| What is this "Make a Donation" tab? The reunion committee thought it would be a great idea to present the high school with a gift from the Class fo '78 in commemoration of our 30th reunion. Donations would help cover extra costs for the weekend activites, and any excess monies would go toward a gift to the school. 1. Make a general contribution of any amount; 2. Underwrite a specific portion of the reunion. Some ideas would be:
Our treasurer, Lynne Price Montesanto, has set up a bank account, and we currently have $450 balance toward defraying reunion costs. If you would like to be a sponsor, an underwriter, make a donation.... you have two options: 1. Send a check to: Lynne Montesanto 3 Smith Farm Trail Road Lynnfield, MA 01940 or 2. Simply click on the donate button and you will be led to PayPal. You will have to set-up an account if you do not already have one. As we fine-tune the pricing, the costs of underwriting specific items will be posted here. You can choose to remain anonymous, or get full credit. This is an excellent business idea as well -we will gladly put up a sign or banner (supplied by the business) on the lunch tent, or at the party. Something to consider....thanks! I want to thank Julie and Lance Choos for enthusiastically agreeing to donate the balloon decorations for Sat. night's bash! |
