The payment for food and beer at the parties is NOT tax deductible. However, there are both state and federal tax deductions allowed for sponsorship payments. If you live in Indiana you get a 50% credit on donations up to $200, $400 for joint returns, plus the federal deduction. Those checks should also be sent to Joe, payable to Purdue University with Rugby Club on the comment line.

The official Hotel for the weekend will be the University Plaza on Northwestern. We used it in 1995 too. It has been updated recently, and has excellent areas to meet in small groups and a nice new bar. The room rate will be $96 for as many nights as you wish. Mention Rugby Reunion. There are less expensive hotels, Google them if you need the savings.

Many international, national, regional and local rugby stars are threatening to return for this PURFC ReUnion! On behalf of the 40th Reunion Planning Committee we invite you to come back to Purdue to celebrate 40 years of PURFC and to catch up with the many great personalities and friends from the most fun period of your life!
