From Bethanne (Graefe) Seufert:

NICE/NCJC Friends, By now you should have received your postcard announcing the upcoming reunion in August (22-24 at Camp Manatawny). If your postcard was forwarded to you, please message me so I can update your info.

If you HAVEN'T received your postcard, message me because it probably means I DON'T have your correct info! In fact, message me just for fun so that I'm sure I have your correct class year, etc! 😁

And most, importantly... REGISTER! 🥳 See you in August!

October 4, 1968 from the York, Pa. Gazette & Daily newspaper. Congrats to Paul Jacoby and the other "invaders from Villanova." 😂

July, 1960--just over 64 years ago--Brother Don Camp of South Barre, Vermont was recognized for his generosity to NICE and the Church of Christ. Don and wife Mable gave lumber from their farm to build the local church, his gift of land was used for the minister's home, and in an incredible gesture, Don willed his estate to NICE.

Who knows how many of us were blessed, directly or indirectly, by his actions? What a legacy of love and faithfulness.
❤️🙏

Sad news...Ramona Rooker, married to Lloyd Draper, passed on Mother's Day, with her family around her. God bless her, and Lloyd...and, family, for the life she lived. May the Lord receive her gladly, and comfort her.

As we prepare to gather for the NICE/NCJC reunion, Thomas Fowler (a.k.a. "Dad") offered to send NCJC's first-ever yearbook...the 1959-1960 Northeastern Institute for Christian Education (N.I.C.E.) annual along with us.

It has aged pretty well, considering it's several years older than Dad's oldest child (and I'm a GRANDMOTHER lol!), and my husband and I went back and forth on bringing it, but in the end, it just seemed too precious so please enjoy the entire annual at the link below!

Dad Thomas Fowler also sent the 1960-1961 annual which is in a little better condition and WILL be at our reunion! For the first-ever edition, however, please enjoy these photos and this walk down Villanova's own Memory Lane. ❤
