You've probably all heard from Boss Geller regarding the achievement of 1912 for the Alumni Fund. Boss deserves a hand from everyone in the class. His efforts resulted in 73 duplicates, 52 increases, and 32 decreases, and a very few who dropped out. The increase plus 10 new contributors and 2 memorial gifts brought up the class average to 84% of contributors, which puts us in fourth place in the Green Derby Group.
