Invitations
Every Palmer member is invited to Homecoming Brunch. Both Electronic and Paper invites are sent.
However, electronic brunch invitations are sent to the vast majority of Palmer alumnae. This is due impart to survey results demonstrating that that 88 percent of respondents were not interested in paying higher brunch prices in order to receive printed invitations. This feedback was taken to heart in an effort to help mitigate the overall rising costs of brunch.
Paper invitations are sent to:
- Alumnae celebrating reunion years (graduation years ending in 2 and 7 for 2017)
- Graduates of the last decade
- Recent homecoming attendees (2002-present).
Those members who are not in these above categories and our Green Homecoming volunteers will receive an electronic invite if they have an email address registered with Whittier College or the Palmer Society. Members who do not have an email registered are welcome to request their invitation at thepalmersociety@yahoo.com or update their information using the Census page.
