Email from HU - New Cafeteria

The students are on their much-anticipated Spring break this week, so we are “holding down” the campus on their behalf. Please keep the Pirates basketball team in your thoughts as they are competing in the MEAC this week – and if you haven’t heard, we beat Howard last night! Go Pirates!!!

In an effort to meet Hampton University’s $5 million challenge goal for the New Student Cafeteria, we have created several documents that will be helpful as your class raises money. These documents include:

1. Information sheet – provides general information about the cafeteria.

2. Class Leader/Call for Participation letter – designed to help bring class members together to raise money for the cafeteria

3. Pledge Sheet – If alumni have misplaced the giving envelope, this can be printed out and mailed to Hampton University. It also has link to Hampton’s online giving page. Please email to your entire class. This can also be found on our google group website. There is a link to the right on this page.

4. Cafeteria Campaign Schema – Can be used to encourage participation and for those who want to give $1,000 to buy a pane with other classmates. This can also be accessed on our google group website. There is a link to the right of this page.

5. Volunteer Solicitation letter – Use this letter to gain volunteer participation.

This will be a useful tool for you to round-up volunteers that are willing to make calls to touch every Hamptonian.

An electronic newsletter will follow soon!

Moving forward I will keep you abreast of the University’s cafeteria giving status as I receive it. My job is to provide you with the information and support that you need to raise funds from your class for the New Student Cafeteria. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions and/or suggestions about how to make this process more efficient and more effective.

Thanks again for all you do to support our beautiful Home by the Sea.

Sincerely,
