Chimes Ring for Lauinger

The Chimes are the oldest singing group at Georgetown. Joseph Mark Lauinger (C'67) was a member, and there is a longstanding relationship between the Chimes and the library. In 1990, the Chimes Endowment Fund was created by Chimes and Library Advisory Council member David J. Walsh (C'58) to support the library's general acquisitions. In 1995, the Chimes celebrated their 50th anniversary, and in October, 1996, they held a 50th anniversary concert in Gaston Hall with all proceeds directed to the Chimes Endowment Fund. Each December, the Chimes perform for the Associates during the annual holiday party in Riggs Library. The holidays would not be as special without their voices.

The library staff would like to thank the Chimes for all their support over the years, with a special thank you to David Walsh who has made so much of this possible. So far this fiscal year, 87 donors have contributed $41,505.00 to the endowment fund.
