Building Dedication Reunion Set

10/10/2006

We’ve set the date! On October 26-28, 2007, we will dedicate the Stanford Lipsey Student Publications Building and mark the 75th anniversary of the building’s 1932 opening with a reunion of Daily, Ensian, and Gargoyle alumni.

We chose Oct. 26-28 for our reunion because it avoids all of the September holidays, it includes a home football game against Minnesota, AND we were able to reserve the Union ballroom for a banquet the night before the game.

Would you like to get in on the ground floor of planning? Will you be in Ann Arbor for Homecoming this October 28th? John Dobbertin, Gargoyle and Daily alumnus from the 1960s, suggests a reunion brainstorming session on Friday afternoon, October 27, and he invites everyone to then join a GargAlum dinner at the Wolverine Room, Michigan Union at 6:00 p.m. He is providing the champagne & Gargoyle Birthday Cake. Price per-person for the dinner is, in John’s words, “the bargain rate of $25.” He needs to provide the Union with a headcount by October 20th.

Contact Gayle Steiner at gayles@umich.edu with your availability to plan and to play this October 27th, as well as your interest in rolling up your sleeves over the coming months to manage/contribute ideas and time to one or more of the following:
- Updating alumni contact/professional information
- Creating an alumni directory and program for reunion activities
- Creating an event budget, including decisions on fees
- Selecting and recruiting speakers and panelists
- Creating invitations
- Marketing the event
- Collecting RSVPs
- Collecting reminiscences
- Determining take-aways/favors for attendees
- Packaging/selling advertising/sponsorships

Details will emerge as all of us together create them!
