Attention: New Video here...
Homecoming website and schedule: The Gallaudet University Homecoming website is https://gallaudet.edu/homecoming/. The full schedule is posted there, including our class events. Reunion registration: As of today, 77 class members and 30 guests have registered for our golden anniversary reunion, October 14-18. Registration deadline fast approaching! If you have not yet registered, please do so as soon as possible. The deadline is tomorrow, September 4 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Late registration: From September 5-11, you can still register, but with an additional $60 fee. The ABSOLUTE deadline is September 11 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. “Lost” classmates: A few of our classmates have old email addresses, or no email address at all, on file with the Office of Alumni Relations. We want to be sure we reach everyone. Please check with each other so we can reach as many classmates as possible. Address changes and updates can be made at https://gallaudet.edu/alumni-relations/stay-in-touch/ Male roommate needed: As of today, one male class member is looking for a roommate for his room at the Kellogg Conference Hotel. If you plan to come and need a roommate, email Dennise Scott at asl5lady@gmail.com and Suzy Wallace at isuzyw@gmail.com, or text me (Bob) at 301-642-0338. Guests: Several classmates have asked if their spouses, significant others, or guests can pay for some, but not all, of the reunion events. We are sorry, but this is not an option. Class members pay $240; guests pay $270. (The difference is because guests pay $30 for the Golden Anniversary Luncheon on Friday, October 16.) Optional items: You may purchase one or more vests at $60 each, and one or more memory books at $25 each.< p> Kellogg Conference Hotel room rates: The Kellogg Conference Hotel is sold out! Two nearby options are the Hotel Nell – Union Market and the Courtyard by Marriott Washington, D.C.-U.S. Capitol. Both offer discounts for reunion attendees. Be sure to ask when you make your reservation. There are also many Airbnb, VRBO, etc. in the area. Can I come early or leave late? Some people may want to come early or leave late to visit family or friends, sightsee, etc. That is absolutely fine. Just put in your desired check-in or check-out dates. Parking, $40 per day?!? Whatttt? The Kellogg Conference Hotel website says that on-campus parking is $40 per day. IGNORE THIS. Parking is absolutely free. If, upon arrival, the hotel front desk staff tries to tell you otherwise, let us know, and we will intervene. What meals are included? Beethoven’s Nightmare, TRUE-BUSINESS? Yes! Ed and Steve, along with Micaela Paulone, will be the featured performers at the Alumni Bash for all Homecoming guests on Friday evening, October 16, then they will perform for us at our class banquet on Saturday evening, October 17. This will be their grand finale! Let’s give them a great send-off after more than 50 years as the premier Deaf rock band in the world. Questions, comments? Email co-chairs Dennise Scott at asl5lady@gmail.com and Suzy Wallace at isuzyw@gmail.com, or text me (Bob) at 301-642-0338. |
