Big DU win over Duke in Men's Lax.

Thanks to Tony Sokolow '71 (pictured) and Peter Huidekoper '67 for joining us at the thrilling DU vs. Duke lacrosse game.  It was a nail-biter much of the way but DU poured it on in the 4th and won 14-9. This year we were graced with fine weather. It was especially nice to welcome our newest Club of the Rockies member Chris Sullivan '16 who is a freshman defenseman on the Denver team.  His parents were in town for the game as well so we were able to make them feel welcome too.  We look forward to seeing more of all three of them.

Three upcoming events! Feb 18, Mar 7 and Apr 22!

DA Club of the Rockies is revving into high gear!

Look for an email for tickets to DU men's lacrosse when they host DUKE on February 18th.  We would love to have a strong turnout as we welcome recent DA grad Chris Sullivan '16 to the Denver lax team.  Note also that Duke has two DA grads on their team: Joey Manown '16 and Teddy Henderson '13!  Hope we can get that picture....

March 7 is the official Deerfield event that typically happens every three years in our area.  You should have received and email - even so - here's the link to register.  Cocktails at the Museum of Contemporary art and a chance to meet new Athletic Director Bob Howe!

April 22 is the national Day of Service - so plan to spend your Saturday with fellow alumni and friends making a difference!  Details to follow.
