Renovation Master Plan

Ball Nurses' Sunken Garden

Updated: 10-14-08

Flo has been conserved and again looks beautiful.   Flo's renewal served as a "jump-start" for rehabilitation of the Ball Nurses' Sunken Garden and Convalescent Park.   We feel confident that Flo  will be returned to her rightful place of honor in the garden before the IU School of Nursing's 100th Anniversary in 2014.  What a wonderful record!                  

We hope that every member of every IU School of             NursingClass recalls all the good things about their school     experiences, and honors themselves and their class by giving something back to the School.                                      .    .  

We feel very positive about this campaign to restore the garden/park.  Please tell everyone you know about it.   The experience has been that as people learn about this project, they have voiced unanimous approval - we think that approval will translate into good financial support when the campaign becomes public.

Planning the 50th Reunion

Plans for the 50th Reunion are in progress.  The dates for the Reunion are Friday, May 15, 2009 for a dinner for those who can make that event, and Saturday, May 16, 2009 for a morning coffee, lunch with all of the other honored classes.  We are looking into the opportunities for tours (we want everyone to see Flo) time for lots of conversation and reminiscing, and a Saturday evening meal for those still present.  Please let one of the above classmates know  if you have ideas and suggestions.  The reunion will be what we plan for it to be, and our goal is to make it memorable and enjoyable.
