With our new Class Board in place, a new Class of ’79 Gift Selection Committee has been convened. This committee and the Gift Fundraising Committee are open to any classmate interested in serving on them, will operate per Class Board direction to finalize gift selections, and will conduct giving campaigns to meet class goals. There are two aspects to our class giving strategy – a Class Gift, which may consist of one or more "Focus" gifts, as well as giving by class members to the Academy for other purposes. Our intent is to leverage the work done to date, which has been to identify and qualify five Focus gift ideas. While we strongly recommend that every class member make an effort to give back something to the Academy, the intent of the Gift Selection Committee is to finalize a selection of one or more specific Focus gifts as a "unified gift" from our Class to West Point.
