Wabash College - Class of 1991

The early reports show a tremendous support of the third installment of WABASH Day over this past weekend. Like all new traditions, WABASH Day has certainly grown since its inception by Jon Pactor ‘71 and the NAWM. Here’s the story. Approximately 39 projects took place all across the country, from “the gloomy shade of the northern pine to the light of the southern seas.” Some 342 alumni, families, and friends participated, up 35% over last year.

And with it, these classmates were there, helping out:
Bill McClure in Houston
Luke Messer in Shelbyville
Roland Morin in South Bend
Jacob Schultheis and Eric Strehl in Evansville
Hugh Vandivier in Indianapolis

Just as this event grows, we’d like to see even more participation from the Class of ‘91 next year.

Those are but two of the edicts laid forth in Wabash College’s mission statement. And for the past few years, they have been put to no better use than at Wabash Day. Established by Jon Pactor ‘71 through the NAWM, Wabash Day is a national day–well, actually two days–of community service planned and carried out by alumni, family, and friends throughout the country.

This year’s Wabash Day is the weekend of October 6-7.

The College has created a spiffy new Web site to coordinate the activities and where you can locate infomation on project leaders and locations. There’s even a Google map designating Wabash Day sites all the way from Seattle to Boston! Be sure to help fulfill Wabash’s mission and sign up for Wabash Day.
