The UAA has been very active in programming events for the chapter, and we have funded many items for the chapter this year. We have 70 dues-paying members in 2009, one of our best years. I fully expect us to win our 2nd “Alumni Club of the Biennium” at the Convocation this summer in Boston.
Your donations make it possible – thank you!
