Dear Esteemed Alumni,[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Thank you for your concern and support as we continue to move "Onward & Upward" in our recovery efforts. [/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]We encourage you to visit the eaglesNEST for up-to-date news regarding the status of the Daytona Beach campus and opportunities to contribute.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times,serif]As of Wednesday, January 4, 2007, the recovery efforts following the Christmas Day tornado are ahead of schedule. Damage assessments have being made, aggressive cleanup efforts are underway and rebuilding plans are in place.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times,serif]Although the University is well insured, President Dr. John Johnson estimated that the total damage to the University is between $50 - 60 million. This estimate includes the 40 airplanes that were destroyed and 10 that were damaged.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times,serif]We have received many emails and phone calls from alumni voicing concern and wanting to help both physically and financially. We appreciate your willingness to help, and in response, have established the "Rebuilding Fund." By making a contribution to this fund, your support will be used in the recovery effort. [/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times,serif]"We are very proud of our Embry-Riddle family members who have stepped up to offer their assistance and support," said University President Dr. John Johnson. [/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times,serif]Because Spruance Hall - home of the Office of Alumni Relations - was severely damaged by the storm, staff members have moved to a temporary location on campus. To contact the Office of Alumni Relations staff, please email us at [email protected]. You may also reach us at our [/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times,serif]direct phone lines [/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times,serif]
