Classmates,

Fund raising is off to a good start, but we have a long way to go to get to $1 Million.  The momentum from the reunion has generated $63,741 in gifts and pledges.  Unfortunately this leaves us well short by over $800 K.  and we are also well short of our 80% participation rate goal. 

ImageYou have one week left to make a pledge of $1,000 or more which will qualify you for a chance to win a beautiful USMA crest stained glass window.  While my wife is happy with our increased chances of winning, I would love to have some competition.

Please visit the class website to download a pledge form.

Our Country We Strengthen,

Jim Glackin
USMA '87

Classmates-

Please see the note below which summarizes a very successful program that the Class of 1968 is running to get donations to their class gift fund.  Classmates basically pledge a gift to become a "virtual marcher." The cost to participate in the Grad Marchback is about $120; not sure if they have a minimum donation to be a virtual marcher.

While the memory of a spectacular reunion, capped off by a great come from behind win, is still fresh in your mind, please consider making a commitment  to the $1 million gift the class will present at our 25th reunion.  I have two goals for this gift: 1) reach the $1 million mark well before the reunion,  and 2) achieve a class participation rate of 80% or higher in order to truly call this a class gift. Everyone’s participation is paramount.

ImageI managed to make it to the class cocktail party on Thurs. night and it was great to see everyone. I wish I could have attended more of the reunion events, but decided not to since I was 9 months pregnant.

Scott and I are thrilled to announce the birth of Connor William Dahnke. He was born Oct. 8 at 3:15am, measured 20 1/2 inches and weighed 7lbs 10oz. Bryce, Ryan and Cailtyn are excited to have a baby brother.
