Special
Thank You
The
Parents Program volunteers and staff would like to extend special thanks to our
outgoing Parents Council co-chairs, Joanne and Bill St. Denis (parents of
Patrick '03). For two years, Joanne and Bill have encouraged us to reach out
more to our parents and have been great supporters of our Parents Program
Office in its infancy. We thank them for their enthusiasm and strong leadership
(and are very pleased that they plan to stay involved)!

Annual
Giving Staff : Ready
to Work With You
Have
you ever wanted to volunteer for Union, but didn't know how? Have you ever
promised to keep in touch with your classmates, but never been able to do it?
Do you want to do both, but not have a lot of spare time?
Well,
the Union College Annual Giving staff has the answers!
We've
got some great opportunities to get involved as a Head Agent or Class Agent
with your class. It doesn't require a huge commitment of time, you are able to
keep in contact with classmates and friends, and you help Union with its very
important fund raising efforts.
If you
are interested, please contact the Office of Annual Giving at 1-888-THE-IDOL
x6175. We're ready, willing, and excited to work with you.
