Special Opportunities for Gift Club Members

Gift Club members provide the highest level of unrestricted support to the school. In return, the school provides a number of opportunities for Gift Club members to go "behind the scenes" for a firsthand look at the programs their gifts make possible. This summer, the school inaugurated a new tradition - the Beaufort Experience Weekend - for Gift Club members. Members and their families were invited to spend July 20-22 at the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort exploring Pamlico Sound and learning about advances in marine conservation biology from the Marine Lab's distinguished faculty. (See story on page 18.) For an invitation to the Beaufort Experience Weekend 2002, join one of the Gift Clubs listed to the right and mark your calendar for July 19-21, 2002. Educational activities will once again be available for family members of all ages.

A second educational event is available to members of the William Preston Few Association. Members of the William Preston Few Association will gather in Washington, D.C. in May for a special lecture and dinner. To receive an invitation, join the William Preston Few Association before May 1.

Heintzelman to Lead Annual Fund

Richard "Dick" Heintzelman MF'69 will succeed Bartow "Bo" Shaw F'64 as the Nicholas School's representative to Duke University's Annual Fund Executive Committee. "Dick Heintzelman is the perfect choice for this committee," said Bo Shaw, former chairman of the Annual Fund. "He knows the school as a student, an alumnus, a parent, a former president of the Alumni Council and a member of the school's Board of Visitors. I predict great things for the Annual Fund under his leadership and know that he will enjoy the camaraderie and great collaboration of this universitywide group." Shaw represented the school on the Executive Committee from 1992-2001.
