Chemin de Fer

Chemin Chairs Russ and Julie Clever and Ann and Mike Ficken with Sister Glavin

Our 400 guests were on their feet several times during introductory remarks at Chemin de Fer 2012—applauding the work of Chairs Russ and Julie Clever and Mike and Ann Ficken… recognizing the longtime contributions of Honorary Chairs Mike and Dianne Carroll Boerding… and appreciating Kathleen Carroll Parvis and her Decorations crew for creating a truly awesome environment in which to enjoy our African safari. Sunset on the Serengeti was a memorable evening thanks to the donations, hard work and support from so many in the Academy community. As always, fantastic auction prizes are the engines that drive this charity train, and among those that generated special excitement this year were the Eighth Class girls quilt, a European masquerade party, an autographed David Freese jersey, Madonna concert tickets, and a traditional African dinner for ten prepared by Sister Glavin.

Asante sana to our many Chemin de Fer sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers!
