Get on board with your ’67 Classmates. It’s…

Already underway with nearly 120 members.
Immediate, interactive, private, secure, and definitely not social media.
Debugged and de-flamed.
Bigger, broader, friendlier and…
Much more than a listserv:

Updates on the lives of our ’67 Classmates – milestones, families, careers, projects…

• News of Class events – reunions, mini-reunions, luncheons, gatherings, football games
• Birthdays – we try to celebrate them for all members and alert everyone on the day; lots of good wishes flow.
• Obituaries – alas, it’s reality for our classmates.
• Dialogue – ideas, opinions, memories, insights; civil discourse – without flaming!
• Commentary – current events, politics, Yale events and policies.
• Links – hyperlinks to articles and news of current or historical interest from a wide range of sources.
• Photos – family, pets, birds, beautiful photos, travel, favorites. Drag ‘n drop, share, enjoy.

• Music – share .mp3 and .mp4 audio files…

• Videos – share YouTube and other video links; John Mauceri’s “Gershwin to Hamilton” presentation at our 50th Reunion.
• Travel – updates and photos of exciting travel by classmates.
• Yale Memories – professors, classmates, events.
• Favorites – historical moments, historical figures, heroes, mentors…

• Sharing practical advice – medical/surgical specialist recommendations, healthcare, travel…
• Emotional support – your Classmate friends are there for you…
• Secure – private online group, protected by the Google Groups platform, on which this ’67 group is based; not nearly as hackable as the old listserv, high level of security; not searchable on the internet; no advertisements; definitely not social media. However, a posting to this group can end up on social media if a member chooses to copy and paste it. We ask that members respect the privacy of the group in this regard.
• Monitored – by managers and maintained under strong, clear terms and conditions.
• Fellowship – anything you want to share with classmates in good spirit.
• Connection – with classmates who share your interests and ideas, and those who don’t; and if you want to correspond with a classmate offline, we can provide his contact information, if you need it.
• Easy to participate – use your email or login via Web browser for access from anywhere.

Now you won’t have to wait for our 55th Reunion to re-connect or have a reunion-level conversation with your classmates. Get updated on them – and they on you – immediately. Just join the Class of 1967 Discussion Group and keep building the goodwill among us.

Here’s how to join:

Just send an email with your name, Residential College, birthday (so we can recognize you on your day), and preferred email address to yale67manager@gmail.com. We’ll send you a membership confirmation and simple instructions. Then you’ll be able to enjoy leaning in – or just lurking. Your participation will help make the Discussion Group even better. Welcome.

Sincerely,
