May 28 - May 31, 2009

If you are on Facebook, join our group at University of Mary Washington class of 1969 alumni!

Visit the reunion web page for a complete schedule of events

NEW! The Class of 1969 will meet for dinner on Friday, May 29 at Brock's Riverside Grill, 503 Sophia Street, Fredericksburg. Please plan to come to our Friday night dinner at Brock’s, and please send your $30 check to Linda Gattis Shull ASAP at 2700 Wintergreen Drive, Charlotte, NC 28211. This will help us in advance to let Brock’s know what our number will be, and by sending in the money now it will seem like a free event. The idea of doing class dinners on Friday was new last year, and very successful. It is more relaxed, gives us more time to catch up, and really is “our” time.

Patti Boise Kemp has volunteered to be the gatherer of pictures and memorabilia that we can post online, display, and most importantly that we will develop into a slideshow to be featured at our Friday night dinner at Brock’s-–this will definitely be a highlight. There is a great young man at UMW who will help put this together for us, and Patti lives close to F’burg to get things to him, so send anything you would like to include to her. We are most anxious for your pictures of college and get-togethers over the years with our classmates. Patti’s address is 13505 Pine Run Lane, Fredericksburg, VA 22407; cell (and text) 540.220.9385; email pattikemp@alumni.umw.edu.

accommodationsSinging in VA Parlor

We would like to be as close together as possible, so we are recommending 3 hotels that are all close together and convenient to campus. The two we would like to use are the Hampton Inn & Suites (540.786.5530) and the Homewood Suites (540.786.9700). The Hilton is also in the same area, and all are within walking distance of each other, but many of the members of the class of ’59 are using the Hilton, so there may only be a few rooms there. Get your roommates and suitemates together and relive our dorm days. Make sure to mention the Mary Washington Reunion and Class of ’69 so we can be close. Chrisie Wineholt has made her reservation at the Homewood Suites, and will have a room with a living area, which can be used as a central hospitality area.

Class giving campaign

I want to stress how important it is for each of us to participate in the class giving campaign. We want to win the “Eagle” award like the Class of ’68 did last year, but there is fierce competition from the other classes. There are two awards, and we would like to take them both, to settle once and for all the supremacy of the Class of ’69. As of right now we are tied for first place in the participation race--as important as the total amount is, the percentage of participation from the class is equally important. How great it would be if we had 100%! So please send any amount to help us achieve this goal. Even if you can’t attend the reunion, your donation is vitally important. Each of us was blessed with a great education from a fine college, and many of us were dependent on scholarships and financial aid. What a great way to pay back the help we received and enable others to have the same opportunity. Information for making a donation or a pledge is at www.umw.edu/gift.
