Dedicated Parents are Force Behind the Growth
	Dear Ithaca Parents: It is our pleasure to serve a second year as chairpersons of the Parents Fund and to thank the parents of Ithaca College students and alumni who participated so willingly in the 1996-97 Parents Fund. The remarkable growth of the fund over the past few years demonstrates how dedicated and generous Ithaca parents are. Your support makes a real difference to the College by allowing it to maintain the growth and strength of its programs, facilities, and equipment. By contributing to the Parents Fund, current parents affect the quality of their children's education, and parents of alumni help maintain the high reputation of an Ithaca College degree. We thank you all for taking up the challenge and working with us to enhance the Ithaca experience for all our children. And we extend a warm welcome to parents of new students and hope that in the years ahead you will join us to continue the success of the Parents Fund. Thank you in advance for your support in the coming fund year. Sincerely, John and Paula McClung Parents of Alison '98 Parents Fund Chairpersons P.S. We welcome parent volunteers to the Parents Fund Committee. If you are interested, please call Jennifer Lockey, coordinator of the Parents Fund, at (607) 274-1155.
