Dear Classmates, 

Well, our 15th Reunion has come and gone, and if you couldn't make it, you missed a great time. Despite the less-than-ideal weather (torrential rain all day on Saturday!), we had 47 classmates who made it back to Saratoga Springs . The campus is in the midst of several exciting construction projects that include a complete renovation of the dining halls and the nearly completed Northwoods Village residential complex. If you haven't been up north in a while, it's worth the trip to see what's happening both at Skidmore and in Saratoga; in many cases, you may not recognize them!

One of the highlights of the weekend was the class dinner Saturday night at a beautifully updated Falstaff's. The event was catered by Longfellow's, and judging from the volume in the room, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Another highlight was the Alumni Awards and Recognition Ceremony where we honored out own Class President, Justin Model, with an Outstanding Service Award for his years of volunteer efforts for our alma mater. He has been a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors, Class President, Alumni Admissions Contact, Class Agent, club volunteer for the NYC Regional Club, and Reunion Chair for the 10 th and 15 th Reunion . He has served our class and the College well, and we owe him a big THANK YOU for all his efforts on behalf of both Skidmore and 1991. Congratulations, Justin!

We'd also like to thank all of the classmates who made a gift to Skidmore this year. We broke our class giving record by raising $37,930 for our 15 th Reunion gift! Reunion Weekend showcased the incredible institution that Skidmore is today, and it takes the support of many, many alums to keep Skidmore's future bright. We extend our sincerest gratitude to every single donor who participated in our College's Annual Fund effort this year. Thank you to the 132 of our classmates who stepped up to the plate and made a gift, and all of their names are included on the list accompanying this letter.

  We wish each and every one of you a lovely summer. Take care and make sure not to miss the 20th!

Sincerely,
