A Message from the President
From Jane Kentnor Dean, November 2009Dear Classmates,
You have just clicked on to another piece of history in our 57 years of being the great Class of ’56: OUR NEW WEBSITE!! I am so excited for what this means to us over the next years. With the initial help of Mary Wells Vickery ’77, our own Toni Holland Liebman has created a website that will be informative, fun and, most importantly, easily edited. This eliminates the need for hiring a outside web manager and enables us to make changes immediately when necessary without any time lapse.Check out all the photos on Other Reunions, and information about 75th Birthday Parties, especially those in the planning stages…just in case you might be traveling to an area where one is scheduled. The Happenings page will occasionally feature WC campus news as well as current projects by classmates to allow us all to support these by purchasing a book, or attending a concert or photo/art exhibition…of a class member or her offspring ..etc In Memoriam will list deceased classmates since our 50th reunion, and Supporting Wellesley will focus on the ways that our loyal class provides continuing support for the college. Be on the lookout for News of the 55th Reunion (June 3-5, 2011) as soon as plans are formulated. The Website does not replace the Wellesley Magazine column so well written by Laura Ginsburg Strauss (miator2@aol.com). In the column, the whole class can read news about classmates’ travels and get-togethers, special events such as poetry readings exhibits, concerts, publications, and children and grandchildren…of course. Don’t forget to send your news to Laura or the ’56 column will look too skimpy. Now it’s up to you to keep Toni informed (toelieb@aol.com). Since at least 80% of the class has email addresses and, thus, Internet access, we hope that the website will be well used and consulted on a regular basis. And please share the information you read with your friends who do not use the Internet. Be certain to notify me if your e-mail address changes so that you will continue to receive my occasional e-mail blasts All classmates will receive a letter from me by “snail mail” once or twice a year, but the website gives us the flexibility to be more current. We look forward to your comments about the website. It is a big step towards the Executive Committee’s goal of keeping us as connected as much as possible during these next years of our lives – a time when old friendships become increasing precious.A big 1956 WELLESLEY RAH to Toni
