    Philanthropy – Here is your opportunity to donate!!!  We would like to make a donation to a local charity in memory of our deceased classmates, provide a scholarship to one or two senior West students towards college, and/or refurbish “Home of West Regents – Class of 1976” outside the large gym.

    Send your donation checks made out to “West Class of 76” to Laurie (Johnson) Alioto, 6013 Driftwood, Madison, WI  53705.

    In addition to our reunion, there are many other events in Madison to add to your experience – Farmers Market, Art Fair on the Square to name a couple. It should be a very fun weekend.
