Please Click here for the formal invitation and response card. 
There is a special Ned Heberger Student Fund that is being established at the University of Connecticut Real Estate Center in honor of Ned.Ned Often attributes his passion for the real estate and appraisal business to the UConn Real Estate Program and, more specially, his relationship with the late Dr. William N. Kinnard, Jr., a former Director and Founder of the Real Estate program at UConn. Knowing this background, Ned's friends felt establishing an endowed fund at UConn for the program he is so devoted to would be a special way of honoring both Ned and his career. The Ned Heberger Student Fund is created to recognize the many contributions of Ned Heberger to the Connecticut real estate community over the past 50 years. Proceeds from the Fund will be used to offer scholarships and program support for the Real Estate Center here at the University of Connecticut's School of Business in honor of Ned. If you know Ned, please consider joining us at the Hartford Club for what will surely be a fun and festive evening filled with stories and memories of Ned's distinguished career and making your own personal contribution toward the Ned Heberger Student Fund. |
