Sean Michael Cordry - Cumberland, MD. Development office installs Century Club The Development Council began a new gift club to reward donors and promote Harding. The Century Club, in its second year, grew in membership. Membership was obtained by making a $100 or more donation to Harding. Every year thereafter members received a colored bar representing that calendar year's participation level. There were four levels of membership, classified by amount of donation; Century ($100), University ($250), Heritage ($500), an,4 Presidential ($1000). Each level MEMBERSHIP PLAQUE.

These were bronze, silver, maroon, and black respectively. The different levels showed continual recognition and motivation of the smaller donor. Doug Campbell said, "This type of recognition shows the appreciation we have for all donors and that all are a part of the Century Club." Donations have increased since first starting the program. From 1988 to 1989, the first year of the program, individual donors increased on all four levels. According to Campbell, the advertising of the club helped to spread the word. This was done through direct mail pieces, the Harding Bulletin, and word of mouth. Campbell was pleased with the overall response to the program. His department has received several letters from grateful donors. Mr. and Mrs. V .J. Shanklin wrote, "I received the Century Club plaque and charter member bar. Thanks so much .. . I am so proud to be a member of the Century Club." Toward the end of each year the Development Council let each donor know the total they had given in that year. This let the Club member know the status of his giving. Campbell says, "This will cultivate a donor to step up to the next level of giving if they are only a few dollars short." Campbell hoped this program would be part of the solution to retaining Harding's donors. He said, "Through the Century Club, we have been able to incorporate a multitude of individuals into a group of caring, concerned Christians who through their support tell the story of Harding." - Trish Shanklin
