Thank you Marcia and our 80s donors! Many graduates from the 1980s have fond memories of gatherings in the Mary Washington “Pub”, which is now called the Underground of Lee Hall. The pub was particularly popular during the 80s because the legal drinking age for wine and beer was 18, allowing for spirited gatherings for students. In honor of those fun times (and dollars spent in the Pub), Marcia Guida ’83 is challenging alumni of the 80s. If we receive $1,500 in gifts to the Fund for Mary Washongton from alumni of 1980-1989 between 8pm and 10pm, Marcia will make a gift of $1,500 to support student scholarships. Alumni of the 80s make your gift today and help support our current and future students!
