Do you like the Bison Alumni Newsletter? Do enjoy having a paper copy in your hands? Do you think others might enjoy a paper version of BAN for themselves?

Well, you are in luck. This fall, BAN plans to launch the subscription service for the twice/yearly newsletter. For a suggested $20 yearly donation (more is always welcomed), a full-color, printed copy of BAN will arrive in your actual mail box at your home or office.

Three years ago, the McCook Community Foundation Fund, which has the sub-account for BAN, began paying to have printed copies available around the community. Perhaps you have seen them around McCook at various locations where people sit and have time to read.

With those copies available, we have heard from others that they would like a printed version for themselves. While everyone will still have access to the email version of BAN, the printed option will soon be available, with the Fall 2025 copy. To keep costs down, at least 200 copies need to be printed and mailed of each edition. 

Consider a copy for yourself, for family members as a Christmas gift, or for friends as a birthday gift. Some McCook classes even print off for their entire class as a way of staying connected.

If this is something that interests you, visit the MCFF website at mccookfoundation.org to find the link to make a contribution. Or you can send a check to BAN Subscription, Box 525, McCook NE 69001.

Please include the name of the recipient(s), address and an email or phone number if we need to contact you.

For more information or with questions, please visit the MCFF website or contact MCFF coordinator Ronda Graff at 308.340.3412 or mcffund@gmail.com.

In the meantime, enjoy this copy of the Bison Alumni Newsletter and stay in touch with your hometown.
