CLASS OF 1987 - 30TH REUNION: June 8-11, 2017
March 2017 Dear Williams Class of ’87, As you all know, we are fast approaching the exciting opportunity to gather in the Purple Valley and celebrate our 30th Reunion! Mark your calendars (June 8 – 11) and get ready to share laughs with some of your lifelong friends, reconnect with old friends, and perhaps establish new ties with classmates you did not have the pleasure of knowing while you were enrolled at Williams.

Signing up for Reunion is easy. You can use the registration form included in this packet, or go online and register at http://alumni.williams.edu/events/reunions. Whether you go for the entire weekend, or just one night, we’d really like to see you! Reunion Headquarters will be located at the Perry/Wood House location. Our Friday and Saturday dinner functions will be held in that area. Please note there will also be a class dinner just across the street at the Faculty House on Thursday night for any of you who will be in Williamstown on Thursday. Please keep in mind that unlike the 25th, which was a bit of a formal affair, our 30th will be much more casual. Attire for each evening function is your choice. Shorts, pants, ties, dresses. jean jackets? Your choice . There will be plenty of fun things to do for alums, spouses/guests and children. More detail on the scheduled college-wide events and children’s activities can be found at http://alumni.williams.edu/reunionschedule. Please know there are also some class-specific options that might likewise be of interest. Should you wish to arrange for golf tee times at the Taconic Golf Club, please coordinate through Don Dagnoli (
