Dear Fellow Class of ’79ers,

Please note: We are changing our email system. Instead of mail-merging to an email from a Word document, we have begun using the new TigerNet email functionality. However, in testing this we have learned of a small glitch involving Gmail. If you use Gmail, depending upon your settings, you may find our emails sequestered in a Category called Promotions and not readily visible in your primary email folder. You can adjust these settings by following the instructions at this link. Click on iPhone/iPad, Android or Computer to see instructions specific for your platform. We apologize for this, but have no control over it at our end. I am sending this email both ways. If you do not receive 2 copies, and you use Gmail, check your other Categories. (If you receive only this copy, then we may not have your email address in our old system; no problem.)

Reunions are this week !
Get out the Orange & Black.
June 1-4, 2017 - Class Lunch & P-rade Saturday June 3

We hope you will be joining us this year for our 38^th Reunion. See our great logo above. We wanted to give you some details of the weekend to maximize your enjoyment. So here’s the list: (Please note, registration is strongly encouraged for the lunch so we have enough food!)

• We are a satellite of the 40th Reunion / Class of 1977. Headquarters is in Dod/McCormick Courtyard (a nice central location!). Details.
• Registration is at Richardson Auditorium/Alexander Hall (NEW from last year) for all Off-Year / Satellite Reunions (40th & older) starting at Noon on Thursday, 1 June 2017. No charge for satellite registration. Details.
  
• Class of 1979 Lunch is in the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning (the old Dial Lodge building) at 11:30 AM on Saturday, 3 June 2017. We will head to the P-rade from there. RSVP here. Please RSVP ASAP as we need to know by Wednesday morning for the caterer count.
• The One and Only P-rade begins at 2:00 PM Saturday. The Class of 1979 assembles on Cannon Green.
• Lawn Concert and Fireworks on Campbell / Finney Fields starting at 8:00 PM Saturday. 
• The bands have not been posted yet, but our next email should have more details on entertainment. 

Please note that all events, including registration, are free. Food is not included (except the Saturday Class Lunch), so make your plans accordingly. (Some years the major reunion will allow satellite registrants to buy meal tickets, but this is not assured.)
