Dear Concordia Alumna/us,
 
It was incredibly exciting to be at the Concordia Invitational Tournament this year! Both men's and women's teams won their games on Friday and made it into the championship round. Both played a thrilling game and came away with second place - GO CARDS! The student section - the Red "C" - was a force in the stands. Remember those days? Next year, CIT will be at the Wisconsin campus and the following year at Ann Arbor again. Mark your calendars - let's make both tournaments memorable with record alumni attendance.
 
In His Service,
 
Laura Thomas
Director of Donor Relations

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.  As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.  And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.  I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  John 17:17-21
