Subject: Become part of something very special

Submitter:
Kathryn Croyle, Administrative Assistant to the VP, Institutional Advancement

Message: I would like to invite all the Augsburg College community – men and women faculty, staff, and students – to join the Augsburg Associates. The Associates is a very special group that serves Augsburg College in a variety of ways. Membership fees-- starting at as little as $15 – help provide a scholarship for an Augsburg student and fund many service projects for the campus. Past projects include: buying the organ for Hoversten Chapel, providing the new Welcome area outside of Admissions in Christensen, renovating the Augsburg room and, of course, hosting Velcommen Jul. You do not need a “bunad” to join and you can choose your level of involvement, from just making your membership donation (it is tax deductible!) to helping with estate sales or Velcommen Jul. This is a terrific opportunity to pool our resources to benefit this amazing institution. Please contact Kathryn Croyle at 612-330-1171 with questions or to request a membership form.
