A New Class of ’74 Voice–Meet Bill Walker
Happy New Year!
For those who were able to attend, I hope that you enjoyed (and still vividly remember) our 50th Reunion in Ithaca with all of the attendant activities. Events such as the RED Talks and opportunities to connect or reconnect with classmates including John Williams, founder, owner and winemaker of Frog’s Leap Winery (hopefully you also tasted some of his wines that were being poured) and other myriad choices for involvement kept us entertained all weekend.
In the event that you are wondering, yes, this is a new “voice” that you have not previously heard from on this channel. You also may not have heard that I have accepted the request to fill the VP of Membership role, responsible for leading the membership related activities for our class. Just like Costco has done with the price of their hot dogs, we continue to hold the annual membership dues at the same level year after year – $30 for an individual and $35 for a couple (both in the Class of ’74). More on that in another message.
Here is a list of current class dues payers. If your name is not on the list but you think that it should be, please reply to this message and let us know and we will check the records. And if you want to pay your dues for this year (July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025) right now while you are thinking about it, just click here.
In past years we have sponsored or co-sponsored many events for Class of ’74 members and are now in the process of developing plans for more activities involving our class including some that will encompass some of the surrounding classes (’72, ’73, ’75, etc.). You should soon be receiving a survey that is being sent to all of our class members. We hope that you will respond so that you can let us know what types of activities that you would like to see going forward as this will assist us in the planning process.
If you did not receive this message directly, it is likely that we do not have your current contact information. Please send a message to me that includes your name, preferred email address and contact information so that we can update the records.
We endeavor to keep the lines of communication open so we hope that you will stay in touch – and be on the lookout for the upcoming survey.
