Welcome Dear Classmates of 1977!
This site connects us to our alma mater and to our mission towards destination, 50th Reunion! Our 45th Reunion in 2022 was a great success--even in the shadows of COVID-19. Our 50th Reunion will be even better with everyone's participation. After all, WE ARE GOLDEN GIRLS! Please consider these goals for our class:
-
Stay connected and help our Class Reunion Planning Committee find and return sisters who are out of contact with our class and Spelman. We are Stronger Together!
-
“Every Woman Every Year!” – Participate now as a donor and encourage classmates to give to Spelman at least yearly, but ESPECIALLY this year--our Golden Reunion year.
-
Set a conscientious amount for your giving – Determine the total amount with which you are comfortable and consider dividing it into recurring monthly amounts. Can you make a gift of $1000 or $1200 this Golden Reunion year?
-
Familiarize yourself with age-appropriate options for planned giving, e.g., setting aside a portion of your life insurance or your 401K plan and/or consider donating a portion or all of your 401K Required Mandatory Distribution (RMD) to Spelman.
Adopting the above recommendations early and intentionally will place our class where we need and want to be and strengthen support for Spelman sisters coming after us. Let’s do this!
Sisterly prayers and blessings,
Spelman C’77 50th Reunion Planning Committee
