Dear Alumni, Family & Friends,
One of the goals for the 2007-2008 Alumni Association Board of
Officers is to better acquaint you with your Alumni Association. The
Alumni Connection magazine is a wonderful vehicle for achieving that
goal. We hope you will agree.
To keep you informed about your Alumni Association, we wanted to
mention our Mission Statement. Please contact me with any ideas that
you might have to help us promote this mission. I can be reached via
e-mail at: ddages@stvm.com
Your input and information is important to us. Please take a moment
and fill out the reply card that is included in this magazine. We are
interested in hearing from you.
