Rather than cards and care packages (and spending the $$$ which the alums are quite aware you don't have), just keep the alums up to date w/ regular emails. I am guessing that if the oldest people are 20 years out they all have emails (as opposed to a chapter founded in 1950 or something).
Be sure to put something in Behrend's alumni bulletin or see if you can get it posted on the website and have a person to contact. Some alums may have fallen out of touch w/ AST & not have updated addresses.
ASK the alums what they want to see - if they want to make it a weekend event, if they want to see a slide show, or what.
And be sure to impress on the actives that even though they're going to have dates with them, they need to pay attention to the alums as well.
