GORDON ALUMNI CONNECTION Summer/Fall 2010 - The Gordon ...

Dear Gordon Friends,
As you think about the wonderful gifts that Gordon has given to you,
remember that you can return the favor by giving back to Gordon.
There is a lot you can do to support your school. Most importantly,
you can give your time. I have come back to Gordon many times to
share my experiences with students. It is the least I can do for a school
that has done so much for me.
Crystal Spence ’02 shared these words with the graduating eighth grade
in June. Her remarks seem so relevant now as we approach the culmination
of our one hundredth year with Gordon School’s Centennial
Weekend, October 8 th -10 th .
The weekend is guaranteed to be full of reconnections and fun for all
ages with a college reunion, a family festival and the Celebration of the
Century event that includes dinner and dancing.
We hope you will see your attendance on this special occasion as a
gift that celebrates the friendships, teachers and lifelong lessons that
made your time at Gordon so special. Visit gordonschool.org/centennial
to register, find accommodations and see who else is coming.
We are also pleased to share that the 2009-2010 Annual Fund ended
with great results. We raised a total of $340,227 with gifts from 713
donors. Over 13% of our alumni community participated. We truly
appreciate your generosity.
As always, we are enormously grateful for your continued loyalty to
Gordon School. Please come back this October and celebrate one
hundred years of the extraordinary connection that continues to exist
between Gordon’s faculty, students, alumni and families.
Sincerely,
Siobhan Sheerar Welsh
Associate Development Director
