Thank you, Kathleen Wissel `06 and Megan Behrle `09 Young Alumnae Giving Co-Chairs -------------- The Young Alumnae Giving program encompasses classes within the first 10 years of graduation (excluding Reunion classes) and calls on them to build on their connection to the College and one another by giving annually to the Sweet Briar Annual Fund. It is a time-honored tradition. Recent graduates join the exclusive ranks of Sweet Briar Alumnae. They enjoy the benefits of membership to this vast network of those who have gone before them, and they are the connective bridge to future graduates. It is about class unity. It is about women supporting women through philanthropy and volunteering. It is about the Sweet Briar Promise from one alumna to another, to yet another. Young Alumnae's giving makes a difference, and last year they contributed $34,092 to the
Annual Fund.
