Help Find Lost Alumni
Try as we might, it is an enormous task to keep updated addresses for the hundreds of BHE ag graduates. You, as fellow alumni, are our best resource when it comes to tracking down current addresses (and sometimes name changes) for your classmates and friends. Next time you’re online, please go to the BHE Ag Alumni web site and check out our extensive list of “lost alumni.”

When you find names of classmates or friends who you have updated addresses for, be sure to send them or e-mail the new information to us by mailing it to: Agri-Business Club Alumni, c/o Eldon R. Aupperle, Black Hawk College – East Campus, 26230 Black Hawk Road, Galva, IL  61434 or e-mail Ag Alumni Mailbox.

ABC Funds Help Support Student Learning & Needs on East Campus
At its March meeting, the Agri-Business Club Alumni board of directors approved funding for the following projects and initiatives…

• Installing wireless Internet access point in the Ag Arena to enable students and instructors to access online resources and materials
• Purchasing new projection unit for Room 2-107, a computer lab used by ag faculty
• Purchasing a piano key for the college’s new piano in an effort to support a college-wide initiative
• Providing an annual donation to the Illinois FFA Foundation

Thank you for your past help and support. I continue to look forward to seeing each of you at the Annual Ag Alumni Banquet the held the first Saturday in February. Details on the banquet can be found in this newsletter.
