| Hello! Alumni and Friends, |
 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I hope Santa brings you everything you are wishing for. Our wish in the Alumni and Foundation Office, is that your New Year is prosperous and joyous! We have moved into our new offices, located on the third floor of the new Jones Hall building, and we have settled in for a long stay. This is a spectacular building and we are very appreciative of our new 'home.'
Please check out some of our new items of interest on our web page, JCJC Alumni Web Page, like the opportunity to give online. The Foundation's Capital Fundraising Campaign is doing well since the public launch last spring, however we would love for everyone to have the opportunity to invest in Jones County Junior College, the futures of our students and this region.
Sincerely,
Caroline Ramagos
