@HER_storian Dear Colleagues is good. If you are using a memo format rather than a letter format then "To the Evaluation Committee:" is fine too. We've kind of lost the habit of "To Whom It May Concern," but that's always good. Helps us practice the dative case :-)

On our first wedding anniversary, Bruce gave me a single rose. The next year, he gave me two. Then the next year, three. And now, you can see how long we've been married (40 years today) and how happy I am about that. Happy anniversary, Bruce!
