MAJOR UPDATE 1-29-2008

Rob Rosenberg, the CACO Membership VIce President, sends an important and earnest message to Class Membership officers. In this January 2008 letter he emphasizes how key membership is to your class, and encourages you to take advantage of the many timesaving resources available to you through Debby Earl of the Class and Reunion Programs Staff.

This year there is a new incentive for classmates to join or renew their membership. The Class Dues Payer Rewards Program offers discounts on Reunions; golf, dining, tours and athletics at Cornell; the Campus Store; the Cornell Club of New York, and more. Check out details of this exciting new enticement in the following PowerPoint presentation: Class Dues Payer Rewards Program (2.4MB) (updated 5-2-2008).
