1. The deadline for extended stay is July 1st. They need a minimum of 30 people to have extended stay as an option. There are currently 15 people signed up. So if you are registered and toying with the idea of extended stay or if you haven't registered at all yet, now is the time.
2. Face Book- whether or not you are going to the reunion, please send Estelle your face book form and photo as the deadline is fast approaching.
3. There are two activities that need alumni support, organization:
One is a Saturday night talent show. Tony Purvis did a fabulous performance last year and was a huge success. I know we have talent in our class... Is anyone in touch with Dan Darling? If you would like to perform in any capacity, please let me know as soon as you can. To go along with this, if you have created music, visual art, film, photography or other talent that you don't want to do live but would like to share at the reunion, please let me know, i.e. Subi will be bringing some of her films. Even if you are not attending but would like to send something in lieu of you (MuRan- we want to play your CD!!) please let me know as well.
The other is an alumni forum. Below is the description:
There is concern about where the UWC is headed- concern with IB scores, less emphasis on national days and world affairs fora etc. This is our chance to have first crack at a brand new president and to let her know what the UWC did for us and how we envision the UWC's mission.
4. And what would it be to get an email from me that did have a plug for the class gift. There is another matching opportunity- dollar for dollar match and the deadline for that is the end of the reunion. But here's the rub, all four reuniting classes must combine for a total of $30,000. Right now we have about half that. So if you haven't yet given, please help us reach that goal. Again, the website is https://web.uwc-usa.org/forms/makeagift_online.htm. A few reminders on class gift:
Thanks for your support, all.

This event was highly recommended in last year's feedback form. Ideas suggested for this session included how pertinent the UWC ideals are years after graduation, whether grads still implement these ideals in their daily lives, the influence the UWC had on their lives, the current relevance of the mission statement - and any other philosophical aspects of UWC life that might seem relevant to you. We need alumni interested in facilitating this event in order to host this event!

A few reminders on class gift:
- You can pay in installments if you want to donate more than you can give in one lump sum.
- If you want your gift to go to something more specific than the options on the web page, email Beth Johnson (beth.johnson@uwc.net) and let her know where you would like to direct your money, i.e. music department, for scholarships for students from certain regions etc. If you are not comfortable with unrestricted giving, there are a multitude of other options.
- While percent participation is not the only thing that is important, it is very important. We have been down this road before...
Thanks for your support, all.
