Dear VNR-Alumni Relations:
Enclosed is the most recently updated listing of all AGRs from your chapter. It includes their work information and serves several important functions. Please:
1) Check over any recent address changes for corrections and send all updates to the Home Office.
a. Alumni Update Forms are available on request, see attached sample.
b. Send correction to Home Office by mail or phone (816)891-9200,
or e-mail Nicole@AlphaGammaRho.org
2) Develop and arrange Alumni functions by geographic areas for the Spring and Summer.
3) Make an effort to capture and send us all email address corrections.
4) Develop and arrange Alumni functions by geographic areas for the Spring and Summer.
5) Establish regional areas for Chapter and Alumni Association fund raising efforts.
6) Assign recruitment visits to Alumni who live in each prospect’s home area for the Spring and Summer.
7) Encourage members of your chapter to personally visit alumni.
8) Invite alumni to the chapter for dinner.
National Constitution requires that we send this printout each Spring because current Alumni files are a must for effective Chapter communications. Automatically sending the inexpensive printouts is the best route to good programs.
If you have lists that are more than one month old, we suggest you throw them away, since hundreds of address changes come into the Home Office directly from Alumni each month. In addition, a directory publishing company has gathered addresses, telephone numbers, and work information from thousands of Alumni that are now entered into the Home Office computerized membership files. A company has also been retained to find additional lost Alumni.
We need your continued help by sending to the Home Office any new Alumni information so that we can guarantee the most accurate Alumni files available. Even if you have your own database of Alumni, it's important to send all address changes, new telephone numbers, email addresses or work information to the Home Office to insure prompt receipt of SICKLE & SHEAF by your Alumni.
When you need mailing labels quickly, we can deliver -- usually within four days. Labels are offered at $.05 per name. A service that we offer is a computer disk containing your alumni listings. If this would be helpful to you, let us know and we'll put one together for you. The cost is $25 plus $.05 per name for a disk. We also offer lists of alumni by mail or e-mail at $.05 per name.
Let's all work together for even better Alumni relations!
Fraternally,
