Alumni News Join the Club! (The Legacy Club) Annual gifts to Hartwick support the College in many important ways. Repeat annual gifts, in particular, strengthen the College’s foundation and give Hartwick leaders flexibility to pursue unexpected opportunities in programming and to help alleviate current students’ unanticipated financial need. Don ’60 and Diane Green ’60 Brown are the champions of consecutive giving. This couple met as Hartwick students, continued to give throughout Don’s 32 years working at Hartwick, and have not missed in the 19 years since. Annual giving is a priority for this devoted couple, and so the College has renamed the Legacy Club as The Don ’60 and Diane ’60 Brown Legacy Club. Members of the Legacy Club have donated to Hartwick for five consecutive years or more. Each year during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, the Don ’60 and Diane Green ’60 Brown Award is presented to an outstanding member of the Legacy Club. If you already are a consecutive donor to Hartwick College, thank you; if not, this is a great time to start! Major League thanks to all who supported Hartwick’s 9th annual Wine and Beer Tasting and Benefit Auction. Student athlete volunteers were dressed for the party when they welcomed guests and represented the Hartwick athletic program. Emcee and auctioneer Vinne Avanzato graciously hosted the gathering at his family establishment, Stella Luna Ristorante. Stella Luna and its vendors presented an extensive array of wine and beer tastings while the silent auction was underway. Hundreds of people gathered from the College and Oneonta communities for this spring tradition. Donations for the live and silent auctions came in from alumni across the country, current and alumni parents, faculty and staff, friends of the College, and local businesses. Premiere live auction items generated intense bidding, including four EMC Club tickets to the Boston Red Sox vs. NY Yankees at Fenway Park (from Bob Atchinson ’79), four 32 | The Wick | Summer 2012 Alumnus | Volunteer | Fundraiser Joins College Advancement Leadership Team Eric Shoen ’99 is now Hartwick’s Executive Director of Individual Giving.
