LETTER FROM ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT, ZERLINE GOODMAN Dear Friends, You have been amazing over the past year. Thank you. You have shown as much interest in Yale Squash as at any time in our history. It has been particularly thrilling to see how many younger graduates have become involved. Many of you were at a terrific opening season party at the Yale Club in early November. Some of you played in a pre-party round-robin or met some of the current men’s and women’s teams, and everyone celebrated the women's 2004-06 teams, which were three-peat national champions. If you weren’t there, you simply must come next time! We plan to do more events like this that have no agenda other than to get Yale squashers together. Your financial support is critical to help us not only continue to build excitement and connect our community but also provide the resources necessary for the success of the current team. Many of you may not realize that Skillman’s goal each year is to raise the entire annual budget for the Men's and Women's Teams. Head Coach Dave Talbott and the current teams need you to take part in helping to keep our amazing Yale Squash program going strong. Please, grab your credit card and give to Skillman now at:

You also may be interested to know that a primary focus for Skillman for the next few years will be to fully endow the program so that the annual budget will be guaranteed and your support will go instead to growing and consistently improving the entire experience. We are gearing up for that push now, and Coach Talbott has made it clear that this is at the top of his list of things to accomplish during his tenure. You will hear more from me, Dave, and Bob Gould '81, who is heading up the endowment committee. We already have significant commitments from a number of you, and there is no doubt that we will reach our goal. After all, Dave always gets what he wants. In the meantime, the current team needs your support for this season. Thank you so much for your help and your enthusiasm. Very Best, Zerline L. Goodman
