ATTENTION ALL CHAPTER ORGANIZERS AND FUNDRAISERS!

Join us for a National Support Antioch College Weekend August 17-19, 2007!

In preparation for the upcoming Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 26th, all chapter alumni groups are urged to come together during the weekend before at positive, awareness-building, and media attracting events at this critical time. Help us put together a festive weekend throughout the country by doing a fundraising event at your local alumni chapter August 17th through August 19th. Let’s show our support en masse for keeping Antioch College open! Stay tuned for more information as we roll out a marketing plan, but for now here are the important bullets to begin planning around.

What: A national fundraising event to save Antioch College!

When: The weekend of August 17-19, 2007

Where: An Antioch College alumni chapter or fundraising event in a city near you!

-Kristen Pett, ‘90, Alumni Board Member, Development Committee

Greetings fellow Antiochians!

The North Carolina Alumni Chapter invites you to join us on Thursday, July 19th at 7:00 pm for a special event! We will be hosting special guests Arthur Zucker, Chair of the Antioch University Board of Trustees, and Risa Grimes, Director of Institutional Advancement for Antioch College.

We are very pleased to have them join us and we anticipate a lively and informative evening. For those of you who may have missed the reunion, this would be an excellent opportunity to get the scoop on what’s behind the University Board’s decision to close the doors at Antioch and make your voice heard. Anyone is welcome to join us for this meeting; you do not have to be from the NC area. If need be, we may be able to scare up a couch for someone to crash on if you have a long way to come to get here. The main thing is… BE here!

Questions are desired in advance of Thursdays meeting for the Board Chair. They may be submitted to Amy or send them via reply all. amykfoust

The meeting will take place at Sigma Xi, The Society for Scientific Research:
