Classmates,

Forwarding the below message from Mike McCain.

Mike has been working to support our class reunion since we started planning our reunion weekend this coming month. He has designed and implemented a unique and stunning challenge coin that commemorates our happy 50th Reunion.

Please contact Mike directly at his email below if you are interested in a coin.

Thanks,

Ron

Classmates,

IVHS Class Commemorative Coins are available. These coins are a healthy 40 mm or 1 2/3rd inches across. They are currently available at $25 per coin.
There are nine available now, but more can be made if there is interest. These coins take more than an hour to produce, so please express your interest so that there is time to make yours before our Reunion.
Thank You, Mike Mccain @ motormccain@yahoo.com

Classmates,

My apologies, but the “Payable To:” account name in the 4/17/25 message WAS incorrect.

If you are writing a check for our reunion, PLEASE MAKE IT PAYABLE TO: “Class of 1975 DBA”.

If you have already sent a check written per the prior instruction, no need to send another check at this point.
Your check cannot be deposited in the “Class of 1975 DBA” account, but we may be able to use it as is. We will contact you if that cannot be done.

Thank you, Ron
