FALL REUNION 2011

Dear ‘61s and families:

This year is an “off Homecoming” year with the added complexity of the first 6 PM game under the new lights at the stadium. So, we will have two gatherings: (A) one to try out the evening game format and (B) the other a more typical afternoon game preceded by the usual meeting with ‘our students’ - those we award with a stipend for their studies - followed by cocktails and dinner at the Sumner Mansion.

(A) ---------------- Sept 30 - Oct 2: PENN Game (6:00 PM)	(B) ---------------------------------- NOV 4 - 6: CORNELL GAME (1:30 PM)
LODGING -------------------------------------------------------------------------
For (A) no special arrangements have been made but be aware it is leaf peeping season and housing will be tight.	For (B) plenty of rooms are available at the Hampton Inn in White River Jct. Rooms will be held for us until October 3. (Ask for “Dartmouth College” discount approx. $92.65 + 9% VT tax - 802 296-2800) Also, there are 4 rooms at the Sumner Mansion in Hartland VT (owner: Jill Crowley) (802) 299-0639.
EVENTS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Friday, depending on weather and interest, we can have a picnic at the Baum Conservation Area in Enfield. Then, we will have cocktails and dinner at the Norwich Inn at 6:00 PM. On Saturday we will consider a lunch with a speaker if enough of us sign on. One may attend the Faculty Chalk Talk Saturday 10 AM, Room 105 Dartmouth Hall.	. (B) If there is interest and the weather cooperates, on Friday we will consider a walk at the Baum Conservation Area on Moose Mtn at 11 AM with a BYO picnic lunch. Easy walking; great views. Then, no promises but we might have the professor who chose the First Year Book talk with us about it if you think you would be interested: The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World Trade by Pietra Rivoli. We will regroup for cocktails and dinner at 6:00 PM at the Norwich Inn. Saturday morning we will continue our tradition of meeting with ‘our students’. We will have a box lunch before the football game with CORNELL at 1:30 PM. Weather permitting, we will gather after the game at the Frost Statue. Saturday Night Dinner will be at The Sumner Mansion in Hartland, VT. Besides a speaker from the Dartmouth faculty, we will invite students from the morning session and some of those who assisted us at our 50th to enliven the evening. Sunday brunch at Hanover Inn.
