HEY, JUDE . . . , LOUIE, LOUIE, . . . . MRS. ROBINSON . . . . and all Esteemed Members of the Class of 1969,
ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT? In
need of GOOD VIBRATIONS? . . . or simply requiring
HELP! during these tough economic times?
Look no further! Let Colorado College's Homecoming Weekend ~
October 9 -11, 2009 ~ serve as your BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED
WATER. It's our TURN! TURN! TURN!
to CHERISH those MEMORIES and
COME TOGETHER for our 40th, yes 40th!, CC
Reunion! It's time to cut through the PURPLE HAZE
of YESTERDAY and remember when LIGHT MY FIRE
meant more than rubbing Ben-Gay on our achin' joints.
The plan for the weekend is:
- to reconnect with old or even long-forgotten friends
and professors
- marvel over the stellar architectural additions to campus, including
the new
Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center
- enjoy the excitement of CC hockey ~ soccer
- observe the curious cultural rituals of today's students
But here's THE TWIST. Your Fellow Classmates
CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION unless YOU show up! So
. . . whether you're LEAVING ON A JET PLANE or using your
own LOCO-MOTION to connect with your inner
RUNAWAY ~~~ DON'T THINK TWICE! Escape
for the weekend to the beautiful Rockies, and put October 9 - 11
on your calendar in ink!
Don't say " I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE"
. . . You heard it HERE! . . . . From your 40th Reunion Committee.
Think of this as your Engraved Invitation. Take a moment,
STOP, IN THE NAME OF LOVE, and in the spirit of our 1999
Renegade Reunion, get ahold of your Classmates. C'mon SUGAR,
SUGAR . . . Be the LEADER OF THE PACK! Get
on that e-mail. Pick up the phone. SHE'S NOT THERE?
Call again. Ignore those SOUNDS OF SILENCE.
Just say, " HELLO, I LOVE YOU" and somebody's
bound to call back.
GOD ONLY KNOWS, we don't expect to see you
RUNNING BEAR though Loomis. We just WANNA HOLD
YOUR HAND and LET THE SUN SHINE IN . . . So, SEE
YOU IN SEPTEMBER, uh, we mean October . . .
With R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
Your 40th Reunion Committee
