40th Class Reunion for IES Abroad Vienna 1974-75 Friday, September 19th to Tuesday, 23nd, 2014 -- Vienna, Austria

 

Dear IES Abroad Vienna 1974-75 classmates,

Our reunion is less than five months away and the excitement is building. We have RSVP’s from 36 classmates for a total of 53 people who plan to attend the September Reunion. For those of you still making up your minds, we would love to have you join in the fun! What better way to celebrate turning 60 than spending time reliving our study abroad experiences in the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria!!

 

Our reunion itinerary is attached. Keep this for your records. We are also including a RESPONSE FORM and request that you print it out, fill it out and return it at your earliest convenience (no later than July 1st) with a check for the dinners you choose to attend, as they require either a deposit or a group payment.

 

All spouses or significant others are encouraged to attend! If you know someone in our class who has not received this information, please forward it to them as soon as possible.

Please join us and reunite with your classmates!

 

Travel and Hotels:

As soon as you are ready, make travel reservations according to your own plans. You may choose to arrive earlier than September 19th and/or depart later than September 23rd, perhaps for an extended stay in Vienna or to visit other places in Europe. IMPORTANT: Make sure now that your passport is current and the expiration date extends at least six months beyond your travel dates for fall 2014.

We also encourage you to make a hotel reservation now. September is a very busy month in Vienna. A list of hotels recommended by other IES Abroad reunion classes appears below. If you are receiving message this via email, just click on the hotel name to connect to their website:

Class Gift

In honor of Clarence and Alberta Giese, co-founders of IES Abroad, and whom many of remember warmly during our time in Vienna, we will be assembling a class gift around our 40th anniversary class reunion. The gift will be used to provide one or more scholarships for need-based students to study abroad on an IES Abroad program. Closer to the time, you will receive a gift/pledge form with more information. For many of us, attending the reunion is a significant expense, so please know that your gift can be designated as a pledge payable at the end of this year, or even next year. We will raise a glass and toast the total amount raised while we are together in Vienna. We know how much study abroad and the Gieses meant to our experience in Vienna and this is a wonderful way to honor them, while at the same time making it possible for one or more students to have the world opened up to them.

 

Do You Have Old Photos?

The IES Abroad Vienna Center Archivist is collecting photos and other interesting documents you have taken during 1974-75. Scan and email them to: archive@iesvienna.org

 

Contacts
