It\u2019s been 50 years since we were together on campus, in<br>classrooms, or on assignment somewhere in the Twin Cities.&nbsp;<br>Back then, most of us were trying to figure out who we were and what we were<br>going to do with our lives. Now, 50 years later, we have stories to tell, and time<br>to tell and hear them. And with luck, we\u2019ll have time for new adventures and<br>new or reconnected friends.<br>Maybe you have never attended a reunion before. Maybe you are still in contact<br>with your friends from college or maybe you\u2019ve lost track of those friends.<br>Maybe you don\u2019t think anyone will remember you or you won\u2019t remember<br>anyone at reunion. We are writing to tell you that&nbsp;you are remembered&nbsp;and<br>that&nbsp;you will remember so much&nbsp;when you return to campus.<br>At Macalester we were fortunate to have the time and space to try new things,<br>meet people with different ideas, and grow into our adult selves. We were<br>guided to use our brains to think about the world. We were taught how to<br>organize and how to stand up for ourselves and our beliefs. This is an<br>opportunity to celebrate how we built on those gifts and lessons, and think<br>about the next chapter.<br>This reunion promises to be very special, with a music theme that represents<br>our special time at Macalester: What\u2019s Going On? The Tapestry of Our<br>Lives.<br>Many classmates have volunteered to work on our reunion. We\u2019re already<br>having fun reconnecting and remembering our shared past. We want the<br>chance to reconnect with&nbsp;YOU!<br>There is more to do! Join the committee or help us reach out to classmates you<br>would like to see at reunion. Sometimes, all we need is an invitation from a<br>friend to join the party.<br>We look forward to seeing you on June 5\u20138, 2025!<br>Kind regards,<br>Kathy Angelos Pinkett and Cathy Polasky (yes, two K\/Cathy P.\u2019s)&nbsp;<br>50th reunion co-chairs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Class Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/reunion\/class-of-1973\/1975planningcommittee\/\">Meet your Planning Committee<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plannedgiving.macalester.edu\/?pageID=1004\">Learn about the Class Gift<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/reunion\/class-of-1974\/class-of-1975-volunteer-portal\/\">Volunteer Portal<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1_OAO3tFQu0tmnzb1DdjcjJdyAc1hbELB\/view?usp=sharing\">Presentation Recording: Estate Planning Tips with Kim Schaffer &#8217;75<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Connected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1975 Facebook Page<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.macalester.edu\/account\/login?r=https%3a%2f%2fengage.macalester.edu%2fportal%2fmacdirect\">MacConnect \u2013 your Alumni Directory<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to update your contact information with Macalester to ensure you receive important communications about the reunion.
