Increasing membership

When a few of us went out last Friday after the Award Ceremony, a few suggestions were batted around as to how to increase membership into TPAN, particularly reaching out to the newly graduating seniors as well as those from years long past that we have no real connection to, in terms of knowing who they are.

One idea that was mentioned was to explore getting a table of some sort at the senior week sign-up event. The Senior Fund (i.e TUAA) has a booth there, and it seems like a prime location for many seniors to be in the same room at the same time, looking at tables. Even if we didn't collect donations, as we're still lacking a bank account at this time, getting a list of people with e-mails seems like a basic plan of expansion.

Does anyone have the time to look into this more? I feel the sign-up is next Tuesday, if I can remember back to being a senior. Also, I'm fairly certain that the booths were manned by students, as opposed to non-students, so does anyone know seniors who would be both interested in joining TPAN as well as advertising it to others?

Additionally, there is alumni weekend forthcoming on commencement weekend. According to the e-mail TUAA sent me, this year's welcomed alumni are those from classes ending in "2" and "7." Do we have any '02ers who might consider attending, and promoting the group to other alumni who attend? This seems like an easy way for us to reach out to alumni who graduated from Tufts before the majority of us even started attending. I'm somewhere between the class of '03 and '06, so this is really the only year I know I do not qualify as an alum for alumni weekend.

Let's expand!
