Berry College Class of 1978C Reunion
Mountain Day, October 3-4, 2008
Time truly flies and it really has been five years since our last reunion opportunity. This year we celebrate 30 years since we graduated from Berry College. It hardly seems possible, doesn’t it? Five years ago, it might have been a tough time to attend a reunion, i.e., kids, school, college, and more. Hopefully now is a great time to consider a trip back to good ole Berry and down memory lane.
We are also one of several classes that is celebrating a reunion during the Berry Alumni Association's Centennial Year. We will be part of a MEGA Reunion dinner at Oak Hill on Saturday, October 4, with a reception beginning at 5 p.m. behind the Oak Hill home. You will not want to miss the opportunity to participate in this incredible event.

Our Class Reunion Gift
Reunions are also a time to consider giving back to Berry. For our 25th reunion, many of us participated in a room-naming opportunity for Dan Biggers. That project is still underway and we need $6,540 to reach our goal of $25,000; or, if you prefer, take this opportunity to recognize someone at Berry who made a difference in your life. We all had a favorite professor, advisor, or someone who encouraged us. This year, you can recognize them by making a gift to Berry in their honor or memory. Another option is to contribute to the Annual Fund, which supplements the Student Work Program and provides tuition assistance for students who would otherwise not be able to attend Berry. Just remember--any gift you give, regardless of size, is important. We need your participation, at our reunion celebration and as a donor!
