Message from Class President Jim Staros:
As you have heard, President Hanlon and the Board of Trustees have decided on an in-person fall 2021 term at Dartmouth, and we are delighted that it includes an in-person Homecoming. Homecoming Co-Chairs Norman Jacobs and Dona Heller have developed a great schedule of events for the weekend, and I look forward to seeing you there.
I want to highlight two special events on the schedule:
- First, the (re)dedication of the DOC House will occur during the cocktail hour preceding our Saturday night dinner at the renovated DOC House. So, get your reservations to Norman as soon as you can.
- Second, while we always have a Class Meeting during Homecoming weekend, we have a piece of serious business to conduct at this one. During the same period that the renovation and updating of the DOC House has been carried out, funded by our 50th Reunion Class Gift, your Executive Committee has been hard at work updating our Class Constitution. Both the current version of our constitution and the proposed updated constitution, which is recommended by the Executive Committee for adoption by the class, can be found on the class website here. We will have time for discussion at the Class Meeting, but I would be happy to answer questions about the proposed changes in advance; just email me at james.v.staros@gmail.com . We need a good turnout for this vote.
This will be a great opportunity to celebrate in-person with your classmates. I hope to see you there!
