First off the Capital Campaign has tipped $70,000 in pledges! That is 35% of our goal, so no time to rest we need to find those brothers that have not contributed yet. We are trying to track down the other 826 alumni. So far we have had 90 brothers that have contributed to the campaign.
Here are the numbers:
1290 alumni
Updated address - 390
Lost address (no contact info) - 23
Unknown (outdated address) - 826
Deceased - 74
With an email - 483
The average pledge per donor is $777, but I can tell you that the most common amount pledged is the $100-$499 range. So what does this mean, if every remaining member gives a one time gift of $100 we would reach our goal!
One response we received from the last mailer was from our oldest living brother.
Oldest living brother - Harold Weary, class of 1933. 105 years young!
We will be having a Housing Corporation board meeting in January, so if you have any questions or concerns please let me know so we can address them at the meeting. Want to join the board? Let us know and as soon as there is a vacancy we will get you plugged in.
Next year we will be having a spotlight each month on a board member, an alumni, and an active. So be sure to subscribe to the blog and keep your address updated.
Check out the new page: Actives Wish List
The actives will be posting things they could use around the house. So if you have extra lend a hand.
Look for an automated call from us next year, we have a lot of phone numbers so we will be going through them all to find these "lost" brothers.
