The County has obviously experienced a very robust economy for nearly two decades. The dramatic downturn in the economy near the end of the last decade, which brought a sudden halt to the housing market, has temporarily stalled the burgeoning growth; but signs of an improving economy are expected to once again stimulate additional growth in this small county, which is perched at the edge of the Chicago collar counties. Numerous opportunities, and some obstacles too, will result from the many changes this county has been experiencing; not the least of which is an anticipated strain on the transportation system.

    Philanthropy in Action 2017-2018 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2 A+ FOUNDATION From the President BOARD Donald Pilmer* The term, philanthropy, is one which sometimes seems to belong to an elite, President well-moneyed class of individuals. As a result, most of us don’t think of ourselves Ingrid Roney* as philanthropists. In reality, however, each of the names within this report is a Executive Director philanthropist – an individual whose gift has made a difference. This sort of grassroots philanthropy is important because it provides opportunities for so many who, without Kerry Proczko those gifts, may not realize the potential which exists in all of us. Vice President Randi Ochsenschlager* The A+ Foundation for West Aurora Schools believes in the transformative power of Secretary education and funnels its efforts, through the allocation of philanthropic gifts, to the George Malina* staff, students, and community which is West Aurora District 129. The very existence Treasurer of the A+ Foundation is due to the generous nature of our supporters. And, while A+ is proud of its key endeavors like the Hall of Honor, Excellence in Education, Dr. Jeff Craig Richard Kerns Fund-A-Need, and Banding Together, if it weren’t for the continued support of our Donna Letzter community, alumni, and sponsors – our very own philanthropists – A+ wouldn’t be able Whitney Martino to implement these initiatives and honor our mission. These ‘West-side Philanthropists’ Johnna Mortenson* contribute in a variety of ways – bequests, corporate sponsorships, endowment Neal Ormond* contributions, honorariums, #ILGive, individual donations, payroll deduction, planned Linda Pilmer* giving.

It takes a village to pull off a weekend-long party, and in addition to those of you who helped out over the weekend, we had a supportive team working hard for the months !leading up to the reunion: Vicki Leonardi McCoy helped to find classmates in cyberspace, and Beth Bales Olson !got the word out to the local papers to spread the reunion news. Ellen McCrimmon Achilles coordinated the purchase and planting of the memorial tree, !and created the lovely tribute in the lobby at Orchard’s. !When we “teed up” the idea of a golf outing, Jim Haried made it happen.
