The great response and participation at the Virtual Bordeaux Wine Tasting Party October 2020 indicated Classmates want to be doing more together whether in person or virtual.  A series of monthly meetings called By the Class For the Class were held the third Thursday of every month from February through August, 2021.  We hope you will enjoy watching videos of these sessions and that they will provide you a means for reconnecting with lifelong friends.  Please see the Videos section on this site.

The FUN Committee has heard Classmates want to meet more frequently than every five years and in locations beyond Cambridge.

We have a party planned for New Orleans during April 2024.  What's not to like about New Orleans - great food, great jazz, great venues and great friends to enjoy it all?  We will be experiencing the French Quarter first-hand for four days, the 7th - 10th April 2024, and some may even choose to stay over to enjoy the French Quarter Fest that will be held the 11th - 13th of 2024.  There will be opportunities to experience the best restaurants, French cooking classes, Mardi Gras floats, walking tours of the Garden District, paddle wheelers on the Mississippi, and much living history.  Uniquely, in addition, we will be visiting the WWII Museum where special arrangements have been made and where a Gala event will be held on our last night.  In short, a perfect way to re-connect with each other, relax and stimulate our minds in true HBS fashion.

Want a little preview?  Here's a video our Classmate Jim McGee put together for our event.

One of the amazing things about the Spirit of '76 is how many Classmates have been involved.  The Women Alumnae have organized parties that have maintained and deepened their connection with one another.  Section G has organized multiple parties domestically and internationally.  Fred Eustis has been leading a Section H golf outing for over a decade.  The FUN Committee has focused on Class wide events like Napa 2009, NYC 2010, NYC 2014, NYC Lower Manhattan 2016, Naples FL 2020 and Bordeaux France 2023.  In the past 40 years External Relations has organized eight unique events for the Class.  It is likely Classmates initiated over 40 off-campus reunions, a five-fold difference.

The Class set on-campus reunion records during the 30th, 35th and 40th Reunions.  This record is an amazing testament to the Class.  By staying connected between on-campus reunions there is a much greater sense of connection within the Class and to HBS.
