Dear Baltimore City College Alumnus,
Baltimore City College was founded on October 23, 1839, the school will be celebrating its 175th anniversary in October, 2014.
It is with great pride that I, as chairman/coordinator of BCC’s 175th Gala, to announce that The GALA Anniversary Party will be held on October 25, 2014 at Martin’s Valley Mansion in Hunt Valley, MD. This will be a black tie affair (tux or black business suit with an orange tie [this is not optional]).* The cost will be $125.00 p.p., all inclusive.**
The 175th Gala celebration will be ‘kicked off’ at the CITY vs. POLY 125th football meet in November, 2013. This game is the oldest continuing high school rivalry in the United States. It is older than the Army/Navy games. At the moment we are drawing some attention from ESPN-TV about some type of coverage, maybe delayed tape replay. But, mainly they are interested in the fact of the historical nature of this game. We are also into discussion with major networks to try to help highlight not only the game but the Gala as well. From November, 2013 until October, 2014 the Gala committee is going to be working to keep City College in the news as much as possible.
The Gala committee is working closely with the BCC Alumni Association in encouraging all classes that are considering reunions that year to participate in this event.
At the moment some of your fellow classmates who are involved in the Gala Committee are: Anita Allen ’82, Edward Amos ’59, Calvin Anderson ’63, Wayne R. Brown ’70, Cinese Caldwell ’94, Steve Clendenin, George Doetsch, Jr. ’59, Leah Douthard ’89, Joel Eiseman ’59, Howard Fink ’59, Dr. Robert Fleishman ’56, Donald Garner ’70, Elliott Goldberg ’59, Michael Hamilton ’69, Cindy Harcum ’88, Carla Hopkins ’83, Jacob Howard ’74, Shannon Jones ’82, Ed Rose ’55, Sophia Rudisill ’95, Leo Sirota ’47, Jack Smolenki ’59, Diandra Taylor, Tom Vondersmith ’58, Charles E. Walker ’59, Michael Wells ’69 and hopefully more as we continue.
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, etc. or contributions big or small would definitely be appreciated.
As Always, CITY FOREVER!
