Retirees first off the mark
On the first day of Trent's campaign, 10 of the 34 early donations came from university retirees.

        Donation requests are mailed to retirees 10 days before the official start of the campaign, "so that they have a chance to receive their package and reply in time for the first draw," says campaign co-ordinator Sybil Thorn. A lot of them are first off the mark to contribute to their former employer's campaign.

        By Oct. 15, 22 of 170 retirees had donated $2,820. They were among 178 donors who had given almost $39,700 by the same date. The goal is $51,000 this year.
