Our Class reception and dinner will commence at 6 PM at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick. To give you a sense of where it is, it is located a short walking distance from Winants Hall.

Our dinner speaker will be Professor Joachim Kohn, Director of the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials. The Class of 1954 Reunion Committee has selected the Center as the recipient of the designated class gift. We are proud to be the first Rutgers class to recognize Dr. Kohn and his staff of distinguished scientists for their pioneering cutting edge and innovative research in biomaterials dedicated to increasing the quality of life as our life span increases. We have an opportunity to benefit humanity and Rutgers simultaneously.

Registration by March 31, 2004 is most important as we must have exact numbers for ordering purposes both for events and for our uniforms.

A voluntary contribution of $25 is requested whether you come or not to cover administrative costs. We must reimburse the Rutgers Alumni Association for mailings, student helpers and other expenses. Also, whether you come or not, please complete the biography.

You will receive a general reunion brochure from the RAA in the spring with the specific time and location of the breakfast. Additionally, the Spring issue of 1766 Magazine will publish this information. The Registration Form allows you to indicate whether you intend to come to the breakfast.

Class headquarters will be closed.

The RAA has added An All-Alumni Breakfast to the weekend activities. The breakfast will be held indoors on the College Avenue campus. This new event will cost $14.00. Bring your guests and let's conclude our 50th with a Bang on the Banks.
