I-1 dues is a minimum of $50 per family per year. If you pay your Class year or more in dues (i.e. $74, $86, $95, $112, etc…) you will receive special recognition at the BBQ, plus a very nice I-1 plaque that includes a shingle for every year you have contributed your Class year or more. We hope ALL “Old Ords”, current cadets, parents and friends of I-1 will contribute to the I-1 Association. If you are missing any shingles for your plaque, please let us know.

The 2018 reunion was another huge success. We had over 190 Ords, family and friends. At Parent’s weekend, we presented 9 scholastic incentive checks for $200 each, totaling $1,800. Our annual contribution to the outfit is a minimum of $3,500. We exceed that goal every year because of the “Old Ords” generous support and contributions.
The Company I-1 Association is a registered 501c(3), not for profit association, meaning all donations are tax deductible. As we move forward as an official non-profit organization, we need to update our I-1 data base of names, class year, mailing addresses and email addresses. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the reunion, please send your current contact information to the I-1 Association at [email protected]. If you have contact information on some or all of your buddies, please forward that as well.
This should be our biggest, most attended reunion EVER! To make this happen we need every class to be represented. Ideally, we would like every former I-1 Commander to plan on attending the 2019 reunion. You are also asked to be the point person for your class. We will be reaching out to you to help promote. In some cases, this may not be possible, so volunteers are needed for every class to contact classmates.
Funding: There will be some additional expenses associated with the 50th Reunion so everyone may be asked for a little extra support as the plans are formed. It will be much appreciated! There is a place on the 2019 online registration to make a donation towards the 50th anniversary reunion.
Look forward to seeing all of you in just a few short weeks.
NEVER SAY DIE!!
