I hope this letter finds you and your family well. I’m writing to you today about one of my favorite 

topics (and probably yours) -- membership mailing plan selection! Okay, maybe it’s not one of 

your favorite topics, but given the importance of membership mailings, now’s the best time to start 

planning to maximize results for your class this year. 

Your class dues payers provide direct support for the communications, programs, scholarships 

and other activities of your class. From a broader perspective, it’s important to remember how vital 

class membership is to the success of Cornell as a whole. Alumni participation is a crucial part of the 

University’s ability to sustain existing programs and implement new initiatives. Class membership 

is a key part of cultivating alumni interest and provides a tangible way for people to feel personally 

connected to Cornell’s past, present, and future. When you encourage classmates to become dues 

paying members, you’re asking them to stand up and identify themselves as alumni who are proud to 

be Cornellians and have a stake in our University’s future. 

Since we know this is a busy time of year for everyone, we’ve made the creation of a winning 

plan as simple as possible. Building on last year’s popularity and success, you’ll find the most recent 

edition of the Ezra Plan in the 2011 Guidelines and Templates booklet. The Ezra Plan remains the 

easiest and most attractive way to reconnect your classmates and the University. Among the benefits 

of this year’s Ezra Plan is an option to utilize a special tip-on for the Cornell Alumni Magazine 

which has been designed to help minimize the number of classmates who forget to renew their 

memberships. 

We’ve also made your job easier by highlighting the Cornell Class Dues Payer Rewards Program – 

a whole group of discounts and benefits your classmates will receive just for paying their Class Dues! 

Be sure to check them out on the website www.alumni.cornell.edu/classes. 

Not sure where to begin? Don’t worry. There’s lots of help available. One of the strongest 

determinants of class membership cycle success is the punctuality and regularity of your mailings. 

Your class contact and the membership staff in Alumni Affairs, your CACO Board representative, and 

your fellow class officers are all sources of support, which can help you plan a timely and effective 

set of mailings. You may also visit the CACO website at http://www.alumni.cornell.edu/caco/ 

membership.cfm to view the Ezra Plan online. Remember, the sooner you return your plan to Alumni 

Affairs, the more prompt your mailings will be. 

The annual selection of your class membership plan is an exciting time to revitalize the energy 

of your class and open the lines of communication. Now is the time to set the stage for a productive 

and active year. On behalf of the CACO Board, I want to thank you for your efforts on behalf of the 

University and for your attention to this important initiative. 

With warm regards, 

Nathan Connell ’01 

Vice President of Membership, CACO Board

Dear Classmate: 


1st notice-Letter to entire class 

Over the years, each of us has built many diverse and rewarding 

connections with our beloved Cornell. I feel so fortunate to be part 

of a university community that offers me new ideas, interests, and 

involvements no matter where I am in life. But one involvement that 

never fades into the past is my cherished bond with the Class of XXXX. 

Our shared history, memories, friendships, traditions, and life experiences 

are the foundation of who we are as Cornellians. 

I would like to ask you to help me and my fellow class volunteers keep 

this bond strong. When you pay your class dues, you give us the means to 

sponsor class activities and events that help us stay connected across the 

miles and years. 

Your dues also give you a one-year subscription to Cornell Alumni 

Magazine, which keeps you in the know about campus happenings, 

intriguing alumni of all ages, and your friends’ life events in the class 

notes. As an added benefit, you receive special members-only access to 

online seminars with some of Cornell’s most intriguing professors and 

leaders, as well as a suite of discounts on purchases and activities on 

campus, in Ithaca, and with companies throughout the country. 

Please renew your Class of 19XX connection today. You can return the 

enclosed dues card, along with your check or credit card information 

using the return envelope provided. Or you can pay the dues online with 

a credit card. Simply visit alumni.cornell.edu/classes and the site will lead 

you through the steps. 

Together we can keep our class a vibrant, thriving community! 

Sincerely, 

Alex Vollmer 

Membership Chair

go by without receiving the wonderful tangible and intangible rewards that come with being an active member of 

our Class of XXXX. 

You probably are aware of dues-payer benefits like the one-year subscription to Cornell Alumni Magazine and the 

various discounts available to members. Are you also aware of the fact that class dues are our class’s source 

of funding for a year’s worth of fantastic programs, parties, communications, and other ways of keeping us all 

connected? Or that class membership is one of the ways Cornell is able to take stock of alumni participation in the 

life of the university? 

As with the classes that came before us, the Class of ’XX has contributed in ways large and small to the history of 

Cornell. Help us continue to renew and strengthen that contribution—and help us offer meaningful opportunities 

to connect with one another and with our shared past. Something simple, like becoming an active member of our 

class, can do quite a lot of good. 

I hope you will take a moment today to renew your membership. You can return the form below, along with your 

check, in the enclosed envelope. Or you can pay the dues online with a credit card. Simply visit alumni.cornell.

Now that we’ve been out of school for X years, what memories do you 

find yourself sharing about Cornell? Do you talk about courses that 

challenged you to leave behind your old limitations? Professors who 

inspired you? Friends whose kept you laughing? Discoveries about 

yourself and your world? 

Cornell gave all of us connections to people, ideas, and experiences that 

changed our lives. It can do that for us as alumni, too. All we have to do is 

stay connected. 

How? One easy way is to become an official member of the Class of XXXX. 

This year our class dues are only $X—a great bargain for all we get from 

the class in return. Each year, our dues give us: 

• Social and professional networking opportunities designed by our 

class volunteers, for our interests 

• Participation in exclusive members-only webinars conducted by 

Cornell professors and administrators 

• News and other communications from and about our class 

• A one-year subscription to Cornell Alumni Magazine 

• Discounts and rewards redeemable at Cornell, in Ithaca, and 

across the U.S. 

• A voice in our class’s ongoing relationship to Cornell 

Your Cornell relationship isn’t over after graduation; it just evolves into 

something new. Make sure you make the most of this new stage: visit 

alumni.cornell.edu/classes to pay your class dues, send us updates about 

your life, and review your membership rewards. Your 7-digit alumni ID is 

located above your name and address label when paying online. 

I look forward to connecting with you soon!

catch up, the Class of XXXX organization helps you stay

Once a Cornellian, Always a Cornellian 

It’s true: No matter how many twists and turns 

our lives take after graduation, there remains a 

part of us that is forever, irreducibly, Cornellian. 

It was there that our minds, our beliefs, our 

careers, even our personal relationships, took on 

new shapes and directions. 

You can stay connected with the people who 

shared those formative years with you by 

renewing official membership in our class. In 

return, your class volunteers will work hard to 

keep the relationship alive and rewarding—by 

putting together a whole new set of opportunities 

to learn, explore, create, and progress to our next 

milestones together. 

This is your final invitation this year to pay the 

Class of XXXX dues and reap all the rewards that 

membership brings. 

Don’t miss out!

I hope you are looking forward to our Xth Reunion as much as I am. 

When our class gets together on campus this coming June, we will have so 

many memories, connections, and new stories to share and celebrate. 

To get ready for the big weekend, our fantastic Class of XXXX volunteers 

are giving even more of their time and talent than usual. All year they 

will be planning activities and events just for us so that we can have the 

best Reunion possible, and they will be attending meetings and training 

sessions with Cornell staff so that they can learn the ins and outs of 

pulling off a phenomenal weekend. 

As classmates, we can support their effort by making sure we pay our 

class dues. Our payments cover the cost of communications to our 

classmates about Reunion as well as for the training our volunteers 

receive. Plus, you’ll also get the usual class membership rewards, like 

a year’s subscription to Cornell Alumni Magazine and a suite of great 

discounts and special offers. 

Please renew your membership today and help us make sure the Class 

of XXXX has a truly memorable Reunion. You can return the form below, 

along with your check, in the enclosed envelope. Or you can pay the dues 

online with a credit card. Simply visit alumni.cornell.edu/classes and the 

site will lead you through the steps.

Being a Cornellian has helped each of us connect with some 

fascinating—even life-changing—people, opportunities, and 

ideas over the years. Membership in the Class of 19XX is one 

of the most meaningful of those connection points, and I’m so 

excited that this year we will celebrate our XXth Reunion. 

This year, the resources we make available through our dues 

payments our dues will help our class volunteers craft a 

phenomenal Reunion weekend for us and also will cover the 

communications tools we’ll be using to get the word out about 

all the great things planned for June. 

As always, dues payments also give us a subscription to the 

sometimes provocative, always engaging Cornell Alumni 

Magazine and a host of special discounts and benefits. And, 

new this year, class members will receive invitations to 

exclusive online seminars with some of Cornell’s top minds. 

Take advantage of all that class membership—and Reunion 

weekend—offers this year! Visit alumni.cornell.edu/classes 

to pay your class dues, send us your news, and review your 

membership rewards. Your 7-digit alumni ID is XXXXXXX. 

Sincerely, 

Alex Vollmer

I noticed recently that you have not yet paid your class dues for the upcoming year. I hope you won’t let this 

important Reunion year go by without being counted as an official Class of 19XX member. 





life of the university? Or that during a Reunion year, our dues support the planning and communications work 

that our classmates do for our class? 

The Class of ’XX has contributed in so many ways large and small to the history of Cornell. As we come back to 

campus this year to celebrate those contributions, please consider helping our class volunteers create meaningful 

opportunities for us. Something simple, like paying the $X class dues this year, can do quite a lot of great things. 

This is the final invitation to renew class membership before we gather on the Hill in June. You can return the form 

below, along with your check, in the enclosed envelope. Or you can pay the dues online with a credit card. Simply 

visit alumni.cornell.edu/classes and the site will lead you through the steps.
