To EVERYONE, while our very little "Class Gift" sub-committee is not ready yet to get too many things posted or flying around on the Class Gift idea just yet, we are working on putting this into action right now. Some basic groundwork is being developed to make this a reality.
* We are making the necessary contacts at the school for reviews and approvals of any ideas.
* We are gathering some initial ideas and doing background research on costs, timetables, feasibility, etc. as we want to make sure that we have things that are wanted/needed by the school, affordable, and approved first.
* We will be sharing some ideas for people in our class to vote on and get comments, and would even entertain more ideas during this process. But we want to try and keep it focused on a few options if possible so we get it accomplished for 2009
* We will most likely work with others in our class in the near future for more input and help, as well as with Cathy and Tracy to help us post a survey on this site sometime soon, but this will take a little time.
Please be patient and hang in there, as some more information will follow soon. In the end, we all understand that we are in very odd (and difficult) economic times. We are also very sure that with a class like ours of 700+, that many of us may have possibly lost jobs, have debt issues, mortgage issues, and are possibly struggling. We only ask that we everyone consider providing a small donation of what you can, for a gift back to the school, and from OUR Class of '83. We all recieved a good foundation of knowledge from the school and faculty, and also had some good times that have grown now into great memories. We are hopeful that the students today have at least as good of an experience as we all did, thus a "gift back" is the idea. Regardless of what we collect, the amounts donated, or even if you can't donate, this gift in the end is going to be from OUR ENTIRE CLASS. So it is from all, and represents us all. More to come!
