09MAR2022 - Recent email from Class President Sally Anne Levine:
Class of 1970
Classmates,
Spring will soon be upon us and I write with good news! Cornell hopes to host in person Reunion 2022, June 9-12 and is planning to make limited dorm space available to 2020 and 2021 milestone (25th and 50th) Reunion classes who missed in person celebrations. Rooms will be available for registration on a first-come, first-served basis as part of Non-Reunion Year. Additional dorm rooms will also be available as part of regular Non-Reunion Year housing. There will be plenty of university sponsored festivities to enjoy. If you’d like join in, keep an eye on the university Reunion website for registration details starting in early April.
Hope to see you on the hill!
Sally Anne Levine, President Class of '70

... and of course, we look forward to seeing you on campus June 5-8, 2025

16MAR2021 - A message from our President
Sally Anne Levine that was recently mailed to all of our class
Dear '70 Classmate,
If this past year has taught us anything, it is the value of our communities and
our connections to one another. Whether you have remained in close touch with our
'70 classmates over the years or recently tuned in to a virtual gathering for the
first time, Cornell remains a community ready to welcome you with open arms. You
are an important member of our Cornell family.
Staying active in our class is vital to maintaining our shared community. The Class
of '70 plans activities, events, and special projects that keep us connected to
each other and to Cornell. Nearly everything we plan as a class—from online events
to on-campus traditions—is made possible by class members' paying class dues, which
we hope you will do at this time. Because the Cornell Magazine is ceasing publication,
the dues amount has been reduced.
The enclosed dues form (Pay Dues Here) also provides an opportunity for you
to support our Class of 1970 Scholarship and the Class of 1970 Spirit Fund. By contributing
to these funds, you will be making a philanthropic gift to Cornell in addition to
paying your class dues. For fiscal year 2021, our scholarship is projected to provide
$5,717 in undergraduate support. The recipient for academic year 2020-2021 is a
young woman in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Our Spirit Fund contributes
approximately $4,000 each year to Touchdown the Bear – you may have noticed that
Touchdown always sports a "70" jersey – as well as to the cheerleaders and the outstanding
senior athletes banquet.
We hope you will choose to stay involved by becoming a 2021-2022 class dues payer
and to support current Cornell students and assure the ongoing spirit of Cornell
by making an additional gift to one or both of our class funds. Your contributions
help make our continued connections possible. Thank you!
Sally Anne Levine '70, Class President
P.S. As always, dues payers will receive exclusive discounts via the Big Red Marketplace.
P.P.S. Paying class dues is not considered the same as making an outright
gift to Cornell. Class dues support class specific programs while other gifts to
Cornell support the broader initiatives of Cornell. Similar to your other philanthropic
giving, class dues are tax-deductible.

Cornell's Eighth Annual Giving Day was held on Wednesday, March 16, 2022.

Note: you can make donations at any time, even if you missed Giving Day
What is it? It is an annual day when alumni, parents, friends,
and Big Red worldwide come together to make a difference for Cornell, and so too
for the world. Please look at the website for Cornell Giving Day 2022:
https://givingday.cornell.edu
to find answers to your questions and much more information about Giving Day 2021. It
covered a full 24 hours from 12:00 a.m. until 11:59 p.m., "Ithaca Time". There
are descriptions of challenges and updates on donations to all manner of areas of
the University.
Please keep in mind that the Legendary Class of 1970 has three established
gifts to Cornell: we have two endowments: The Class of 1970 Scholarship Fund
(which has been awarding scholarships to Cornell undergrads
annually for many years) and The Spirit of the Class of 1970 Fund
(used to support and sustain: 1. Touchdown the Big Red
Bear; 2. The Cornell Cheerleading Squad; and 3. The Annual Senior Athlete Banquet). Our
third fund is The Class of 1970 Art Fund (which
has been used to purchase or assist in obtaining several works of art for Cornell's
Johnson Museum of Art). Please use the following info when
making a donation to any (or all!) of these three funds.
- The Class of 1970 Scholarship Endowment Fund : #112322
- The Class of 1970 Art Fund: #0000553
- The Spirit of the Class of 1970 Endowment Fund: #0010033
