The Foundation has been calling my house for the last two weeks to remind me to donate again for 2007. I usually do, and when I finally talked to them last weekend they said they would send a donation form. I assumed this letter was in response to that phone call. I don't belong to an alum group, so I have no dues to pay.

This is for donations. You know like your high school does (at least mine does) and your college will.

Alum dues are local, mine are like $40 (but it's free your first year!)

I'd like to give, but I need to get my schooling in order first. If I get loans, I'll be celebrating with a donation

Your hs asks for donations? Was it private?
Yeah money grubbing UF already asks my parents for money. They even asked for donations before I started going to UF. I'm pretty sure we have the cheapest tuition in the nation and they are always raising money here.

Yeah, Catholic. My university (St. Louis U) is too.

On the plus side I got a calendar from them.

I don't think I've gotten that particular request for money from SK, but I have gotten multiple emails and address labels so far.

I think all schools ask parents for money - i work at my school's phone fund raising thing and some parents get really mad when we call. But others give like, $200

I'd give money to my high school for the right reason. They just built a new science building (something I would have donated money for if I wasn't in college at the time) I might even do so at SLU, but it would be for something.

My requirements for SK aren't as high as I know what the money helps with!

<<Alum dues are local, mine are like $40 (but it's free your first year!)>>

when i went through order, we were given out coupons for a free first year in an alumni chapter, but i think i lost mine. is that something i definitely need to get my first year free? this is a silly question, but if i find it, does it expire? lol
