The third phase of the Pitt-Greensburg Alumni Association Annual Fund will be arriving in your mail shortly. If you were unable to participate
during the first two phases of the campaign, or if you would like to increase your donation, this is your chance.
The Pitt-Greensburg Annual Fund supports all areas of the University including, but not limited to: Academic programs and experiential
education; Campus Growth including facilities, faculty, and staff; Athletics, Student Government, Clubs and Campus Life; and Scholarships,
Endowments and Financial Aid.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. Your contributions add to their success and the success of the University. You can apply your
contribution to a particular program, part of the campus, or towards a certain Scholarship or Endowment. We encourage you to be a part of the
many benefits that Pitt-Greensburg has to offer.
As a bonus to Pitt-Greensburg, you can enhance your donation by indicating that your employer offers matching gifts. Your gift will make a
difference and for that we are grateful. Thank you!

 Despite the frigid weather, several Alumni gathered on
February 6, 2007 to enjoy a delicious meal and to catch up on things. We welcomed back those who have attended past luncheons and welcome
Dane Swartz who was able to join us for the first time. Each luncheon continues to draw new Alumni who are interested in
reconnecting. The luncheons offer an excellent opportunity for you to take a break from you busy day and
we hope to continue adding new names to the list. Remember to bring business cards and pamphlets to share with the others.
Don’t miss out...mark you calendar to attend the next PGAA Monthly Networking Luncheon on Tuesday, March 6th. If you’ve
been wondering, “What’s up?” with all the renovation and new construction in Greensburg and throughout Hempfield Township, this will be
your opportunity to find out. Our guest speakers will be alumni John Felice and Rob Ritson.

 Mark your calendars to be at Totteridge Golf Club on
Monday, June 25, 2007. This year, the Alumni Association would like to continue its support for Pitt-Greensburg student athletes by
participating the annual Bobcat Golf Outing hosted by the Pitt-Greensburg Athletic Department in conjunction with the Office of
Institutional Advancement. The more golfers, foursomes, and corporate sponsors that participate, the greater the benefit to our
students. All are welcome.
This is a great way to help the students while enjoying a catered meal, an opportunity to win prizes, and a fantastic round of golf at
one of the area’s premiere courses.
Watch for details in upcoming Alumni Connections newsletters.
