Jene 14 | Rochdale | 90th Reunion | T-Minus 8 Weeks

We're 8 weeks away from the 90th Reunion. We're currently at 178 alumni and 108 guests registered - 284 attendees! It’s been a great response.

If you lose this email, everything you need to know is on www.rochdalealumni.org. I'll continue posting updates there.

1. Help Needed

We could still use a few more volunteers. Many hands make light work! Email me if you can help.

• Legion Setup - Help set up Saturday morning (thanks John Young, Karl, and JoAnn Gordon!) 
• Legion Teardown - Help pack up Saturday evening (thanks Walden Thompkins!) 
• Photographers - Capture candid photos throughout the day and help upload them afterward.      
• Activity Leads - We're still looking for volunteers to coordinate Harry's Chocolate Shop, Friday Dinner, Campus Tour, and Sunday Breakfast/Lunch.

2. Rochdale Store

Get your Rochdale gear at https://store.rochdalealumni.org! Gary Edmondson (PC '74) has launched the Rochdale Alumni Store featuring hats, shirts, mugs, and more. Reunion attendees will receive a commemorative 90th Reunion coffee mug and beer koozie as part of their registration. 

3. Weekend Schedule

The latest schedule is available at www.rochdalealumni.org. The main event is the 90th Reunion on Saturday from 2:00–11:00 p.m. at the American Legion. Optional activities are planned throughout the weekend for those making a weekend of it. Let me know if you'd like to organize something else!

4. Golf RSVP

Contact Tom Campbell by June 30 to reserve your spot for Friday's outing at Kampen Course. Thanks Tom, Stu and Ryan for organizing!

5. Hotel Updates

We've added more rooms to our blocks at the Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn on Wabash Landing. The Rochdale rate has been extended to Thursday, August 6. If you're arriving Thursday, call the hotel directly rather than booking online. Hotel information is available at www.rochdalealumni.org.

6. Composites & Memorabilia

Thanks to Matt Crawford (PC '82) and Amy for preserving Rochdale's trophies, plaques, and 33 composites for nearly 30 years. We'll display and digitize them during the reunion before offering them in a silent auction. Photos of the trophies and plaques will be posted soon. In the meantime, you can preview the composites on Facebook or at www.rochdalealumni.org/composites.

7. Share Your Photos

We're still collecting photos for the reunion slideshow and online photo archive. Email them to me or upload them at https://fileinbox.com/rochdale. Matt will also be bringing the original Rochdale photo albums for everyone to browse

8. House Stories & Speakers

We need your memories, catch phrases, unforgettable moments. We'd love to incorporate these into displays or the reunion program. Know someone who tells a great Rochdale story? Recommend them - volunteer yourself.

9. Accessibility Needs

If you'll need accessible parking or other accommodations, please let me know. Maps and directions are available on the Rochdale website.
