'Tis the Season...

Greetings, 1999ers!

I am writing to extend a friendly reminder to consider a gift or pledge to our alma mater during the holidays.

Who am I? I am a Class Gift Agent for our class and am also a member of the Ginny Glover Society, which means I have donated to Smith every year since graduation. I hope you will join me in giving back to Smith this year.

Historically, our class has slacked a bit in giving back financially. We're doing better this year, but it would be nice to outshine classes that graduated after us. At the very least, consider a gift of $19.99, to honor our year of graduation. While the amount is not insignificant, participation is more important (in my opinion).

I used the online system last year - and again last week. It is convenient and easy.

If you are wondering why you should give to Smith, remember...What alums gave while we were students helped to benefit us. For more details, visit http://www.smith.edu/future/funds/facts.php

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

TO THOSE WHOM I CALL UPON: If you make a donation online, please shoot me an e-mail to let me know you submitted your pledge or gift via the Internet. It will take a few weeks for me to get a report from Smith, and I won't call if I know you gave.
