Prior
to the 2004 35-year reunion, Denise
Kontras developed a generous and
thoughtful fund,
The Friendship Fund,
to enable some of our classmates who have
severe health challenges due to strokes,
multiple sclerosis, and other debilitating
illnesses to attend the reunion activities
at no charge to them.
Again
this year, we are helping eligible classmates
attend our 55-year reunion. Your donations
to this fund are greatly appreciated.
If you would like to be a beneficiary
of this Fund, or know someone who would,
please email
Denise Kontras.
|
We
are deeply appreciative to these classmates
who have made donations to the 2024 Friendship
Fund and the General Fund to
enable us to create a memorable reunion
experience for all our UA69ers! |

WEEK, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE 4TH OF JULY |

week |
Jim
Long's Home
4330 Mountview Road
Upper Arlington OH 43221
MAP
Because the 4th of July falls on Thursday,
we'll need classmates to work on the float
during the week preceding the 4th. This
means that it may need to be done by those
who live locally.
The
Class of 1969 has won the "Best Reunion
Float" award four times: 2004, 2009,
2014, and 2019. It'd be great if we could
also win an award for our 55-year reunion
float!
The
2024 UACA parade theme is UA/CA: Back
in Black and Gold, and the logo is
above.
Please
plan to come to Jim's house and help put
our float together, and then either ride
on it or walk alongside it during the
parade on Thursday, July 4.
Beer
and snacks to energize the UA69ers will
be provided!
Please
email
Gay Leeka with questions.
