Dear Classmates,
Congratulations to the Class of 66!
Our total raised last week grew to $12,639 for our Memorial Fund, which more than met our match of $10,000 giving us $22,639. We are so close to reaching our overall goal of $25,000. We hope those of you who are still planning to send a gift will put us over the top.
As we have said the earnings from investing the fund will serve two purposes: granting a yearly $500 scholarship in Liz/Bette’s name to a deserving Amphi student; and, if we receive enough money, annual grants to Amphi to strengthen educational programs at the high school. We think we can do both this year. One of our classmates has stepped forward to fund this year’s $500 Elizabeth Andersen Scholarship for a deserving student. Knowing we can count on all of you to reach our $25,000 goal, we have asked the administration to identify a current high school program in need of funds that we could support with a $500 grant this year.
In giving to our fund, in addition to considering a gift to honor Liz/Bette, you can also make a gift in memory or in honor of any of our 1966 classmates or teachers. You would simply note on your check or in the memo line at the Amphi Foundation site who you are honoring with your gift. At the end of the funding cycle we will share a list of all those people who were remembered or honored by the fund.
If you have any questions about how to make your donation, please reach out to Leah Noreng at the Amphi Foundation. She is more than happy to answer questions or explain the online donation process. 520-822-6439
You may donate through www.amphifoundation.
org or by sending your gift to Amphi Foundation, 701 W. Wetmore Road, Tucson, AZ 85705. Please add notation, “Class of 1966 Memorial Fund” on your gift and if honoring a specific individual, include their name as well. Your Class Memorial Fund Representatives, Dave Nix, Susan Scott, Erica Richter.
