You're Invited! Yale Medal Dinner Nov. 14

UPDATED Oct. 21 (see new reservation details below): This year, the class of 1971 is honored by having not one, but two, Yale Medal recipients among our ranks: ROSLYN MILSTEIN MEYER and DON T. NAKANISHI. If you would like to join us in New Haven on Friday, November 14 to celebrate their many contributions to Yale, please contact Ann Griffith at AYA by phone (203 432-1940) or email ann.griffith@yale.edu

Friday evening’s events will consist of a cocktail party at Sterling Memorial Library at 6 p.m., followed by dinner in Commons at 7:00. The cost per person is $75.  Because of space considerations, the AYA may not be able to allow our class to reserve tables, so we have a plan which we hope will efficiently help us coordinate with each other to sit together:

IMPORTANT: After making your reservation through Ann Griffith, please send an email to our class coordinator Lupi Robinson at lupi.robinson@ghpmedia.com telling her that you (and your spouse/guest) will be coming to the dinner. Lupi will keep a master list of 1971 classmates who are attending. Then a few days before the event, Lupi will send all of the 1971 attendees an email with the list of classmates attending. That way people can look for each other at the dinner and it will be easier to know how many places at the table need to be saved etc.

In addition, we encourage those who plan to attend to get to Commons early to TRY to hold space for other ’71 members.

For those who would like to make a weekend of it, plan to stay for Saturday’s Yale/Princeton game. David and Leah Vogel will be coordinating a class tailgate before the game. Finally, we hope many can also join us on Sunday November 16 in New York City for the tribute to Bob Shapiro at the Yale Club.
