Alumni Relations has been busy planning two important activities.

Presently developing a method to enable alumni to participate and play an active role in voting for their national officers via online ballots.

A partnership with Ed Poe and the Frankfort Kiwanis Club will conduct in February a two-day phone-a-thon on campus designed to recruit active members of the Frankfort alumni. The number of Frankfort alumni who live in the Frankfort/Franklin County area but are not presently involved with the University is over 2,000.

Identified an alumni for the 1890's Legacy Award. (Donald Hylton) attended the award ceremony in Indianapolis, Indiana.

During homecoming weekend worked with Cornelia Calhoun and Bill Rodgers to post welcome home alumni signs in 50 commercial business windows in downtown Frankfort. This effort generated a positive article in the State Journal newspaper.

Contacted all alumni chapters asking for financial support for students who needed funds to remain enrolled at KSU. In response, $1,000.00 was donated from the Frankfort Alumni Chapter.

Attempted to fill all alumni requests regarding homecoming reservations, game tickets and general requests.

Cleaned and painted exterior of Alumni House. Renovated the kitchen which included new appliances.
