Inspire, Fall 1997

From The Director's Chair C reating your dream job. Doing all the things you love. Making a reality all the great ideas you have, but never have time to do. Did you ever wish you could do any of these? I have! And during the summer,the opportunity for me to do so evolved. I have officially resigned my duties as director of alumni relations for Cedarville College, effective as soon as a new director is hired or January I, 1998, whichever comes first. And are you ready for the great part? If all transition of leadership goes smoothly,I will accept a new position in the Alumni Office as part-time assistant director. I look forward to having more time to converse one-on-one with Cedarville alumni and share the growth and development of our alma mater with you. God is so good to have provided me with a seven-year career I love. And now,He shows His goodness again by providing me with the opportunity to continue serving alumni in a part- time capacity and spending more days, hours,and moments of unrecoverable time with my two precious boys! Looking forward to a bright future for our Alumni Association, Jane Adams Smith '84 Director for now Shane(1)and Nicholas(2)with Mommy. 50%1L\L)° 1/2 ) HALF \ as it 6-00, F f/2 HALF OF!! Y es, that's right. Half of. Half of all Cedarville College graduates have given a gift toward the Annual Fund of Cedarville College within the last five years. If you include those who gave toward the Ministry Center Campaign,the number is even higher. These numbers represent a significant achievement and quite a testament to the confidence you have in Cedarville and in current students. Your gifts help make a Cedarville College education affordable for students. Every gift to the Annual Fund, no matter the dollar amount, helps support deserving students. During 1997-98,gifts toward the Annual Fund will help keep more than $500 from appearing on every student's annual bill. That is a substantial savings! Your participation is vital! Our goal is to have 50 percent of alumni give to the Annual Fund this school year. PARTNERS '97-98 begins September 29 at a mailbox near you. We hope you will help us raise the standard, but even more, we hope you will stand as a partner with the students of Cedarville College! 2FALL'97 r-vi GLAD in Concert I/I Reunions for classes ending in 2and 7 Limited Edition Artwork Debut 71 All Alumni Chapel Homecoming Parade Faculty-Alumni Breakfast Homecoming Praise Concert featuring the Cedarville College Department of Music ji Food Court Luncheon 1, Christian Youth Education Reunion FV1 Soccer Games Welcome Alumni Dessert Reception 5K Road Run Alumni Tennis Match and Reunion Consult your Homecoming brochure for full details.
