Happy New Year!

It's been a while since we've connected virtually, but it's time to do what we need to do!

First, we have implemented what we believe to be a practical and stress-free plan to raise money for our 2015 class gift. As mentioned in class treasurer Chuck Dortch's letter last November, we're asking that each classmate donate $25 a month, or whatever you can afford to give, over the next three years. Our goal is to raise at least $125,000 by the time we return in 2015 through our donations and corporate matches--if those still exist!

Judge Dortch has set up a special account for these donations and we need you to start sending those checks by 15jan. Please make your checks out to HU Class of 1980 Reunion 2015 and mail them to Chuck at:
15 Silver Hill Lane
Vorhees, NJ 08043

Secondly, it's not about competing with other classes to raise the most money. This is about the kids. Every little bit helps some deserving student find his or her way to our home by the sea. Some of you might have benefitted from alumni giving back in the day. It's time to pay and pray it forward. Also, if we don't have to spend time collecting money during our reunion weekend, we can spend more time enjoying each other.

Lastly, if anyone--particularly you accounting and business majors--would like to serve with Chuck on the fundraising committee, please reach out to him directly at Charles. Dortch@comcast.net. You can also reach him by phone, 856-889-3638.
We can do this! On behalf of the Reunion 2015 Committee, thank you and God bless.
