Bobcat Connection: February 1, 2023
It’s hard to believe we’re already one month into the new year. February is a time to celebrate love and helping others, and we hope we are on your list of things that have brought you joy in 2023!
Calling all classes ending in 3’s and 8’s — your class Reunion is right around the corner and registration is now open!
Summer is the perfect time to come back to campus and reconnect with your Bates friends.

New Incentives for Charitable Giving
Now is a good time to consider a charitable gift annuity! The new year brought provisions that allow donors aged 70 1/2 to use IRA assets to fund life income gifts, and gift annuity rates have increased 0.6% to 0.7%.
Bye, Bye Bad Meetings
Beyond getting practical advice for eliminating common derailers, we’ll learn about an alternative system that breaks the mold of “the way we always hold meetings,” in this webinar.
Bobcat Reads: Black Cake
Bobcat Reads will be discussing Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson from January 6 — March 10, 2023.
