Another thank you to all who shared their time contributing to the contents of this issue. Without you, this newsletter doesn’t exist. And I have to give a shout out to new exec committee member-at-large Brook Detterman, who tapped his ‘98 circle to bring you some of the tidbits in Green Gossip this time around. If you’re interested in contributing to the newsletter in any way—Green Gossip, a new feature, photography, whatever—don’t be shy! I hope that many of you will take the time to participate in our third annual 98th Day (weekend!) of Service, and that you will send me a few words about how you did. And, you know, perhaps some pictures? I’m hoping that we get SOOOOOOO many responses this year that we have to move to an online spread to hold all the reports. It could be your 40th birthday present to me! In any case, I hope you enjoy hearing about what some of your classmates have been up to, and thinking about new and different ways to connect to the College and our Class. Perhaps you’ll consider checking in for the next issue. Be well! —Kate [email protected] JO GOLUB President’s Corner Happy 2016, everyone! As we move into this new year, there are a lot of plans and goals for our class. One is our upcoming 98th Day of the Year event, which this year is taking place over two days for everyone’s convenience! April 9 & 10 are the days that members of our class will be going out into their communities and doing good--on both small and large scales--in honor of our class and our dedication to philanthropy and community engagement. Please mark your calendars and plan on joining us this year! See information on the next page about ideas for how to participate. We also have a bunch of mini-reunions in the works, including a 40th birthday party or two! Look for more information on those events in these pages, and in emails and Facebook posts to come in the next weeks and months. Thanks to everyone involved in leading our class efforts! And if you, too, would like to be involved, just drop me a line! All the best —Jo | 3 [email protected] STUART DAVIDSON Treasurer’s Notes Hello, everyone! I have some good news to share. As I write this, on a cold and windy February day here in Atlanta, our class dues participation rate for the current year has reached 19%. That’s a great number; let me give some context as to why. Over the last fifteen years, our participation rate has averaged 24%. We’re at 19% for this year (the fiscal year ends on June 30th), and it’s only February. That’s a great pace. Thank you! The other reason this is good news is that for the last five years, we’ve averaged 21%. According to Alumni Relations, it’s a very common pattern for a Dartmouth class as we progress through our thirties. This makes sense: we all have work and life responsibilities that consume a great deal of time and energy. I know from having two little kids that sometimes the mail piles up, and things get overlooked. But interestingly enough, Alumni Relations also tells us that class engagement, measured by several things (not just dues participation), tends to swing upward as a class turns 40, driven by a desire to reconnect with Dartmouth and an easing of the demands that little kids put on many folks’ time and energy. Of course, when it comes to the exact timing of things getting easier, your mileage may vary. But I’ll say it again--19% is a great number. If you have paid your dues this year, thank you! If you haven’t yet, please consider doing so. PayPal is the most efficient way for us to collect dues; just visit the class website at http://1998.dartmouth.org and click on the PayPal button. Dues are $30 per year -- and if you’d like to lend some additional support to our class project, we have an option for that, too. We very much appreciate your support, which enables all the good things we do as a class. —Stu D 9 8 MMaarrcchh 22001166 BEYOND THE GREEN | 4 8 9 ‘ a m ’ I r e e t n u l o V Today I served @ TThhiiss SSEERRVVEE eevveenntt bbrroouugghhtt ttoo yyoouu oonn tthhee 9988tthh DDaayy bbyy tthhee DDaarrttmmoouutthh CCllaassss ooff 11999988 Take this page with you and snap a pic to share in the next newsletter, on Facebook or Instagram! #D98Day #Dartmouth98 | 5 Third Annual April 9 & 10, 2016 98 Day event th Do something philanthropic and community-minded in honor of our class.
