Cornell University Class of '57
Connects with the Class of 2007

Dateline: 7 Feb 2009 - Philadelphia, Annual Meeting of Class Officers

Class President Dori Albert Presenting a $10,000 Gift to
Class of 2007 Co-Presidents Eddie Gumbs and Kara Tappen!

This "Pay It Forward" Gift by our class to the Class of 2007 was an initiative approved unanimously by class officers at their Annual Meeting in Philadelphia in February 2008. This gift is intended to provide a boost to the Class of '07's reunion efforts and other initiatives so essential to a healthy and vibrant class alumni organization. In addition, our class officers also offered to provide "mentoring support" to their alumni efforts at any time.
We asked that they do the same in 50 years for the Class of 2057!

Below is a gracious Thank You Note from the Class of '07:

Dear Dori,

It was so great to meet you and your fellow class officers at CACO last month. Eddy and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to your council. Your generosity will make it possible for our class to re-connect with each other and foster new friendships. During these hard times, I think it is even more important for our class to remain connected to Cornell and your gift will help us make sure that happens. We have included a note about the gift on our website and posted the pictures of our two classes at CACO. I would appreciate it if you could share our website with the other '57 council members:

Once again, we thank you wholeheartedly for your class's generous contribution to us and we hope to keep our two classes in touch.

Best Regards,

Kara Tappen and Eddy Gumbs

Co-Presidents, Class of 2007
