A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT Bill Matthews, ’90 Dear Alumni: This letter has been more difficult to write than the others that I have sent to you throughout my time as President; I realize that these two years have passed very quickly and this will be my last opportunity to address you in my role as President of the La Salle University Alumni Association. First, I want to thank you for the opportunity that my family and I have had to serve you. I have spent much time charting the course for our alumni programs at La Salle, attending events both near and far, and growing the number of active alumni members. Nancy and I, along with our three boys, Billy, Christopher, and Zach, have enjoyed all of our time working for you and with you. I congratulate Mike Diccicco, ’71, Jim Ahern, ’70, Tim Tilson, ’94, and Tom Leonard, ’70, on their election as officers of the Alumni Association for the next two years. I can tell you without reservation that you will be well-served by a group of dedicated men who will build on our successes and continue to bring new and interesting programs to you. I also want to thank Jim Gulick, ’89, Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations, and his staff for their tremendous efforts in advancing alumni relations at La Salle University. In addition, we have the full support of the University and the Board of Trustees. Their endorsement of our programs and initiatives has fostered our success. Alumni Association President Bill Matthews III, '90, (center) and Bill Matthews Jr., '75, (celebrating their 15th and 30th Reunions this year) enjoy Reunion ’04 with sister/daughter Maryann Matthews Malloy, '89, (at her reunion) and the Matthews kids. These past two years, we have brought you dynamic and varied programming for alumni of all ages. We have improved the way we communicate with you and continue to improve the ways all of you can communicate with one another through the use of the mylasalle Alumni WebPortal. I urge you to explore mylasalle today. We have also focused on community service, and I will remain committed to future projects in and around the University community. The University is a vital player in the community around 20th and Olney, and therefore, I feel it is important for the Alumni Association to partner with the University and community leaders to continue the good work we’ve begun. Your Alumni Board of Directors is one of the strongest groups that the Alumni Association has ever been blessed with. The Alumni Board is comprised of individuals who want to give back to a university that did so much for them as students. Working with my fellow Board members, we have achieved many successes during my time as President of the Alumni Association. As we enter the summer season, we continue to offer many great ways for you, your family, classmates, and friends to get together. Join Nancy, the boys, and me at Camden Yards July 9 as our Baltimore Club hosts a picnic followed by the Orioles vs. the World Champion Boston Red Sox. In addition, our Downtown Club will host a Business Persons Special as the Phillies take on the Dodgers July 21. Of course, we will have our annual Young Alumni Beach Party in Avalon, N.J., on Aug. 27. Finally, mark your calendars for Oct. 29 and plan to return to campus for Homecoming. This experience has been truly rewarding for me and my family, and I thank you for the wonderful opportunity I have had to serve you.
