The reunion I was planning when I posted before happened and went off great. We had young almnae so they all stayed at the same hotel and I think they went out Friday night after our cookout at the house. Saturday was good, we did a rededication service, then a brunch at the art museum on campus and did a all chapter photo. then we sent them to an almunae meeting where they started the process for an official support group. Formal was that night
For a gift, because it was our 5 year, we redid our founders composite. They had done it pretty low budget and the photos were coming undone from the mounting and whatnot. we had the photos all digitally touched up, we kept the same style with a dark green background( the rest since have been a cream) and then we got a new frame and uv glass to protect it. The original was given to the college archives so it will be stored in a temp controlled enviorment and it will be around down the road. They were thrilled. First because they didn't look jaundice anymore and second because a trinket is easy but there was some thought put to this, It is now hung in the living room w/the current composite, the old ones are in a back hall.
If you're looking for a gift, find one that will mean something to your founders and will last for a while, not necessarily the most expensive.
