Let's Get to a New Number
As of today, 125 members shown on the Supporting Members Page have contributed to our 2021 fund drive a total of almost $7000. Will you be number 126 and put us over $7000?
According to our President, Lynne Beiermeister, this past year the alumni association gave several donations to support school programs and activities e.g. helped with graduation expenses ($2000+); the sports program fundraiser ($5000); the food backpack program ($1000); our annual Centennial awards ($1000); the Enrichment Grant was doubled ($2000) plus we pay for the Hall of Fame plaques and dinner.
We'd really like our membership drive to help cover these worthwhile expenditures so we can do it again for our community in 2021. Everyone who ever attended a Rensselaer City School is automatically a member so, you really don't have to give anything. It's up to you to decide. Please give if you can. Simply make a check out for any denomination payable to "Rensselaer Alumni" and mail it the the association at:
Rensselaer Alumni
25 Van Rensselaer Dr.,
Rensselaer, NY 12144
with "membership" in the memo line.
