GREETINGS FROM ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

DAVID KILL ’60

I am writing this message on the day of our “epic” snowstorm in February so it is very hard to think about hot weather in July for our annual Reunion. But it is only a few months away on July 14, 2023.

Details and registration information are in this newsletter. After last year’s very successful Reunion, it may be hard to have a repeat turn-out; however, we have found that visiting with fellow classmates seems to be a very high priority with all of us. Therefore, the entire afternoon will be set aside for visiting and sharing all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren stories as well as the memories from our days on campus.

Another topic of discussion during the reunion will be the WCSA Legacy Memorial at the WCROC Horticulture Garden. We are in the fundraising stage, so every dollar that comes in for this project will make the groundbreaking date that much sooner. Please consider sending in a check for this fund. Board members will be most appreciative to receive your contribution toward this WCSA Legacy Memorial. You can contact me with any questions.

Also, we intend to recognize our UMM scholarship recipients. Having them present will be our goal this summer.

As always, the WCSA Board is always looking for new members to be part of the planning and decision making efforts of the board. If you have questions or are interested in being a board member, please give me a call.

I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the WCSA All-School Reunion on Friday, July 14. Be sure to send in your registration early to get the “early-bird” price on the wonderful event we are planning for you.

Thanks,

David Kill ’60, president
