Three major events will highlight the Foundation schedule this fall.

One is a major fund-raising event that will be called the Loyalty Fund. Every alumnus will be contacted and asked personally to contribute to the University. Many more details about this project will be announced soon.

The second event will be a continuing education seminar for attorneys, CPAs, and Certified Financial Planners. The seminar will be led by Mr. Mike Bourland, noted estate planning consultant of Fort Worth. The seminar, open to all attorneys, CPAs, and CFPs, will be held Friday, Oct. 20, 2000, in the LaSalle Room of the student center. For additional information and cost of the seminar, contact Pat Taylor at (888) 568-3396 or (903) 886-5513.

The third big event will be a donor recognition banquet on Nov. 2 as part of Homecoming 2000. It will honor everyone who has invested in the University this year. Dr. Howard Graves, chancellor of the Texas A&M University System, will be the featured speaker. In addition, newly inducted members of the Founder’s Circle will be honored at a reception prior to the dinner.

This event will also mark two other major events: the 30th anniversary of the Foundation and the conclusion of the three-year capital campaign. Final totals will be revealed at the dinner, and many campaign workers will be recognized.

As you can tell, these events are just highlights of a great year for your foundation and University, and we appreciate you for your participation in these activities.
