WPI Class of 1996 Board of Directors Minutes of September 25, 1999 1. Members present: Amy Marr, Shannon Foskett, Cyndi Fusco, Jason Heminger, Cindy Michell, Brian Parker, Rich Santora, John Aliberti 2. Cindy Michell asked for volunteers to phone members of our class to solicit money for the class gift. Several board members volunteered, and Cindy agreed to find out exactly what happens to the money (e.g., do we hand over the cash, or do we get to pick something for WPI to buy with it?) 3. John Aliberti asked if he could join the class board. Amy Marr also mentioned that Rachel Butland would like to join. After a brief discussion, John and Rachel were named to the board. 4. Amy Marr asked the board what they thought of last year's holiday cards. Most members agreed that they were a good idea, and some stated that they had the calendar portion hanging in their offices. Amy reported that the class has well over $2,000 left in its account, and asked if the board would like to do cards again. Discussion ensued about the importance of keeping in the minds of our classmates, as our Reunion approaches and we are starting to raise money. After looking through some catalogs, the members agreed on a design. Amy will follow through with the Alumni Office and have the cards sent. 5. Amy asked the board to help her update the website. A paper was passed around for members to write down any information they heard. Sordid gossip was discussed, and Amy agreed to update the pages with the information that could be confirmed. She asked board members, especially the new ones, to look at the website soon and email her information to be added.
