3 Why do we need to raise Restricted and Unrestricted Funds? Answers: –The government only provides funding to SUFFICIENCY. –U. S. Naval Academy Alumni, Midshipmen and Parents desire EXCELLENCE. –Do you want the U.S. Naval Academy to look like the Norfolk Naval Station or the U.S. Naval Academy? –Do you want the Ogle Hall (Alumni House) to look like an old historic building falling into disrepair or a Historic Flagship Building for the Alumni Association of USNA symbolic of EXCELLENCE?

4 Why do we need to raise Restricted and Unrestricted Funds? (Continued) Fundraising is the DELTA that turns sufficiency into the MARGIN of EXCELLENCE!!! You are the DELTA!!!! Be a member of the team who supports EXCELLENCE by contributing within your means. Class of 1970 has 120 loyal givers who have doing the contribution heavy lifting over the years. Are you one of these 120 classmates? If not, now is the time to become an energized participant.
