Hi. I'm Steve Poskanzer,
the President of Carleton
-
and I'm hoping to encourage
all of you to join with me
-
in the Every Carl Every Year campaign.
-
This April is a really important time
for the college.
-
Every Spring is of course when we do
the Annual Fund drive
-
and I think all of you already know
-
how critical the Annual Fund
is to Carleton's success.
-
The fund provides about six percent
-
of the annual operating budget of the College.
-
It goes to help support student scholarships,
-
internship opportunities for students,
-
subscriptions and books in the library,
research funds for faculty.
-
Everything you can imagine
that makes Carleton great
-
and helps us stay strong the
Annual Fund makes possible.
-
This year we're doing
something very special
-
as part of April's Annual Fund drive.
-
From April 15th to 30th there's
actually a three-to-one match
-
for any gift that you'll
make to the Annual Fund.
-
If you give $100 it will
have an impact of $300.
-
And then on April 26, a one-day-only
extravaganza event
-
it's going to be a quintuple match.
-
A gift of $100 on that day,
a gift of any amount on that day
-
will be matched by generous donors
to have 5 times its regular impact.
-
That's a really exciting moment for us
and we think that this is a way
-
to get many of Carleton's most cherished
and most devoted friends
-
to step forward and help make
sure that our college stays
-
as strong and as wonderful
as it always has been
-
and as it always needs to be.
-
Thanks for being part of this effort.
