Making our Dream
Piece a Reality
Dear Fellow Alum & Friend:
My name is Matthew Allen, ACND `83, and I have accepted the
role as Chairperson for this groundbreaking endeavor for our ACND.
The reason for my acceptance and particularly my interest in
this project can be attributed to my beliefs. I believe in ACND. I believe
as an alum, I have a vested interest in the betterment of this institution.
And lastly, I believe that all of us can make this dream piece a reality in
creating a better environment for our future, namely our children.
I want my children to have the ACND experience, the tradition
of excellence, and the unparalleled camaraderie shared by nearly 8,000
graduates that spans over 5 decades.
I share these beliefs with the alums (listed on the back of
this brochure) who have committed themselves to making this dream a reality.
It is our belief that you too will be committed to this first major building
project in over 30 years.
Our “Dream Team” challenges you, your class and your
decade, to make the difference. Your pledge can be made payable over two
years.
Rise to the challenge. . .we have. All levels of
participation are welcome. Join us.
Together, we are ACND!

Matthew Allen, ACND `83

which is proving to be our legacy.
