Volume IX, No. 2

And the Beat (Still) Goes
On ...
... celebrating the past,
building for the future! The year-long celebration commemorating the WCAA's 35th
anniversary will conclude with Reunion
2010, June 18-20! A special invitation will soon go out to ALL Bulletin
Class Reps, who will be honored for their indispensable service.
Still Busy After All
These Years ...
... doing what they do best.
No one who knew them at Western will be surprised to read that alums Kaye Hedeen
Kory '69 and Tonya Lovelace '90 are involved in public
service or that Bev Rohlehr '69 and Elisabeth Price '04 are making
beautiful music and art.
Yes, Virginia ...
... there is a
Western Program! The numbers may be down, but enthusiasm is way up. You can see
with your own eyes (and hear with your own ears) by eavesdropping on their new
website, complete with a video. Also on
the Western campus, the Kumler Chapel pipe organ, newly restored to
its original splendor, was featured along with the voices of two Miami choral
groups in a program of sacred and music at Kumler. And, yes, there were candles.
Past Meets Present ...
... with the digitization of
the Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964 collection. Documents and
videos can be viewed online, thanks to modern technology and the efforts of the
Miami University Libraries and Western
College Memorial Archives. Western alumnae and former faculty are
panelists in video 22.
Lunch Is Served ...
... in the holiday
atmosphere of decked-out Patterson Place to our scholarship
recipients, along with lively conversation and goody/gift bags to
help them through exams, by the WCAA office staff.
