Reunions

Prepayment Plan

The Alumnae Association is pleased to announce a prepayment plan for alumnae attending their reunion in 2009. Because reunion comes only once every five years, we want you to enjoy it without worrying about finances. This flexible automatic payment plan enables you to make monthly payments toward your reunion reservation from July 2008– April 2009.

› Authorization for Direct Payment form

Here are some of the benefits you’ll receive on the plan. You can

• receive the service free of charge
• avoid having to make one large reunion payment
• receive 100 percent of your money back if you decide not to attend reunion
• make payments directly from your checking or savings account
• select your own payment amount.

How does it work?
It’s simple. Print and fill out the Authorization for Direct Payment form authorizing the Alumnae Association to collect monthly payments directly from your checking or savings account. Choose from four monthly payment dates, and select a payment amount that works for you. After you register for reunion we will refund any overpayment, or let you know if you have a balance due.

How much will reunion cost in 2009?

The estimated cost for reunion is $350. This cost includes the alumna reunion reservation charge for Friday and Saturday overnight stay in one of the residence halls, Saturday and Sunday breakfast, parade costume/accessory, reunion booklet (if offered by your class), Saturday social hour, and Saturday dinner with your class. Adult guest reservations are estimated at $275 for the full weekend.

Whom should I contact if I have questions regarding this plan?

Any questions or concerns you have regarding this plan can be answered by Stephanie Gonthier, Alumnae Association Director of Finance at 413-538-2736 or sgonthie@mtholyoke.edu.

Is there a deadline to sign up for this plan?

Yes.  If you chose to participate in this plan, you must do so by March 1, 2009, although you will be making only two payments.

We hope you find this service helpful in planning for your reunion in 2009!
