Reunion 2007
Meals
The class hosts two dinners during reunion weekend, Friday night (New England Lobster) and Saturday night (Filet Mignon). Both meals are open to families and we welcome you to include your significant other and children. President Christ will make an appearance at our dinner on Friday and Saturday’s cocktail hour will include a brief lecture about wine. We would love to have all of our classmates participate in these spectacular evening events!
Housing
Our class will be occupying Tyler, Morris, Lawrence, Hubbard and Washburn! Your housing reservation will include one twin bed for Thursday, Friday AND Saturday night. Therefore, if you are including a significant other or friend in your reunion experience you will need to make an additional reservation. Your children are welcome to stay in your room with you, however, you will need to provide the pack-n-play. Please see page 18 of your reunion brochure for complete details.
Child Care
If you have children age 3 and older, the college has contracted with Children’s Conference Care to provide child care services. Please see page 16 of your reunion brochure for details and registration information. Register early to ensure that you get a Mommy’s Night Out! The class is working on arrangements for child care for those age 3 and under. More information will be provided. Page 17 of your reunion brochure details several activities you can do with your children in the Smith area.
What to Wear
You will need your all white Ivy Day outfit and white shoes. Remember, New England weather is unpredictable, so pack for all eventualities.
