Class Community Service
In the spirit of our IT’S A ‘01DERFUL LIFE theme, the Class of 2001 is encouraging its members and fellow Princetonians to consider what they’re grateful for in their lives. Libraries are certainly places we’ve all benefited from, and so we’re holding a book drive and raising funds to benefit Homefront New Jersey. Homefront is a central New Jersey organization helping local families break the cycle of poverty through a variety of initiatives, and has recently built a library whose shelves are waiting to be filled. Fans of the movie and our inspiration IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE will note that George Bailey’s sweetheart Mary Hatch ends up as a librarian in her alternate life, which to us could be a wonderful fate! Please donate on the Eventbrite registration site (scroll to the bottom of the ticket options) and bring books for all ages to the 15th Reunion registration area in Wilson Courtyard. We will also be accepting monetary donations at the 15th Reunion registration area.

To the Great Class of 2001,
It’s been an eventful decade and a half since we walked through FitzRandolph Gate – almost 15 years of building lives, careers and families in a world none of us could have predicted. Sometimes you just want to walk back through that gate and into the “Princeton Snow Globe.”
