The donor visitation trip to Albuquerque last week was very productive, including meetings with alumni Brenda McKenna and Joseph Pappe. CWU has 40 alums in the Albuquerque area and 10 in Santa Fe.

Several members of the McConnell family are in town to attend the ceremony for the Milo Smith Tower Theatre and will be having dinner with the president tonight. The renaming dedication ceremony is tomorrow evening.

Annual appeals update: the mailing to all non-donors did not produce the results that were hoped for. In the future, mailings will be sent to non-donors and donors will be called, which is more cost effective.
