Your Special Gifts Co-Chairs and Annual Giving Rep

November 2008

This year, it will be 35 years since our graduation (incredible!). As we prepare for our major Reunion (June 12-14), it’s a great time to reflect upon our time at Wellesley, and to think about the College—what it has done for us, and what we can do for current and future students.

Our 35th Reunion Gift participation goal this year is “74”%, which includes 40 Durant Society members and a class gift of at least $350,000. This will bring our five-year cumulative gift to $1,392,000 of which $1,042,000 has been raised in the last four years. Our 35th Reunion Gift goals reflects both the need driven by the College’s financial aid initiative, and the importance (and good times!) of our big Reunion.

Please note that you can also make gifts in honor of or in memory of classmates, family members, and/or friends as your 35th Reunion gift. This is a wonderful way to honor or commemorate someone important to you. For these gifts, the honoree or family member will receive a letter from the College indicating that you have made a gift. For these gifts, please indicate who the gift is in honor or in memory of and where the College can send the gift acknowledgement.

We hope you will do your part to continue the long-standing tradition of Wellesley alumnae helping current and future students to attend this most cherished institution. We look forward to seeing you at our 35th Reunion!

Sincerely, Christine Carnavos, Special Gifts Co-Chair
Jane Desforges, Annual Giving Representative
