Tougaloo Alumni Bulletin
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REACH OUR ….
2011—2012 ALUMNI ANNUAL GIVING GOAL OF $1M
Alumni and Friends,
As we approach the end of another fiscal year, I encourage and challenge all
of us to reflect on what Tougaloo College has meant, means now, and will
forever mean to us personally and as a unified body.
When we reminisce about our experiences and fond memories, recognize
that what we have gained from these experiences, friendships, and fellow-
ship, was what brought us to where we are now; successful in whatever we
were purposed, we will realize that we are obligated to give our work, our
wisdom and our wealth back to Tougaloo because of what it has given to us.
Therefore, we must recommit ourselves, to recruit students, to reclaim alum-
ni and to provide whatever financial resources we can. We must recommit
ourselves to give our time, talents, and energy to help enhance the lives of
everyone that we touch for the Eagle Queen.
To assist the College in reaching its financial goal for the 2011-2012 fiscal year (July 1, 2011 – June 30,
2012), alumni are challenged to raise/donate $1million to the annual fund for operating purposes and we
need your help! It is not only important to raise dollars but to get our percentage of alumni donors up;
numbers make a difference! We are in a much better position to approach businesses and friends when
we show that we, the permanent constituents, are supportive of our own institution.
From the Office of Alumni Affairs, we encourage each of you to assist in this endeavor by making what-
ever contribution you can; no gift is too large or too small. We need your help to ensure that we not only
reach, but exceed this goal.
We have issued a challenge to the senior class to donate a minimum of $20.12 as their first gift to the Col-
lege. They have accepted the challenge! Won’t you join them in investing in the rich legacy of our dear
Eagle Queen? You can donate on our website – www.tougaloo.edu or by mail to:
Tougaloo College Office of Institutional Advancement
500 W County Line Road
Tougaloo, MS 392174
Please join Dexter J. Robinson ‘91, Assistant Director for Alumni Relations and me in making this a
banner fundraising year for alumni of Tougaloo College.
Yours for Tougaloo,
Doris Bridgeman ‘69
Director of Alumni Affairs Tougaloo College

This story can fit 150-200 words.
One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can re-use content from other marketing ma-terials, such as press releases, market
studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your prod-uct or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your
readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer
that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your
articles short.

“Chapel Afternoon”
By Jeffrey Yentz
This limited edition pen and ink print (shown below) of the organ in historic Woodworth Chapel. Entitled “Chapel Afternoon”, this work of art was donated by local Jackson, MS artist Jeffrey Yentz. Yentz is recently transplanted from Virginia where he served as Corporate Archi-tect for a regional healthcare system. Wanting to continue to make a difference, he and his wife Faye relocated to Mississippi in January 2009. During the passing months he became intrigued and enamored with the unique character Mississippi presented to him. The experiences in-spired him to translate each scene setting and personality into a pen and ink image intent on capturing the spirit of each.
“Chapel Afternoon” is one such example; these prints are signed and numbered by the artist.
To order a print, contact Edgar Smith at [email protected], Beverly Williams at [email protected] or Carolyn Price at [email protected]; all proceeds will provide support to Tougaloo College the Tougaloo Alumni Community
Chapter.
Price of Prints:
$25 for 11X17 – only four left
$50 for ~ 24X30 – only 12 left

APRIL 7, 2012 TWO RIVERS GALA WAS A BIG SUCCESS!!!
THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
The steering committee and founders of the Two Rivers Gala would like to
thank you for your support .
This Gala was one of our best attended and everyone had an electric good time. Gospel listeners and lovers of Great Gospel Music were entertained by two
brothers, Melvin and Doug Williams, the duo behind the Williams Brothers.
R&B performer, Eric Benet amazed the audience. A duet with a Tougaloo stu-
dent, had the audience on their feet.
Thanks for making the tenth annual Two Rivers Gala a success.

Your Support on April 7, 2012 was very much appre-
ciated
