6DE LA SALLE MAGAZINE March 2004 the office for advancement

n past publications my message has centered on the importance of the relationship between philan- thropy and De La Salle Institute. This is one topic that can never be emphasized enough. Nor, for IIthat matter, can we ever say "thank you" too many times. The truth is that as long as we feel that our mission of Catholic education is important and that De La Salle Institute continues to provide an outstanding educational and faith development experience for hundreds of students and, by extension, their families and communities, there will always be a need for support in order to keep the mission strong - albeit in time as a volunteer, in talent as a committee member or board member, and yes, in treasure as a financial supporter. Therefore, allow me once again to say "thank you" for believ- ing in our mission enough to personally sacrifice for it. Together, may our combined efforts continue to produce enormous dividends to the students entrusted to the school's care as it provides each the best in personal enrichment - spiri- tual, academic, athletic, and social.

As the advancement office aims to improve its overall effectiveness, one way for it to insure that the Institute remains vibrant and relevant is by continuing to seek a mutually beneficial relationship between the school and its greatest treasure - its alumni and friends. If I may, please take a moment to answer the following survey questions and mail it to our office at your earliest conven- ience. Your input is important to us and will help us enhance the quality of service that is offered through the various offices within the advancement department.

I thank you in advance for your time and thoughtful consideration. You remain an important part of our mission in education.

St. John Baptist de La Salle … Pray for Us! Live Jesus In Our Hearts … Forever!

Anthony C. Chimera '83 Vice President for Advancement
