It doesn't hurt to say something like "we are making a real effort this year to get more involved with alumnae and keep them in the loop." State it, then move on.

COMPLETELY agree on this. Also, if you want alums to get in contact with you, put a note in your college's alumni magazine. Many people keep their address current with the school but not their GLO.
