GREAT NEWS ABOUT OUR BURSARY FUND FOR NEEDY STUDENTS
UNTIL MARCH 31ST, 1997, THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT WILL
MATCH, DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, ALL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FUND
THE FUND IS NOW NEARING $18,000.00 AND PROMISING TO GO HIGHER
UNTIL THE END OF MARCH, 1997, the Ontario Government will match, dollar for dollar, every contribution made to our Bursary Fund for Needy Students.
WE did not know of this in time for the October Newsletter. So, late in OCTOBER, Cormac Smith, chair of our Bursary Fund, set up A PHONE BLITZ.
Eight volunteers phoned some 130 retirees and urged them to give to the University's Annual Giving Campaign and to DESIGNATE their contribution to the Retirees' Bursary Fund. All our members were advised that every one dollar contribution would effectively add two dollars to the Fund.
NOW THE DOWNSIDE!... According to our membership, the University Development Office did not contact any retirees to tell them the Annual Giving Campaign was on, and to send the form. (This of ALL years!)
BY DECEMBER 1ST, with the University's Annual Giving Campaign moving to its close, the U's Development Office had STILL not made contact, though a letter was said to be in preparation to go out in TWO WEEKS!! Sadly, this dithering by the Development Office took much of the steam out of our October phone blitz.
Nevertheless the Association wishes to thank the following members who gave their time to make more than 100 telephone calls on the U's behalf.
Cormac Smith, Nigel Hedgecock, Gino Fracas, John Huschilt, Gerry Monforton, Dan Boles, Frank Holuj, Eugene McNamara.
PAT AND JAN GALASSO ARE PLANNING TO MOVE TO KINGSTON
Pat Galasso, former Dean of the Faculty of Human Kinetics, will be moving with his wife Jan, to Kingston early in January. Pat retired in 1990 and served for one year on the Executive Committee of the Association. They are making the move in order to be closer to their roots, and to their family, both of which are in the eastern part of the Province, Pat said. The Galassos have made many friends during their years in Windsor, and they will be missed. Godspeed, Pat and Jan! You have all our good wishes!
LIST OF PAID-UP MEMBERSHIP
It is still impractical to publish a list of the members who have paid up to date, complete with addresses and other data. Such a list would be incomplete because, at the end of November, fewer than 60 have paid their dues for 1996-1997.
It is now planned to publish a complete list in February, at which time anyone still not paid will be considered to have dropped his or her membership.
Our records show the following have paid by the end of November. Remember mistakes can happen, and if we've made one in your case we apologize and ask you to let us know.
Basic, Billinghurst, Booth, Brown, Bunt, Callaghan, Chandler, Cowan, Crocker, Crowley, Doctor, Dorrell, Fantazzi, Goerzen, Galasso, Habib, Habowsky, Hackett, Hartt, Hedgecock, Holuj, Huschilt, Keenleyside, Kennedy, Krause, LaGaipa, Leavitt, Libby, Long, Magee, McCorquodale, McGarvey, McGrath, McNamara, Meyer, Phillips, Mouratides, Pradhan, Rappe, Romanow, Sautter, Shklov, Smith,A., Stewart, Tamburini, Taylor,C., Vincent, Whitehurst, Wilkinson, Youdelis, Zi n, Sridhar.
