EXAMS ARE COMING!

This means it’s time to watch your mailboxes for an offer from The Fortnightly Club of Roanoke College for our Exam Survival Kit. This is the ONLY exam kit offer which has a connection with the College—we’ve been doing this for 24 years. We are not an off-
campus commercial group. Our profits and donations go to our Endowed Scholarship fund which now stands at about $22,600.

TOP 10 REASONS TO PURCHASE A FORTNIGHTLY
CLUB SURVIVAL KIT

10. It’s easy.
9. It’s inexpensive, especially compared with other kits of this kind.
8. It contains healthy snacks.
7. It contains junk food and an anti-stress prize!
6. Profits go to the Endowed Scholarship which benefits RC students.
5. Your student will actually receive something in the
“Disappointment Boxes” (the mailbox).
4. You can also purchase “extra” kits for roommates, boyfriends/girlfriends without having to take out a loan to do so.
3. You love your child and want him/her to know it in
a tangible way.
2. The Kits are made and distributed by loving Moms and Grandmas who also care about your student.

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON YOU SHOULD
PURCHASE A FORTNIGHTLY CLUB SURVIVAL KIT—

1. Each kit has a half dozen dee-licious homemade cookies!


It’s unbelievable, but true! In only six weeks your student will be completing papers and studying for exams. Tension! Stress! Knotted stomachs! Sleepless nights!

How can you help your student?

For 24 years, The Fortnightly Club of Roanoke College has been providing an Exam Survival Kit filled with snacks for parents to purchase to help their student through the studying process. You can’t be there yourself, but the Survival Kit will show your student you care! Students will pick up their Survival Kits on the last day of classes or Reading Day at the Colket Center.

The women of Fortnightly are still baking the cookies; we do the assembling and distributing. This keeps costs down for you! We are the “official Roanoke College” Exam Survival Kit group. Any profits go to our Endowed Scholarship. Outside commercial solicitors have no endorsement from the College.
