Due to a printing error, newsletters were not forwarded to you if you have moved or your address has changed. This also means that we will NOT receive ANY returns giving us your new address information. Please send any new address information for you, your family or friends as soon as possible to email address changes.

“What is ‘Insuring the Future’? When this newsletter started in 1992, the first issue was a whooping four pages, sent to ten classes and around 1,000 newsletters. Now it is at least 16 pages, 70+ classes and 7,500 newsletters. This is a huge project which has necessitated hiring a part-time assistant director. Camy Bradley ‘80 makes over 1,300 address changes a year, works to get the newsletter typed and published and much more. Over 100 volunteers help get the newsletter to you. However, this office position is critical to the continuation of the newsletter into the future. By the year 2010, we must have a paid director for the newsletter (Unless someone would like to volunteer). Please consider giving to “Insuring the Future” to make this need a reality.
