For the Class of 1969’s 47th Reunion Annual Giving campaign the Class raised $322,294 from 394 classmates.  This dollar result is the largest amount we have ever raised during a non major reunion campaign year.  Thanks to everyone who participated!  A special thanks to the following classmates who helped out with our efforts to reach out to as many classmates as possible:  Bob Axelrod, Tom Culp, Bill Earle, Mike Gehret, Paul Hanle, Bruce Rosenberg, Bob Raymar, Gary Sikes, Paul Sittenfeld, Brooke Stoddard, and Jim Warden. 

The less great news is participation.   This year we continued a downward trend in the percentage of classmates who support Princeton through Annual Giving.  Our trend is:  45th: 69.5%; 46th: 59.7%, and our 47th campaign this year: 54.9%.  Your AG Team and I are committed, with your help, to reversing this trend and building a stronger participation base as we build momentum for the 50^th.  If you want to join in on the fun of the AG Team, please contact me at bfreeman@princeton.edu.

I look forward to talking with many of you over the next 11 months.
