Survive to the Finish (Or, Ho Ho Hoax)
SHHH, you guys, be cool! There are only two weeks left in our fiscal year here at Conn, so the last thing I should be doing is blogging, but I just wanted to check in with you to let you know I'm still alive (like anyone is going to give me money at 9am anyway).
Surprisingly, things aren't looking too bad despite the economy. I think a lot of that is due to the fact that Camels like y'all out there realize that today's students need our support more than ever right now. Just to be safe, however, I've been dressing up as Santa and collecting donations in front of Wal-Mart with a Salvation Army bucket (don't worry, I wrote "a.k.a. Connecticut College Annual Fund" in small type on the back of the bucket, so it's all legit).
That having been said, I encourage absolutely everyone out there to make a gift before June 30. A donation of any amount really does make a big difference for today's students, so visit http://giving.conncoll.edu today.
Well, it's back to the grind for this guy, but be well and enjoy the summertime!
Much love,
C-Rex
