Benefits of getting the newsletter by email:

 

  1. It saves the Orange Alumni a lot of money. Emails cost the Alumni 0 dollars, in 2022 the Orange alumni spent over 5700 dollars to mail the newsletter. That is a 9% increase from 2021. We can’t sustain the high cost of mailing the newsletter.

  2. An emailed newsletter is all in color, only 2 pages are in color by mail. If you like having a hard copy of the newsletter, you can print it. 

  3. It is good for the environment. The annual number of pages for the newsletter equals over 21000 pages.

  4. Our main fundraiser has been by joining the Orange Alumni. Over the past 8 years, we have only averaged 3 to 4 graduates joining the alumni a year. We provide on average 5 to 10 scholarships a year. We provide on average 24 Orange roses for legacy graduates and those legacy graduates are recognized in our newsletter and during graduation with their Orange rose. One year, we made business cards that described how to join with a QR code that would connect with the Alumni webpage. We personally gave these cards out to each graduate. Only 3 graduates joined that year. 

     

  5. We are working this year and next to plan other fundraisers other than a  membership drive, so stay tuned!
