Bar Area |
Classes of 1989, 1991 & 2001
Since the bar is the area where most alumni shared experiences and learned about each other's
cultures during their stay at the Bologna Center, it was one of the most requested naming opportunities
of the Building Campaign.
Several classes—notably 1989, 1991 and 2001—on the occasion of their anniversaries have
chosen that area to showcase their class effort.
Class of 1989
With the aim of encouraging each and every one of their classmates to give, in
the true spirit of the class initiative, the class leaders have decided to raise
$89,000—a meaningful number for the Class of 1989—and contribute to the
Bologna Center building campaign on the occasion of their 20th reunion.
"We set a goal to raise $89,000 by April 1, 2011 (we thought this number
might make sense for the Bologna Center Class of 89) which will be used to
help re-name a part of the new Bologna Center. […] Realistically, we realize that
each one of us has different circumstances, but wouldn't it be great if we had
100 percent class participation in this effort? 100 percent participation means
that each of us gives what he or she can based on our individual circumstances. We really
think this is do-able, reasonable and beneficial to our school, and will be a wonderful legacy.
So please donate what you can," say Ajay and Daniela Kaisth.
Class of 1991
To commemorate the one year anniversary of Timothy Allen Rhodes' death, Jennifer
Reingold, Jim Upton and Kate Seekings have decided to launch an honorable
initiative on the occasion of their 20th class reunion: contributing to the Bologna
Center Building Campaign through a class gift in memory of Tim.
They have chosen their twenty-year reunion as the right occasion to give
back to the school and established a $20,000 goal.
"Tim was a wonderful friend to so many of you and an indelible influence on the class, always
ready with a wisecrack or hilarious and trenchant sendup of something or someone. We are hoping
to raise $20,000 in Tim's name, and to contribute it to the building fund to support the Bologna
Center's infrastructure," says Jennifer Reingold.
Class of 2001
On the occasion of their 10th anniversary, the Bologna Class of 2001 decided
to celebrate this special reunion by contributing to the Bologna Center Building
Campaign. What better way to mark this important milestone than by
committing themselves to a $40,000 Class Anniversary Gift that supports
one of the most challenging projects ever undertaken by the Center.
"As part of an ambitious construction and renovation project at the Bologna
Center, our class is in a unique position to give back to the Center and
to ensure future students can learn from each other in the intimate environment
of a renovated bar area. We hope that you will choose this ten-year
reunion as the right occasion to give back to the school, and join us in making a sizable contribution
towards our class goal of $40,000.
Please take a moment to think about our legacy to the Center and make a commitment
through one of the links provided below. Our collective contribution will be showcased at the
Alumni Reunion Weekend with a commemorative Class of 2001 plaque in one of our favorite
corners of the Bologna Center—the bar area!" say Dave Schacht, Melody Woolford, Eric Sundström,
Tom Ro and Verena Ringler. |
