Alumnae Magazine News – KDHQ sent word that total sales for the 2009-2010 Magazine Sales Campaign were $483,016.00, with alumnae chapter orders totaling $9,703.98. CAKD sold $97.00 last year. The KD Chapter House fund reaped the benefit of 50% of these sales this year.
There are several ways to support the KD Chapter House fund through magazine sales this year. You can find an alumnae or collegiate chapter to support by following these instructions:
1. Go to http://kd.efundraising.com.
2. Type the name of the alumnae or collegiate chapter where it asks for “Chapter Name”
3. Click on the “Find Button”
4. When “Search Results” are displayed, click on the name of your alumnae chapter.
5. Click on “Shop for Magazines” to take you to your AC or CC’s online store.

Each collegiate chapter has a minimum sales requirement per member, so please consider helping out one of the lovely chapters in our sisterhood. Generally 50% of total sales go directly to the KD Chapter House Fund.
