"One benefit of summer was that each daywe had more light to read by."
~Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle
Checking in with some "need to know"s!
Dear << Test Salutation >>,
Normally, we try to touch base with our donors at the beginning of each month.However, next Tuesday, August 1 begins a NEW giving year for our annualfund, and we wanted to make sure you (and we!) are "in the know" about afew items!
Recurring Donations - Time to Renew!Many families choose to give via recurring creditcard donations. If you did, you were asked todesignate a timeframe for your donations,typically 12 months...which means that peoplesigning up last August are approaching renewal
time! To ensure that donors don't experience an interruption in giving, we willman the phones next Tuesday-Friday, August 1-4, from 9am-4pm. We inviteyou to call us at 512.869.3020 to set up your recurring giving over the phone,OR to make your one-time 17-18 Gator Fund donation! Simply call and sayyou'd like to donate by phone, and someone will be available to help you.
Orientation
As you've seen elsewhere, our orientationschedule is set for the following dates: Thursday,August 10 (HS); Tuesday, August 15 (K/1st);Wednesday, August 16 (2nd-4th); and Thursday,August 17 (5th-8th). Gator Club members have
the option of attending at an "early bird" time of 6-6:30pm, with openorientation from 6:30-7:30pm (we will contact Gator Club members by emailafter the close of the giving year July 31 - if you think you qualify but don't hearfrom me, please feel free to contact me directly). If you choose not to "phone itin" next week, you can give toward the Gator Annual Fund by check or creditcard at orientation. By the way...we all know how that line goes, but we plan tohave some cold drinks and a little fun to make it a bit more bearable!
What does my giving do?We're often asked, what does my gift actually DOat Gateway? You might have seen the graphic atleft on social media. We want to communicate insimplified terms what charitable giving providesto Gateway. The answer is - charitable giving IS
Gateway. People come to Gateway for a specific school experience, which isprimarily a result of charitable giving. It's why we continue to ask our familiesto give, and why I try to say THANK YOU as often as possible to ALL of you whogive.
WE need to know!Has your last Gator graduated? Are you making a move? While we welcomeyour ongoing support even after your Gateway experience ends, if you have newinformation for us about your giving, please feel free to email me or call me(512.731.6308) and let me know so that we can update your records.
Enjoy these last few weeks of summer, and be sure to read a good book!
Best,
Ashley KjosDirector of Development
