A motion was made and seconded to dispense with the Roll Call and the motion was seconded and carried. A motion was made and seconded to dispense with the reading of the Minutes of the June 20th meeting of the Board of Directors. There were no corrections and/or additions to the Minutes of the J·une 20th meeting and the Minutes were accepted. The Treasurer's Report stated that as of September 19, 1985, monies on hand are: Chase Manhattan Bank checking account $23,749.00 Less Directory payments 4,935.00 Less Directory increase in dues 8,360.00 SUB TOTAL $10,454.00 Seamen's Bank for Savings time certificate $20,326.96 Seamen's Bank for Savings savings account $ 7 ,463.24 TOTAL $38,244.20 The Treasurer's Report was accepted. As of September 1, 1985, the Association is carrying 2,216 members for the year 1985 and has collected $56,700 in dues revenues. The Board was advised though, that $8,360 of these monies account for the increase in the membership fees this year because of the publication of a new directory. In comparison to last year at this time, the Association is carrying 86 more members and has collected $2,790 more in dues revenues. The rate of participation for this year is 31%. The report of the Membership Committee was accepted. Mr. T. Lawrence Tabak reported that for the academic year ending June 3 0 •\ 1985, gifts from all sources totalled $554,415. Of this amount, alumni contributed $118,114. While we declined slightly in dollars raised (a decline which can be MINUTES-September 19, 1985-page 3 accounted for by several large, one time gifts from the previous year and several bequests), we experienced a slight increase in the number of gifts, thereby bringing participation to 22% from 18%. Mr. Tabak expessed the School's gratitude to the alumni who participated in the Phonathons and who supported the School through the Heritage Fund. Mr. Tabak further reported that the letters for the phone/mail program are in the process of approval and this year's Heritage Fund Campaign will begin early in October. A report on the status of the effort will be made to the Board at its December meeting, but the increase in the participation rate bodes well for its success. This raised questions from members of the Board present, and Mr. Tabak asked Dean Berger to please explain the details of the phone/mail program to the group. Dean Berger replied that there will be two letters sent to every alumnus for whom we have records. The first letter will be from Dean.Simon and the second letter will be from Mr. Alexander Forger, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, asking for a specific gift payable over a three-ye>ar period. Before these letters are sent, every graduate will have been screened. Within ten days after the Forger letter is sent, there will be a phone call from a professional caller employed by Institutional Development Counsel.. The phone process i.s expected to take two months, and the sum of money expected to be raised is between $800,000 and $1,100,000. The administration of the Law School will be monitoring the program very carefully, and the program is expected to work for the Harlan program as well. Dean Berger said that his experience has been that the younger alumni relate very well to this process and the program has proved to be very successful at other institutions of the same nature as the Law School. The callers are paid professionals and the graduates are not surprised when they are called by these people because they have been alerted to the fact that they will be receiving a call at a certain date and time. In other words, the call is an appointment call. Dean Berger went on to explain that it was never the intention of the School to eliminate the interaction pi.~oa.uced by a Pho:i.1athcn., alurr.D.us or stu.dent calling alumni, and that he and Basil O'Connor, Phonathon Chairman, are planning a Spring Phonathon. This will serve to better the membership in the Association as well as further the interests of the Law School. Furthermore, I.D.C. will welcome any alumni to come out to their facility in Bloomfield, New Jersey, and watch or participate in the process. Dean Berger will be more than glad to arrange transportation. Mr. Tabak concluded the discussion by saying that the projections are good and although the previous Phonathons have been difficult at best, the turnout has been good, but still left much to be desired. ,/•' Dean Berger added that periodic reports of the progress of this program will be made available to the Board. ~ MINUTES-September 19, 1985-page 4 Mr. Harold Easton announced the newest members of the Planned Giving Committee. They are Prof. Joseph Arenson, Faculty Advisor, Harris Gordon Miller, Esq., and Basil F. O'Connor, Esq. Mr. Easton said that the Trustees of the Law School will not be able to approve the Deferred Giving Program until the December, 1985 board meeting, but that in the meantime a Deferred Giving Brochure is in the process of being prepared and should be in the mail by early February. Mr. Easton added that even though the program is not in full force, one very large future bequest of $100,000 has been received by Ri.chard S. Petty '37, in memory of his father the late Dean Richard D. Petty, for an endowed Scholarsh.ip Fund for a deserving student. President Flynn reported that orders for 658 directories have been re­ cieved. The directory is due to be published shortly after the first of the new year and the alumni will be receiving them in early February. He added that if anyone had not yet responded to the alumni questionaire, to please do so immediately so that his/her current information may be included in the book. Mr. Guy Vitacco reported that a reception was held at the Queens Bar Association on Thursday, September 12th, for graduates of the School who either reside and/or practice in Queens. There was a fine representation of alumni besides Dean Simon, Ted Tabak, and Mr. Flynn. Dean Simon addressed the group stating that the state of the Law School is very good indeed. The next area reception scheduled for October 23rd. will be for the alumni in Westchester, Rockland and the Bronx. President Flynn reminded the members of the Board that the Annual Dinner is scheduled for Thursday, November 14th, at the Pierre Hotel. Cocktails will be fron 6:30 until 7:30 and dinner served at 7:30.
