Franconia College Reunionship Fund

Over the course of fifteen years, Franconia College (aka The Sin on the Hill/Fat City) shook and shaped the lives of perhaps 4,500 adventurous souls. Some quickly moved on, many left after graduating while others made the North Country their home. For a lot of us, connection to this crazy, brilliant, exasperating and exhilarating time hasn't faded away.   

The rambling and ramshackled buildings are gone, but that doesn't break the bond or dampen our curiosity about how each other's lives have unfolded. This summer we will reunite in Bethlehem. Like the iconic Old Man of the Mountains, we can't be sure if/when we will have this opportunity again before we, too, depart for the big Main Building in the Sky.

Sadly, like the Dining Room when it went all meal tickety, there is no free lunch. The reunion has costs (the venue, entertainment, printing, etc.) associated with putting on this three-day party, and these get passed on to attendees.

But we don't want that to keep people from being there.That's why we've launched this GFM effort. Donated funds (minus the 8% fee charged by GFM) will be used to assist those dealing with financial hardships that limited their ability to attend the reunion. Financial support raised through this site will go to cover a person's registration fee and, if needed, Saturday evening's meal at The Maplewood.  

So, if you are in a position to help another Fc-er return to celebrate with us, please contribute what you can to our Reunionship Fund.

Anyone wishing to apply for financial assistance, contact Natalie at [email redacted]. All funds will be awarded on a 'first come, first served' basis.
