Welcome to the Foundation Donor E-newsletter

 

   With many activities going on to celebrate the College's Centennial, we feel it is important to keep you apprised of upcoming opportunities, on and off campus. However, we don't want to overwhelm you so we will introduce only the closest events. 

 

   August 5-6 will welcome in the Alumni Reunion Weekend. This fun and activity-packed weekend will be held on and off campus for the first time in over a decade. A great deal of thought and energy has been put into organizing this family-friendly gathering-class reunions, campus tours, river trips, a train ride, a social get-together, entertainment, games and arts and crafts. Selfishly we want as many alumni and their family members to be part of the excitement of being on campus again and renewing old friendships.

 

   We hope that you will put Fort Lewis College down as a definite vacation destination. It will be worth your while, we promise. If you ever have any questions about these events or any others, I would be happy to talk with you. I can be reached at 970-247-7177.  

 

Warmly,

Margie
