Fall 2019
Dear Classmates:
I hope this letter finds you well and that you had a good summer season. The students are back at Luther and classes, football, and other activities are in full swing in the always beautiful Oneota Valley. The fall colors are out in full force, and on the first weekend of October, the campus was full of alumni who came back for Homecoming.
As most, if not all of you are aware, our class celebrated an important milestone with our 25-year Class Reunion October 4-6. The reunion committee worked hard to ensure a memorable weekend for everyone attending. There was a plethora of events including a Friday night gathering for our class at T-Bocks and a parade watch party Saturday morning. The reunion dinner and party was on Saturday evening, October 5, at the Oneota Golf and Country Club. The most important component was the opportunity to reconnect with our classmates and it was a great gathering. Be sure to watch for pictures on the Luther College Class of 1994 Facebook page!
As was also outlined in the reunion letter, we have established a Class of 1994 Endowed Scholarship. To that end, I encourage each of you to consider a contribution to the same. I, (as many of you also I am sure) benefited from the generosity of others and received funds from various scholarships while at Luther which assisted with tuition. We as a class have an opportunity to assist future Luther students with the same generosity. Please consider a gift to Luther in honor of our 25-year reunion and designate it to the Class of 1994 Scholarship. You may also pledge for up to a five year period and the same will be included in the total for the 25-year reunion campaign.
Finally, Kristin and I will be stepping down as class agents. We have served in the capacity for ten years and it has been a rewarding experience. It has been a pleasure serving with Kristin and we are hopeful another classmate or classmates will be able to pick up where we left off.
It was great to see so many of you in October.
Go Norse!
