A Note From Home.....
Thankful for YOU!
Sometimes this time of year can seem overwhelming. So much to do, so many events to attend, presents to buy, decorating to do. I find that the "shoulds" of life can get overwhelming. When this feeling comes, its time to take a step back and prioritize. What's important? It's not marking tasks off of my never-ending to-do list (although that does feel GOOD!) It is truly taking time to appreciate this great life that God has given me and the great people I get to do it with. That includes YOU our alumni and friends. We are blessed to be a part of this community...it is a gift that we share.
For ME, the best gift ever given came as a precious baby on Christmas morning bringing joy, peace, love and hope to the world. May your life be filled with joy today and throughout the coming year.

 Alumni Directory Project to Launch in 2020
The Alumni Development Office is excited to announce plans for a comprehensive alumni directory project that will launch in February of 2020. Alumni will be receiving information on how to submit their contact information and be included. The company we are working with is PCI. For nearly 100 years, Publishing Concepts (PCI) has partnered with colleges, universities, fraternities, sororities, public and private high schools, and associations and service organizations of all sorts to engage their alumni and membership. They connect with members, update and expand their personal profiles, learn about their lives, and collect their stories on behalf of the Alumni/Development Office. They collect data and stories and publish directories. Be on the lookout for emails and postcards coming your way in the early months of 2020. This is a 12 month project that will result in an updated alumni directory that will be available for purchase.
