Welcome Heather!

Dear friends, on October 30 at 9:21 pm, little Heather Ellison Clark was born at the  Taiwan National Hospital in Hsinchu, Taiwan. She arrived a couple weeks earlier than expected, under some rushed circumstances, but it  is with tremendous joy and gratitude that I can say both Mother and Daughter are doing well. They should both be ready to check out of the hospital tomorrow November 4. I am truly blessed. 

Best wishes to everyone,

Nelse, Vivian & little Heather

Gratitude

Our contact in the DA Development Office has noticed some newer and some larger donors to the Annual Fund from our class this fall and Doug Schmidt and I wanted to say thank you.  We've come a long way together, with trials and tribulations shared or held close, but when asked, we're the kind of class that will step up, for Deerfield and each other.

Here's some stats for the last 6 years.  Congratulations on hitting 50% in 2018!!!
(Sorry for the blurry screen grabs)

Class of 1983

2018 Stats:

Donors- 63 of 126 solicitable - exactly 50% (highest participation since 2011!)

Dollars-$52,317 for the Annual Fund (plus $32,035 capital = $84,852 total from your classmates last year)

Of our 63 donors: 51 gave online, 11 gave via mail and 1 gave cash in person!

We like our challenge contests too: 23 gave in March challenge and 26 gave in the June challenge.  (Some gave in both! Thanks!!)

Here's how we compare to the decade of the 80's over the past 3 years:

Finally,  Thanks to the specific donors who made our epic charge to 50% possible.  WORTHY!!! *
