Thanks for the responses so far, it's very helpful and encouraging!
I have another question...it may be a bit of a side track---how can we encourage the undergrads to solicit money from the alumni? We're all working and actually have money to donate for once in our lives, but it's like they're embarrassed to ask for it! And having only just crossed to the alumni side, I must admit that I was also a bit squeamish about asking for help from the alumni. Is there any way that we could "officially" let them know that it's ok to ask?
