'83 earns $15K as Most Improved! Way to go!

Results of the April Donor Challenge at DA are in and congratulations are in order.  Thank you so much for responding to the outreach of your class agents: Blain, Clark, Feiges, Fitzpatrick, Flagg, Knight, Singewald, Sullivan, Townsend, Weymouth and Wolf, who were led by the enthusiastic Doug Schmidt...

What a rally - with a week to go we had 20 april donors and the class of '74 had 27.  In the last week we added 17 donors and they only added 3!

The team will bask in the glory for a week or two, then its back to the phones to rally the rest of the class to make a gift by June 30 to help DA garner >50% alumni participation for the first time in 6 years...
