Countdown to our 35th Cornell Reunion 

Mark your calendars and plan to attend our 35th Reunion June 5-8, 2014. Brad and Mary (Maxon) Grainger are making plans for reunion festivities in Ithaca and all of the class leaders are focused on celebrating this milestone through efforts with affinity groups, regional events, fundraising, membership, communications, etc.
Brad and Mary ask you to consider volunteering at your Reunion. For many, the fondest part of past Reunions has been their volunteering stints. Key volunteer openings will be communicated as planning moves ahead. Please inform Brad and Mary of your willingness, even if it is a tentative yes, to be a 35th Reunion insider.
Do you have an idea for our reunion planning? Do you want to become a 35th Reunion insider? Send a message to Cornell1979Reunion@gmail.com or call the Graingers at 607-257-3268.
