Message from Klotylda Hartshorn Phillippi '64 — Homecoming Chair
Dear Alma Alumni!
How long has it been since you've seen your Alma classmates? When was the last time you were at Homecoming? Our celebration of Alma will be held in September this year — a perfect time for putting Alma in the Spotlight. The campus will be welcoming with its end-of-summer beauty and gracious undergraduate hosts. It's a perfect time for renewing friendships and strolling around the grounds of the home we treasured in our youth. The traditions will take place — Pizza Sam night, the parade, the lunch on the lawn, the football game, the tailgate parties, the Greek open houses, the choir, and so much more. Some new traditions are also settling in — the gatherings at the Smith Alumni House and the Matt Reinke 5K run to name two.
The Alma College Alumni Board members have been working with the Alma Leadership Alliance students to plan special events for you and your family; however, we need your help. You many have attended Homecoming in previous years and been disappointed to find that friends you had hoped to see hadn't come to campus. Don't leave your Homecoming reunions to chance. Register on line so that your friends can see that you'll be there and call folks to invite them to join you. Bring your family and loads of photos to share. Put YOUR Alma years in the spotlight. Don't let more years go by without making the effort to keep those important friendships alive.
I hope that you and your classmates plan to meet up in Alma on September 26, 27 and 28.
Sincerely,
