As the president and as an alumna

of Gettysburg College, I want to

thank you for your assistance as a

reunion volunteer, and for working

to create a memorable reunion

experience for your classmates.

The time you give will make this

gathering special and—as I know from

my own involvement—will help make

your reunion a rewarding experience

for you personally. In fact, throughout

this process, it’s likely that you will

strengthen some of your long-term relationships and develop

some new ones!

The success of Reunion Weekend would be impossible without

dedicated alumni like you. As you work to help your classmates

celebrate their time as Gettysburg College students, you are also

helping them maintain and enrich their connection to our alma

mater. The strength of that connection is of great importance to our

success as a College. Our alumni carry this Gettysburg pride into

their communities and workplaces, offer career-related experiences

to our students, and provide much-needed financial support.

On behalf of your classmates and the Gettysburg College

community, thank you for the time and energy you are giving as

a reunion committee member. And please join me in supporting

our alma mater to ensure that a Gettysburg College education is

forever great.

Sincerely,

Janet Morgan Riggs ’77

President

Reunion Volunteer Guide

REUNION WEEKEND PLANNING

Your class reunion is approaching! It will be a part of the May 30 – June 2, 2019 Alumni College and Reunion Weekend.

This handbook is designed to help you celebrate your reunion. It is a guide. Feel free to add your class’s creativity, energy, and excitement to the planning of this event.

The most important thing: HAVE FUN, as you and your classmates prepare to “waken fond memory” of Gettysburg College.

If you have any questions while planning your reunion, remember that the members of the Development, Alumni and Parent Relations staff are only a phone call or an email away! (See next page for contact info.)

Ingredients of a Good Reunion

People: There is no doubt about it: a primary reason people attend their reunion is to see other people. You’ll see friends and also have the opportunity to renew acquaintances with classmates with whom you’ve lost touch. There is no substitute for personal contact—contacting fellow classmates by phone, email, Facebook, or

mail—to encourage reunion attendance. We’ve found that the more people a class has back on campus, the more successful the reunion.

Program: A reunion program gives classmates the opportunity to become re-engaged with the College and one another.

Participation: There are two measures of participation: attendees and gifts.

How many people from your class can you encourage to attend your reunion? What percentage of your class will make a gift to Gettysburg College?

Gettysburg encourages alumni to increase their annual and planned giving during their reunion year. During the weekend, the College will celebrate each class’s fundraising successes, including announcing totals for Annual Giving (Gettysburg Fund and Orange & Blue Club); participation during the June 1 - May 31 fiscal year; and all gifts and commitments received since their last reunion.

Before you begin the planning process, the Division of Development, Alumni and Parent Relations would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for your efforts. By serving on your reunion committee, you have demonstrated your enthusiasm and dedication to the College and your class. Reunion Weekend would not be possible without the hard work of volunteers like you!

Reunion Volunteer Guide

REUNION COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION

The reunion committee is actively engaged in the reunion planning process. The committee is responsible for encouraging attendance at Alumni Weekend and for personalizing the weekend to make it an enjoyable experience for your classmates.

Committees

The reunion committee chair(s) should appoint a person or subcommittee responsible for the following projects. Using the committee system helps lessen the demands on the chair.

• Outreach and Publicity This subcommittee is in charge of spreading the word about the reunion and getting classmates excited about coming back. The key to a successful reunion is early and frequent contact. Tap into existing affiliations (athletics, musical groups, Greek organizations, etc.) to encourage attendance.

Mail: Work with Alumni Office to send mailings to classmates.

Email: Work with the Alumni Office to send email updates to classmates.

Facebook Page: Update and monitor the class Facebook page, if applicable. There also may be time-sensitive content that the College provides to be posted.

• Social (Friday Night) Menu and Location: For on-campus socials, the College’s catering will provide different menu options at varying prices. Committees should work with off-campus locations directly to coordinate event details, with assistance from the Alumni Office.

Memorabilia: Do you have class pictures, slides, or other memorabilia that you want to display at the social?

Materials/Equipment Needs: Be sure to communicate to the Alumni Office what items you will need that night (audio/visual, etc.).

• Event (Saturday Night) Menu and Location: All classes are encouraged to eat on campus. We will try to accommodate preferences for on-campus dinner locations, but final decisions will be made based on number of attendees closer to the event date. Alternative, off-campus arrangements can be made with assistance from the Alumni Office.

Program: This should be short, upbeat, and class-specific, perhaps a class slideshow, entertainer, or favorite faculty member. Don’t forget a gift for the speaker if you have one. Also consider what your dress code will be so that classmates know what to wear.

Volunteer Coordination: On the night of the dinner, you may need to have greeters, emcee(s), and someone to offer an invocation.

Memorabilia: Do you have class pictures, slides, or other memorabilia that you want to display at the dinner? The Alumni Office will provide posters with photos of deceased classmates for each class if requested.

Materials/Equipment Needs: Be sure to communicate to the Alumni Office what items you will need that night (audio/visual, etc.).

• Special Events (Optional) Other Activities: Do you want to have a special theme for your reunion? Does your class want to arrange some special event on Saturday afternoon, such as a campus walk or tour?

Souvenirs (Optional) These can add to the cost of your reunion, but they can be good class identification symbols and mementos. These can be distributed at the registration desk or at dinner.

HOUSING

There Are Two Basic Options:

Off-campus motel or hotel: Lists of off-campus accommodations can be viewed at www.gettysburg.edu/reunion; it is the responsibility of each alumnus/a to make his or her own arrangements. Hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts range from about $80 to $300/night. Campus Housing: Staying in the residence halls can be fun, but it is NOT luxurious, and alumni who choose to stay on campus have to be willing to “rough it” a bit. Linens, blankets, washcloths, SMALL towels, cups, and soap are provided but not replenished throughout the weekend. Alumni should bring personal care items such as bathrobes, slippers, hangers, and additional towels, pillows, blankets, fitted sheets, and bedding, if needed. All beds are twins. All rooms are air-conditioned and most have kitchenettes and shared living/lounging space.

The Alumni Office will assign on-campus housing. Alumni make reservations on their Reunion Registration Form. This form is mailed to all alumni in the spring and is also available online at that time. If alumni do not state specific roommate requests, they may be assigned roommates. Roommate requests will be honored only if both parties request each other.

The number of reservations per class will determine the dorm to which a class is assigned, and consequently, housing assignments are not made until the week before Reunion Weekend. Every effort will be made to house classes together.

Approximate Cost:

$50/person/night $185/family of 4 or more/night

GIFT PLANNING

Your reunion is a milestone and a time for reflection and celebration. A tradition synonymous with reunion is celebrating the fundraising efforts of the class. As part of your class’s reunion planning, the Office of Annual Giving will help the committee establish a fundraising dollar goal for the Gettysburg Fund and Orange & Blue Club, along with a class giving participation goal. The reunion fundraising goals along with overall giving and commitments to all areas of the College are announced at Reunion Weekend during the Presidential Remarks and Alumni Awards Ceremony and at your class dinner.

ABOUT THE GETTYSBURG FUND

Fiscal year begins June 1st and ends May 31st every year!

What is the Gettysburg Fund? It is the heart of fundraising for Gettysburg College and an important component in the College’s budget. Motivated by loyalty, spirit, and belief in the College’s work and leadership, alumni, parents, and friends provide the operating support—much-needed, essential funds—for some of Gettysburg’s most critical needs. These funds have immediate impact on the quality of the College and are used in every area, allowing Gettysburg to do things like:

• Continue our commitment to financial aid to meet student needs;

• Attract and maintain world-class faculty in each department;

• Equip classrooms and laboratories with the tools and supplies needed for instruction;

• Keep Musselman Library up-to-date with acquisitions to support teaching and learning;

• Allow us to invite guest lecturers and visiting scholars and to pursue special academic programs and seminars;

• Support student-faculty collaborations on research and creative projects;

• Provide professional development for faculty and staff, and opportunities for students to attend professional and scholarly conferences;

• Support student services for career placement, health and wellness, and leadership development;

• Keep our facilities and grounds operating and well-maintained, and meet the other essential needs that make the Gettysburg Experience possible.

ORANGE & BLUE CLUB

For more than three decades, the Orange & Blue (O&B) Club has provided annual support to Gettysburg College athletics, ensuring that the Bullets have the resources needed to remain a leader among NCAA Division III programs. This financial support is critical. Student-athletes and coaches could not achieve this high level of success without the combination of College and donor resources. Whether for scoreboards, fields, uniforms, equipment, state-of-the-art technologies, or cutting-edge training methods, the dollars raised through the O&B Club impact every part of the athletic program at Gettysburg.

Your support of the O&B Club—this year and every year—provides for the student-athletes, coaches, trainers, and staff. Giving to the O&B Club strengthens a community that values academic excellence, athletic spirit, and rich tradition.

Reunion Volunteer Guide

LEADERSHIP GIVING: THE CUPOLA SOCIETY

We recognize that every gift is an important commitment and investment by the donor.

Those donors who make annual gifts of $2,500 or above are welcomed into the Cupola Society. Through their leadership giving and enthusiastic commitment to Gettysburg, this generous group sets an example, inspires others, and makes a significant impact on the College. Cupola Society members have opportunities to develop closer relationships with the President, College leaders, and the Board of Trustees, in addition to taking part in special programs and events. Their gifts and their knowledge of the institution help to advance the College’s mission.

Young alumni are invited to join the inner circle of Gettysburg College supporters as Cupola Society Associates. Members of this elite group of donors contribute annual gifts of at least $100 for each year since graduation through their 10 year reunion. Therafter, Cupola Society Associates are invited to join as full members of the Cupola Society.

CONSISTENT GIVING: THE LOYALTY CIRCLE

Gettysburg College gratefully recognizes our most loyal supporters — consecutive annual donors. Known as the Loyalty Circle, our consecutive donor society celebrates and acknowledges alumni, parents, and friends who have given to the College for at least three consecutive years (fiscal year runs June 1 - May 31), or every year since graduation.

PLANNED GIVING: THE 1832 SOCIETY

Members of The 1832 Society include those who have named Gettysburg College in their wills, estate plans, or any other gift of future provision. They believe in a strong future for Gettysburg College. Examples of future provisions include bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, retained life estates, gifts of life insurance, and beneficiary designations from retirement plans. PARTICIPATION

Not only does every gift to the Gettysburg Fund provide dollars that further our educational goals, but every gift also serves as an endorsement of Gettysburg College—our mission and our importance in the world.

The more alumni of the College engage in annual giving each year, the greater the message we send about a Gettysburg education: that those who know the College best believe in what we do. High rates of alumni participation also advance the College’s position in national rankings, which leads to even greater interest in Gettysburg on the part of high-achieving prospective students. THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINING GIFTS

One way to retain classmates as donors for years, not just during reunion, is to ask for a sustaining gift. Classmates can set the frequency (monthly, quarterly, or annually) and the amount of their gift. It will be charged automatically to their credit cards and will continue until they instruct the College to make a change. It’s not only convenient for the donor, it provides steady income for the College and enables smaller gifts to make a larger impact over time. For more information, call 717-337-6502, or visit www.gettysburg.edu/sustaininggift.

AN OUTLINE OF THE GOALS AND STRUCTURE OF THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Each year, Gettysburg College depends on a cadre of volunteers to bring energy and purpose to the Annual Giving Program. Volunteers help us to achieve our ambitious fundraising and participation goals, and help boost the attendance for your reunion. You are important!

WAYS YOU CAN HELP AS A VOLUNTEER

A general guideline of responsibilities for a Gettysburg reunion volunteer is as follows:

• Make your own gift or pledge (payable by May 31st) to the Gettysburg Fund by December 31st;

• Participate in conference calls and/or meetings;

• Make calls to invite classmates to attend Reunion Weekend and to make direct or indirect solicitations for gifts;

• Make time to call your assigned classmates. First touch – reconnect and give basic information; second touch – revisit and discuss social plans, gift goals, and his/her gift; third touch – follow-up;

• Share knowledge of the Gettysburg Fund and O&B Club with your peers; an online volunteer toolkit will help you create emails and social media posts.

• Be knowledgeable about the College and its future. Visit www.gettysburg.edu or stay up-to-date with the Bullet Points e-newsletter and/or the Gettysburg magazine.

• Plan to attend Reunion Weekend if able.

Reunion Volunteer Guide

FAQs: SPEAKING WITH YOUR CLASSMATES May I direct my Gettysburg Fund gift to a specific department or program? The most powerful gift is a totally unrestricted commitment to the Gettysburg Fund. However, on the gift form anyone may designate a Gettysburg Fund gift to an area he/she has interest in helping; this includes an option to add a specific academic department, student activity, or scholarships and financial aid.

I can’t possibly make a gift of that size! While ask amounts are not arbitrarily assigned, it is understood that not everyone can give at the level requested. Gift requests are based on an individual’s previous giving history or other information. Also, a gift can be spread out over many months and does not need to be completed in full until May 31. Additional information is available at www.gettysburg.edu/sustaininggift or by contacting your College reunion liason.

I cannot give right now. A pledge commitment may be made at any time. Pledge reminders will be sent periodically as a reminder to complete your payments by May 31. Also, don’t assume “no” is a no to giving; it may be a no to the ask amount. This is an opportunity to ask for a lower amount or listen to the reasons behind the response. Stress that participation is important and gifts of all size really do matter.

I did not receive financial aid. Why should I help others? Tuition covers only about 80 percent of the cost of attending Gettysburg. Even if you paid full tuition, you did not pay the actual full cost of your education. The Gettysburg Fund, along with endowment earnings and auxiliary enterprises, helped to provide the other 20 percent of the cost.

I support other causes that have greater need. By giving to the Gettysburg Fund, you are ensuring that there will be future generations of men and women who will work for and with these causes. Supporting the Gettysburg Fund allows today’s students to become tomorrow’s leaders.

I will not give because of a particular Gettysburg College policy or issue. Allow your prospect to voice his/her opinion. If he/she asks you for your opinion about the issue, use your own judgment. Do not argue with the person. Depending on the issue, it may be appropriate to close the call as quickly as possible. If you wish to respond, try to “own” your answer, e.g., “It has been my experience that…” Please note any specific requests for additional information or if follow-up by a College administrator would be appropriate.

If possible, remind your classmate that Gettysburg Fund gifts benefit people, specifically the current students of Gettysburg College. The largest portion of the money raised provides financial aid and faculty support. Choosing not to support the Gettysburg Fund affects the student body and faculty.

I just sent my gift. That’s wonderful. The phone call would then be turned into a thank you call. Thank your classmate for supporting the Gettysburg Fund.
