A Letter from your… Treasurer

Hey my lovely ladies!
Welcome to your final year at Mount Holyoke, and welcome back to those who came went abroad. I just wanted to give you a heads up on fundraising this year. Every year the senior class board handles the Finals Care Packages… We have already gotten tons of orders from your wonderful and giving families! Yet, we want to make sure we have a healthy barrel of money to take from when planning events for you all. So make sure you remind your family to send in their Care Package orders. And you can also send Care Package to one of your friends as a way of saying good luck and also supporting your class. If you have any questions just send me an email (ehtoddch) and I would be more than happy to answer them. I wish you a wonderful academic year. Just remember to enjoy every moment because this is our last and best year here at Mount Holyoke!

Cheers!
Beth Todd-Chattin
