Wellesley College Class of 2009

Question from your treasurer!

wellesley2009 — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:36:45 +0000

Would you rather have class funds go towards supporting mini-reunions and have to spend more out-of-pocket to attend our 5 year reunion, or would you rather save up for a bigger 5 year reunion that is cheaper for everyone to attend?

Question from your treasurer!

Ah, forgot to post on the blog, but also feel free to respond on the Facebook page!

Question of the month: I have been speaking with the College to see if we can set up something where a portion of Class Lifetime Dues or College Giving can go towards the Library so that alums can receive a year of free access to the library e-databases (I really miss having access to JSTOR and EconLit, don’t you?) What do you guys think?

Reconnection Saturday!!

I am making this post from a friend’s computer (thank you Rachel!), and you would not believe how difficult it was to get to this blog. The things I do for you, Wellesley ’09.

This month’s reconnection Saturday is all about Community. That’s right, with a capital ‘C.’ No need to panic! There were plenty of awesome things that happened on Community, so this month, reach out to someone who backed up a point you made on the infamous forum, or made a hilarious post you still remember, or who had the best spam you’d ever seen… someone who posted something memorable (and positive!) on Community.

Reconnection Saturday, October 2011

wellesley2009 — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:40:19 +0000

I thought about doing the inevitable Halloween-themed reconnection prompt this month, but it’s been so warm here in New England lately, that I am dubious as to whether it’s actually fall. (Don’t worry, I’m sure to do an inevitable Halloween-themed prompt eventually. Maybe in February.)

I freely admit to dressing like a scrub: sweatshirts, jeans, sneakers. Every day. However, a lot of our fellow ’09 alums have unique, admirable, and/or daring senses of fashion. For this month, contact the person whose sense of style you remember best. Fashion icon or fashion disaster, if this person immediately springs to mind when you’re thinking about clothes–reach out! Get some style tips, or (in the case of folks like me) offer some!

Reconnection Saturday, September 2011

wellesley2009 — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 14:17:40 +0000

Ah, fall. The time of year when a young person’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of: “Why did I complain about being bored all summer? I hate school!”

Although it’s technically not fall yet, this month’s Reconnection Saturday asks you to try and capture that sense of new beginnings and impending doom that descends upon students each September. And what was more dreadful than realizing you were going to be eating Wellesley’s food for the next nine months? So, this month reach out to that person you had a memorable conversation with in the dining hall. You know the conversation I’m talking about. The one that you got teased about later, or the one that made you laugh so hard cranberry juice came out your nose. That one. Because amid the gloom of starting school, there was always the bright spot of good friends.

’09 Summer Raffle

wellesley2009 — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:42:40 +0000

Dear Classmates,

This is a reminder that today is your last opportunity to enter the ’09 summer raffle. Anyone who becomes a lifetime member by the sixth year anniversary of our first-year orientation will have a chance to win a Kindle 3-G (or gift card of equal value)!

Lifetime membership is $120 and tax deductible. Class dues go toward a variety of things: mailings, class reunions, and the class record book. Once you pay lifetime dues, you don’t have to pay again. You don’t even have to pay the difference when the price of lifetime membership increases in the future, since your current lifetime dues will be invested and will generate funds for our class.

I hope you all decide to support our class! And I hope one of you wins the raffle. In fact, I guarantee that one of you will win!

Please note that lifetime membership and annual dues will increase by $30 after August 29th, 2011.

Cheers,
Esther, ’09 Treasurer

Reconnection Saturday, August 2011

wellesley2009 — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 20:08:03 +0000

So, we all remember the required classes Wellesley made us take. Ah, liberal arts education! For this Reconnection Saturday, reach out to someone from your LEAST FAVORITE required class who made the whole experience worthwhile. (Not that the learning didn’t make it worthwhile, but, um, that is…. Oh look, a bunny!)
