It’s the start of another year, a time when people around the world set goals for themselves and pledge various ways in which they will make a difference in their communities.

Whether you’re already a member of Mighty Cardinals Nation or are looking to join, you may decide that 2022 is the time for you to take action and get more involved in your alumni community. The great news is that no matter where you live and how much time you have, there are always ways for you to get involved and show your support.

Here are just a few examples of how you can spend 2022 as a more active member of your alumni association.

• Volunteer: There are always opportunities available to volunteer both with our organization and within the school district. Reach out any time to learn more about these opportunities, and where the need for volunteers intersects with your interests and talents.
  
  
• Events: We host alumni events whenever possible, and always love to see a great turnout from people of all ages and years. Make it a point to show up at a few events this year to get more plugged in and really feel the benefits of being involved in this community.
  
  
• Donate: If you’re too far away or lack the time to volunteer or participate in events, you might consider donating instead. In addition to your membership tiers, there are plenty of opportunities to donate to the organization or to various educational initiatives within the district. Your donations will help current and future generations of students enjoy many of the same formative experiences you enjoyed in your time in school.
  
  
• Advocate: Regardless of your available time or money, this is a big way you can help the organization. Be proud to be a member of your alumni association and spread the word to other fellow alumni who might be interested in getting involved. Share posts on social media, share photos of your attendance at events, forward newsletters, bring up your experiences with the organization in conversation--whatever you can do to be a strong advocate for our community.

Happy New Year and hope to see you around at our events this coming year!
