Its
been a
long
time
since we
were
students
at the 'Tute.
And
let's be
realistic:
some of
us have
never
returned
a cent
to RPI
since we
graduated.
For all
of you
that fit
into
this
group
(be
honest
now!) we
have an
idea:
Why not
contribute
just $1
for each
year
since
graduation
– only a
$45
gift?
With
your
help we
can put
together
a
meaningful
class
gift,
without
burdening
anyone.
To
make
this
idea
even
more
meaningful,
we have
rounded
up a
group of
dedicated
class
members
who have
agreed
to match
all the
$45
contributions
that we
raise
during
this
effort.
That's
right --
your $45
becomes
$90
towards
the
Class
Gift --
in honor
of our
reunion!
And
there's
another
factor
to
consider:
You may
not be
aware
that a
significant
factor
in the
national
college
rankings
is the
percentage
of
alumni
that
contribute
to the
school –
not the
amount
of money
raised,
but the
number
of alums
who
contribute.
Here the
'Tute
does not
do very
well,
and we’d
like to
see that
change
--
especially
for our
class.
So how
about it
-- just
go to
www.alumni.rpi.edu/give
and make
your
tax-deductible
$45
contribution
now
toward
our
class
gift in
honor of
our
45th.
And
thank
you for
your
help!
See you
in Troy!
