Another Successful
Chemin de Fer
   

Nearly 550 guests made their way to the Winner's Circle on Saturday, May 5 for the Academy's 33rd annual dinner auction, chaired by Eighth Class parents Jay and Tammy Mudd and Kevin and Teresa Killian. Chemin 2007 was an ebullient mix of dining, socializing and bidding within the Churchill Downs-like setting of Rauch Memorial. Honorary Chairs of this year's auction were Tom and Joyce Schneider. The Post-Time Derby, ASH 500 drawing and special fund auction added extra excitement to the evening. Our thanks to all who contributed to the success of Chemin de Fer, including our donors, volunteers and guests.
