 Dear
Alumni,
The University of Arizona ranks last in membership in the Pac-10. We are working to move up the chart, but need your alumni support to climb to #1. Alumni Association member numbers are holding steady at 7,600, but we want to surge above this plateau. Please show your Wildcat Pride by signing up for membership online today.
All alumni who sign up between now and March 2, 2007 will be entered into a drawing to win one of five $50 gift certificates to UofA Bookstores.
Go Cats!
