Dear Friends,

I am pleased to extend a personal invitation to visit Haverford College during Family & Friends Weekend, Friday through Sunday, October 28- 30, 2011. Events are planned for all three days, but you should feel free to attend all or any part of the weekend activities. This occasion will provide an opportunity for parents, grandparents, siblings and friends to meet members of the College community and to engage in the unique Haverford experience.

This year, the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we have the distinct pleasure of hearing Howard Lutnick '83, Chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, share his story and the Cantor story of resilience, rebuilding and triumph after the attacks on the World Trade Center. An underlying theme is the role of Haverford College and the impact of our shared values on all that transpired.

I hope that Howard's talk on Saturday morning, the range of offerings throughout the weekend, and of course the chance to visit your Ford and to meet his or her friends, will encourage you to attend. I look forward to welcoming you to campus for this very special weekend.
