Our 60th Reunion Wrap-up
On Sep. 28, 2022, thanks to our many generous class donors, our class gave $2,500 to the District 219 Education Foundation, Niles West, for student aid. As our Treasurer, Mike Kiss, put it:
"Our gift is submitted in honor of the faculty, staff, and administration that served us so well and in memory of departed classmates.
Funding is to be restricted to providing needed supplies (including computer equipment), paying activity and or/book fees, and funding specific high school related expenses for students from low-income families attending Niles West High School. Awards are to be on a needs only basis in an attempt to even the playing field for all students. Within the parameters described above, the Foundation is free to allocate these funds.
The highlight of our celebration was reminiscing about the wonderful experiences we had as students and friends. We sincerely hope this small token of appreciation will allow others to share in the warm afterglow that permeated our very special event."
Our 50th Reunion Wrap-up
On Nov. 13, 2012, thanks to our many generous class donors, our class gave $5,000 to the District 219 Education Foundation, Niles West, for student aid. "It certainly felt good knowing we were helping the needy students, especially when we heard about 1/3 receive funding for their lunches", said Barb Graff Dorfman.
