After
months of anticipation, the updated Ramée Circle Society roster was
unveiled in the lobby of the Reamer Campus Center on Oct. 6 during Homecoming
and Family Weekend. The event began with a breakfast attended by sixteen
members of the Society. After remarks by President Roger Hull and Director of
Gift Planning Alice Marocco, C. Malcolm (Dusty) Rhoades '35, the first member
of the Ramée Circle Society, assisted President Hull with the presentation
of the new plaque. There are 230 individuals who have included Union in their
estate plans on this remarkable list, and visitors are urged to stop by the
Reamer Campus Center to see this impressive display of support for the College.

Bob
Howe '58, former chair of The Terrace Council, has agreed to accept yet another
volunteer role – chairing the Ramée Circle. In his new role, Bob will
prepare invitations to members to attend special events and act as liaison to
the Gift Planning Office. Bob, a member of the Ramée Circle since 1993,
has been a volunteer for the Annual Fund, the Alumni Council, and the
Admissions Office. The Ramée Circle recognizes those members of the Union
community – alumni, parents, and friends – who include Union in their estate
planning.
