Dr. Craig Hancock retirement gift

UPDATE (5/20): To help us reach our goal, a generous WCCB alum who wants to remain anonymous is going to MATCH every dollar until we get to our goal of $1,000. THANK YOU, mystery person! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, Band! I'm Steph (Robbins) Boeding, a 1999 Wartburg alum. I'm helping Dr. Hancock plan a retirement reception on May 25, 2022 -- and also want to secretly collect money to give him a retirement gift for any who would like to contribute!

 

In talking with Doc, he and Elizabeth are hoping to do some traveling that they have put off during Doc's working years. The funds raised are meant for him and Elizabeth to go and travel and enjoy this next chapter of their lives. We'll plan to reveal this gift at the May 25 concert, which is the VERY FINAL concert that Doc is conducting with the Wind Ensemble. We have special speakers lined up, and it will be a unique concert (bring some Kleenex!).

If you are planning to attend the concert and reception, please let us know at the Facebook Event link so we can plan for enough refreshments. WHEN: Wednesday, May 25, following the 6:30 p.m. Wind Ensemble concert. Reception will be in the Bachman Fine Arts Center lobby and in the Band Hall. Link to RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/380030183583982

We'd love for some alumni to say a few words at the reception... we'll have a microphone ready!

If you can't attend the concert, please watch live or later on demand: livestream.com/wartburgknightvision

If you have any questions about the event or the gift, please message me. It will be wonderful to have everyone together who has been impacted by Doc's career. All are invited whether you knew him through Wartburg, Wayne State, Graceland, Simpson or the Lamoni School District. Let's show him how much he means to us!
