Saturday April 16, 2011 The CSULB sailing club sent out 500 letters to all the sailing club alumni members. The letter was asking to donate money for the club, due to the fact that Cal State University, Long Beach does not fund anything for the sailing club. The letter also consisted of a flyer; the flyer was to promote the alumni to meet at Naples Rib Company on May 5, 2011 for dinner, where 20 percent of their food bill will go straight to the sailing club. “I think it’s a great Idea, especially because we have to come up with the money all by ourselves, we have already raised $2,500 and its not even May yet” President Shane Young explained. He also said that the support of the alumni really means a lot to the club and is greatly appreciated by every member. Vice president Laura Newton was in charge of sending the letters out on time, “not the easiest of tasks to send out 500 letters to longtime CSULB graduates, I had to stamp them all and seal them all, I’m just glad were seeing feedback so early” she explained. The fundraiser at Naples Rib Company will be held on May 5, 2011 at 7p.m so the club encourages all alumni to go and support the cause.
