On Friday, October 7, 2011, more than 90 guests gathered for a Donor Appreciation Event at the historic Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois.

Festivities kicked off with some time on the green, with attendees playing a round of golf at the famed Medinah #3 Course.

Guests then enjoyed a cocktail reception in the Country Club lounge. Lt Gen Mike Gould, '76, Superintendent, presented a brief on the future of the Academy, followed by remarks from Gen (Ret) Stephen R. Lorenz, '73 President and CEO of the Endowment, and "T" Thompson, '73, President and CEO of the Association of Graduates.

Both the Endowment and the AOG would like to thank the club sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Faganel and Dr. and Mrs. Hank Crossetti for their generosity. We would also like to offer our thanks to the donors, parents, grads, and friends of the Academy in attendance -- we couldn't do it without you!
