Colleges trying to solocit funds/class reunions

So, I love UD. I have very fond memories of my time there, I love getting newsletter updates and reading about what they've done with the campus and the music department, and all of that kind of stuff. What I do not love, however, is that I get mailings just about every week asking for money, and now that our 5 year reunion is coming up I get them more often. Maybe they send me so much mail because they can't call me.

Now, call me a pain, but I'm not quite done paying off my student loans. Therefore, in reality I'm still paying for college. When I was a student there, did UD ask me for money? No. I wonder if they would stop sending me solicitation pieces if I told them I was still paying on student loans and that I plan on donating something as soon as I'm done. Think it would work? Yeah, neither do I.

On another note, I keep getting mail about the 5 year reunion. Anyone out there going to any of the events? Can I have a cardboard cut-out of myself made and send it along with you. :-)

It won’t hardly be a reunion without you! Who will I reminisce about your “sleep-overs” with L.A. in my room? Who will I recollect fond memories of drinking with my dad at the Fieldhouse with you and the crew?! Who will I rehash driving to and from Daytona with when you had to pee every half hour!? AUGH!!!!!

It won't be the same since those BASTARDS sold our house! And let me just say, Karen and I have agreed to send the school 1 dollar every year until they buy it back!
