Past ITE Scholars have shared with us how very much they appreciate your email and snail-mail messages. They have also shared a few helpful ways for members to lend support. 1. Please print your messages to them since many do not read cursive. 2. When you send personal notes, please include your email address for their responses to your messages. 3. Gifts are never expected, but if you do choose to send a gift card or gift, please keep in mind that the Scholars do not have cars and especially appreciate deliveries to their residences. 4. Most of the ITE Scholars come from tea-drinking rather than coffee cultures. The ITE Scholars want you to know that they treasure their connections with you and appreciate your many, many kindnesses to them.
