AACC Foundation Gala – the Future’s Looking Bright!
Titled “Welcome to our Future,” the black-tie event held October 13 at The Westin BWI was also an opportunity for the college’s community and supporters to meet Dr. Dawn Lindsay, AACC’s new president. As Dr. Lindsay addressed the attendees, she noted how proud she is to be serving as president of a college that enjoys so much community support.
“A community college is much like a community garden,” she said. “It calls upon all of us to tend to it. When it’s properly nourished, it will grow and help sustain the entire community. And that’s why I’m grateful to everyone in the community for your involvement and participation.”
Beginning with a cocktail reception, the elegant event included delicious cuisine, a special program and dancing to the music of DJ Frank Dominguez. Guests also had the opportunity to bid on dozens of generously donated silent auction items ranging from a generator to diamond earrings.
Along with Dr. Lindsay, the AACC Foundation is grateful to the many donors, event committee members and the community for the generous support that will go a long way toward helping the college achieve its important mission in providing the highest quality education possible for its students.
