You Are Cordially Invited<br />
by Connie Benson ‘94 • Vice President for Institutional Advancement<br />
<strong>Summer</strong> is winding down. Throughout the summer months, if your<br />
household is like mine, you receive many invitations to weddings, bridal<br />
showers, graduations, anniversaries, and birthday parties. If you are like<br />
me, you make every effort to take part in these special events.<br />
Invitations are also a significant part of our work at HLG these days.<br />
Over the past year, Dr. Burt, development office personnel, Community<br />
Steering Committee members, and our Board of Trustees have been<br />
inviting HLG friends in <strong>Hannibal</strong> and the surrounding areas to help us<br />
financially with the Building for the Future campaign. Of course, we<br />
have not been able to contact all of our alumni and friends, but we are<br />
trying to reach as many as we can. The individuals we have contacted<br />
have generously accepted our invitation to help. I want to thank all of<br />
you who have been so charitable. Your generosity is greatly appreciated,<br />
and you are making a major impact on the lives of students who<br />
will benefit from the new library, allied health center, science building,<br />
renovations, and the scholarships that this campaign will provide.<br />
If you have not received a phone call, letter, or visit from us, I cordially<br />
invite you to participate in the most ambitious campaign in <strong>Hannibal</strong>-<br />
<strong>LaGrange</strong> College’s history. We come to you, our alumni and friends,<br />
for help in constructing new facilities, making improvements, and<br />
increasing our scholarship funds and endowment. As you know, tuition<br />
does not cover the costs of new facilities,<br />
nor do we receive state or federal dollars.<br />
Therefore, your assistance in this effort is<br />
of vital importance.<br />
There are many ways to give to HLG.<br />
Gifts do not always have to be cash. We<br />
have individuals who give through stocks,<br />
IRAs, life insurance policies, wills/trusts,<br />
and other giving vehicles. Be sure to ask<br />
us how you can give other than a cash<br />
gift. I hope that when we call or stop by<br />
for a visit, you will accept our invitation to<br />
help the college financially in Building for<br />
the Future.
