*REUNION** WRAP UP:*
I want to say, again, just how thrilled I was to be with each of you for our
reunion. It was so wonderful to catch up, reminisce, and most of all
CELEBRATE 10 years! We missed all of you who couldn't make it and hope
you'll enjoy the photos. It felt like no time had passed. The campus is even
more beautiful and the new/improved buildings are quite impressive.

Thank you, also, for your great comments and ideas on making future Reunions
better. Heather has already passed these on to various groups at Hollins and
they've truly appreciated our suggestions (playrooms for children, recycling
at outside meals, easier ways to drop off your Hollins Fund $, etc.) Please
be sure to also fill out the survey in your Hollins folders if you have any
further ideas. (Like, please make sure those massage people come again! I
loved my 10 minute chair massage!)

*T-SHIRTS:*
Our COLLEGE t-shirts were a hit. I'm happy to order & sell more. Please
contact me if you'd like one. They are $15 (before shipping). If you ordered
a t-shirt and did not receive it, please contact me as well.

*PLANNING FOR OUR 15th:*
As we look forward to our 15th (wow), please note that we're going to
continue with committees and expand them so that more people can be involved
in the fun!

For now, the reunion chairs are Caitrin McAlexander, Heather Pierce, and Jenny
Kischner Steen; the annual fund chairs are Sallie Cosby and Amy Miller; the
class reporter is Erica Pandapas Myatt; and the class historian is Heidi
Wiherle Pensell. We'll need Hospitality Chairs and more…so stay tuned!

I'd like to thank Liz Morris Orye and Sallie Cosby who've led our Annual
Fund over the last few years. Thanks to their hard work and everyone's
generous contributions, we won the Rock Award--given to the class with the
highest participation rate in the last 10 years of graduating. Let's keep it
up! Someone gave so that we could attend Hollins. Let's be the next someone.

*CLASS OF '97 DIRECTORY:*

Many people expressed an interest in a Class Directory. This has been set up
through an email account on gmail (Google's email.) Please take a moment to
log into the email account <*www.gmail.com*> with the
username--hollins97@gmail.com and the password--tinker.

Go to Contacts then...
Create a Contact and add your info! You will be responsible for updating
your own information any time it changes. You can also go here and search to
find others. Please find the contact(s) you need and then note them in your
own personal email address book. Please do* **not* send any emails from this
group address! This keeps the info a little private, instead of posted on a
website for anyone to find. It also ensures that anytime we need to alert
you to class of '97/Hollins-related stuff, you will receive it straight from
us.

*KODAK GALLERY:*
Many people also talked about a group-place where we could put photos from
really fun events, like Reunion. I've set up a hollins97@gmail.com account
on <*www.kodakgallery.com*>. Please feel free to load your photos to your
own Kodak Gallery account, and then share them with the
hollins97@gmail.comaccount. These will come up in "friends albums" so
everyone can log into the
hollins97@gmail account on Kodak Gallery and see everyone else's photos! If
you'd like to order photos from one of these albums, simply share that album
with your personal email address, and log in as yourself, and order away!
This way no one's personal billing info will cross paths. Please do*
**not*order anything while logged in as
hollins97@gmail.com. (Lots of nots in this email. Ha ha. Just trying to keep
us safe!)

Example:
Caitrin logs into her personal Kodak Gallery account
Caitrin loads her photos
Caitrin shares the album with "hollins97@gmail.com"
Heidi logs into Kodak Gallery as: hollins97@gmail.com password-tinker
Heidi views Caitrin's photos under "friends albums"
Heidi wants to order a few of Caitrin's photos
Heidi shares Caitrin's album with her own email account
Heidi logs into her personal Kodak Gallery account and orders the pictures!

This may sound complicated but I really think it will work! Again, we want
to keep billing info PRIVATE!

For all of this to work, we need your participation! Please begin by logging
into the gmail account and adding yourself as a Contact! Everyone will be
responsible for their own contact info.
