Last July the Fairmont State Alumni Association contracted with Publishing Concepts, Inc.(PCI) to launch a project to update contact information for all alumni and to create a new alumni directory.  We have received notification from PCI that the directories will be shipped at the end of August.  Those that purchased directories should receive them by mid-September.  If you have any questions regarding the status of any orders placed with PCI please contact their customer service desk at 1-800-982-1590 or by email at customerservice@publishingconepts.com.
