Class of ’79 Contributions to the 2004 Dartmouth College Fund Dear Classmates, The message from us is simple: this is the 25th Reunion Year. If you are ever going to make a donation to the Dartmouth College Fund, now is the time. We need generosity and participation. Our goals are $4 million with 72% participation. (If we reach the participation mark, we will have set a new Dartmouth record for 25th Reunion participation levels.)   It is not cheap to provide Dartmouth students with the quality experience that they receive, and as you know, tuition covers only about half of the cost. Dartmouth depends a great deal on alumni support and depends more than ever on the Reunion classes in particular. Please take the initiative now and contact Dartmouth at the contact information listed below. If you act on your own now, it will allow the class volunteers to focus their efforts on those classmates who need the extra nudge. If you do get a call or e-mail from a classmate helping with the fundraising participation process, please treat them kindly. Here is the relevant info: you can use a credit card either by calling 1-800-228-1769 or by using the web site https://www.dartmouthcollegefund.org/ALUM_give.htm. If you want to send a check, make it payable to: The Dartmouth College Fund and mail it to: The Dartmouth College Fund c/o Gift Recording Office 6066 Development Office Hanover, NH 03755 If you want to do a stock transfer, call the College Investment Office toll-free at 877-650-6956 to get the necessary info.
