The Princeton Class of 1971 Fall 2009 Dues Letter

Monday, January 11, 2010

Once again, the fall brings a series of mailings asking for all sorts of Princeton-related giving. These include letters and e-mails soliciting us for Class Dues, our Class of ’71 Foundation, the Saving the Wild Life Fund (STWLF), as well as university-wide requests for Annual Giving and, occasionally, the University’s capital requests. Of course, you can add to that gift requests from eating clubs, Friends organizations, as well as regional and other local Princeton organizations.

In this Treasurer’s letter, I’d like to focus primarily on class dues, though I’ll mention some of the other class-related areas where contributions continue to be important ...

The Fall 2009 President’s Letter to the Princeton Class of 1971

Friday, September 11, 2009

Olivia, Lynn, and Bill Lewis '71 "... The past 12 months were tumultuous in the economy and on the political landscape, but the running of the Class went smoothly once again. Our system of using regular conference calls to discuss the full range of class activities among the class officer group continues to work well, and has been boosted by input from several former class officers. Our class hasn’t had the reputation for cohesion and annual giving that some have had – and that’s regrettable – but our officer group is dedicated, hard-working and has been very effective in coordinating events and communication.

Rich Hollingsworth, our Treasurer and de facto Chief Financial Officer, notes that our tiered dues initiative, which gives classmates a choice of giving levels, was once again successful in eliciting a range of donations. (Coincidentally, yes, there is a dues appeal in this envelope that we hope you’ll act on. There is more information on dues later in this letter as well.)"
