A Defining Moment: the campaign for Cottey College
It's never been in my
nature to be an observer. I tend to get actively involved in causes
that are important to me. And for the last 40 years, through my
involvement in the P.E.O. Sisterhood and as an ex officio member of
the Cottey College Board of Trustees, the most important thing to
me has been supporting educational opportunities for women.
For this reason, I enthusiastically accepted the opportunity to serve as chairman for A Defining Moment: The Campaign for Cottey College.
The P.E.O. Sisterhood, as well as friends and alumnae of Cottey
College, have always been extremely generous in helping sustain
Cottey. But this campaign is about more than sustenance. A Defining
Moment is about elevating Cottey College to a new level on its way
to becoming a national model for women's education.
I believe in the mission of this wonderful college. I believe in
the generations of young women who will emerge from Cottey as
tomorrow's leaders. With generous support from all who share my
enthusiasm and commitment, Cottey College will have the facilities,
the people, and the programs to champion a better society through
the women we educate.
Please be generous. Let this campaign be an opportunity for A
Defining Moment for you.
