25th Reunion, June 17-20, 2010
“Tho’ ‘Round the Girdled Earth They Roam, Her Spell on Them Remains.”
Mark your calendars!! From June 17-20, 2010, we will return to Hanover to see old friends, reminisce, and cringe at the photographs of us in the eighties. Yes, we will soon celebrate our 25th Reunion and we hope you plan to join us!! Your 25th Reunion Committee is working hard to make this our best one yet, but, in the end, your attendance is the only thing that will truly make our Reunion a success. We’ve heard back from a number of you about what you would like to do, and we are incorporating as many of your suggestions as we can.
The official 1985 Class Reunion Page is up and is has the full agenda of reunion activities, and what a great extended weekend we have planned! From Mt. Moosilauke activities on Wednesday to a talk with President Kim on Sunday, there's more than one something for everyone, adults and kids alike. You can now log in with your VON account and register online, or you can register without logging in.
Reunion Housing
You will soon receive Reunion housing information under separate cover from the Office of Reunion Housing. Also, please note that registering for the Reunion does not guarantee you on-campus housing and that, after registering for housing, the Office of Reunion Housing will not confirm your assignment until you have registered for the Reunion. The Class of ‘85 Reunion will be housed on the Gold Coast, in the new, comfortable and nicely appointed Fahey-McLane cluster with overflow in Russell Sage, Lord, Streeter and Gile.
You will also find a list of additional housing options in the Upper Valley below under “Reunion Resources.”
