Ok Rabble,
We’ve put this off for as long as we reasonably can, but with only six months to
go until our 40th reunion, it’s time for us to make commitments and lock in
services and facilities - - and that will require working capital - - hence this
solicitation for “earnest money”.
If you’re planning to attend our 40th, please make the appropriate remission
indicated below.
For each Member of the Class of 1968, Associate Member of the Class of 1968 and
Friend of the Class of 1968: $168.00
AND
For each family member or friend who will be attending: an additional
$68.00
Cute, eh? But appropriate and prudent. The mathematically derived number was
so close we couldn’t resist . . . and market volatility suggests the need to
build in a bit of buffer.
Using the worksheet below, please tally up the amount of “earnest money” due for
your party and send the appropriate payment as soon as possible, but NLT April
15th. You may use your major credit card at
https://secure.west-point.org/usma1968/reuniondeposit/ or you may send your
check, payable to the “West Point Fund” and annotated “Class of 1968 Admin
Fund”, to D. David Hostler, 98 Chestnut Hill Road, Ridgefield, CT 06877. IF you
choose to send a check, please include a note with the following information:
Your name, your guests' names and relationship to you, your snail mail address,
your home and cell phone numbers and your email address. Please don’t delay.
Details regarding the reunion, including sign-up opportunities for specific
reunion events (which will entail separate additional fees beyond the “earnest
money”) will be forthcoming over the following weeks and months as particulars
are decided and arrangements are concluded. Advance ordering opportunities for
reunion memorabilia will also be disseminated, and, of course, these purchases,
too, will entail separate payments.
To minimize overall costs, we plan to communicate regarding the reunion via
email, SO WHEN YOU RECEIVE EMAIL CONCERNING THE 40th REUNION, PLEASE DO NOT
DELETE BEFORE READING, and please respond when with dispatch - - when responses
are requested.
No Task Too Great!
The 40th Reunion Committee
