MESSENGER/MARCH 1990 23 II Dear Alumni Donor, Thank you for participating so generously in the Alumni Challenge Program at Kingsway College. With goals this year of 700 Donors and $36,200 Dollars, we need all the help we can get! Increasing numbers of students have little or no paren- tal support and yet they are as deserving as any of a Christian Education, This is where your gift makes all the difference. It is frequently my privilege to let students know that alumni are supporting them. You will be glad to know that a number of young alumni who left high school recently have already begun to contribute. A Danish Proverb states, "He who gives to me teaches me to give." I can see that your gifts are doing exactly that. May Goo bless as you continue to support Kingsway as you are able.
