 1952, 1962, 1977, 2005, and the Folkfestival Reunion Group. All alums are welcome! Whether your forte is music, song, decadent poetry, or anything else suitable for a microphone, let your talents shine! Bring a song, an instrument, a friend, a song sheet; a poem. Come to jam or come to listen. To reserve a space, contact David Sacks and describe what you have in mind (think of 10 minutes): Songs, voices, instruments? Want accompaniment, singalong, unaccompanied? Need a microphone, or something more? (for example: “I will be playing guitar and singing, plan 2-3 songs, will have sheets so others could join in singing/playing. I only need a mike. Also offering trombone accompaniment to others.”)

Evening entertainment

Not to be missed! These events take place after the class dinner on Saturday night, and are open to all free of charge.

In Lang Recital Hall: A concert by Robby George and Friends. Fun for the whole family!

At the Olde Club: Nathan and the Narwhals play for your dancing pleasure.
(The Olde Club is conveniently located behind the tennis courts, not far from the D.U. and Phi Omicron Psi houses and between the Kitao Student Art Gallery and the Women's Resource Center. Confused? It's #35 on the campus map).
