Wakefield Class of 1960
Reunion Committee

The REUNION COMMITTEE's makeup and function (as of 25 Sep 2011)

The REUNION COMMITTEE is made up of Class of '60 Warriors who are committed to planning interesting get-togethers for our classmates, and otherwise keeping them engaged, in-touch, and informed through a variety of channels. The Committee has been composed of 11 members for the past several years. However, early in 2011, Jim Sioris indicated he could no longer be involved, and so the Committee put out the word that it was looking for another classmate to incorporate into the group. In late September 2011, Dick Wheeler was voted onto the committee.

The primary requirement for serving on the committee is a commitment to keeping abreast of and actively participating in committee activities via various media (telephone, e-mail, proxies, etc.) Immediate proximity to the northern Virginia area is helpful, but not necessarily a mandatory qualification.

The Reunion Committee elects and supervises a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary, and Treasurer to implement/maintain: agenda, planning and projects; record-keeping and archival functions; and financial actions and records. Terms for these four positions are for five years, after which mandatory change occurs. Current incumbents in these four positions are indicated in the overall committee listing below. Additionally, three standing functions are taken care of by the persons indicated at the bottom of the page. In the ramp-up to the five-year reunions, temporary committees are established to handle various key functions.

Meetings of the Reunion Committee

The Reunion Committee gets together several times a year - to discuss what needs discussing, to plan what needs planning, to improve on what needs improving, and for social purposes. All Committee functions are self-funded out of Committee members' pockets. General treasury funds are used ONLY for classwide events. Any donations you make to the general cause of Wakefield '60 do not support the Reunion Committee get-togethers in any way. We typically meet at a restaurant, or in the houses of Committee members.

We'll post pictures of Committee gatherings every now and then, just so you know we're working on a regular basis to help keep things headed in the right direction. See the pictures below of December 2010's social get-together (no business conducted).
