Progress Report - 1956 Niwmx\\ Fund
To the Alumni of Lycoming College:
The following is a progress report for the 1956 Alumni Fund
as of March 31, 1956:
185 CONTRIBUTIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $2,055.00
The first mailing has gone out from the various Class Agents
and from the Alumni Office. The second is on its way. The
third will be sent May 14, 1956. On the basis of the first mail-ing,
we have had a 4.3% return.
It is at this point that your Alumni Association wishes to
place emphasis on this year's Alumni Fund. It is hoped that
each Alumnus will feel this concern to the extent that he or she
will forward his contribution now no matter how small or
large. We are striving for a greater percentage of Alumni
participation.
You will be interested, we are sure, in knowing that 68 of
the 185 contributors gave for the first time to Lycoming College.
This is indeed an encouraging sign and one that means much
to the growth of our Alumni Fund.
We want to thank those who have thus far contributed;
and to those who have not, let us count on your gift now!
