CAMPAIGN AND CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
The $75 million McDonogh Forever Campaign officially kicked off in November 2011, and the campus is already beginning to transform. Here is the latest: - In early June, Doyles Woods House was demolished and trees along Woods Road were cleared to make way for a storm water management pond. The pond is still being excavated.
- The baseball field renovations are complete.
- Dump trucks galore have been depositing topsoil for the various construction projects.
- The two homes across from the dining hall are ready to be razed. Parking lots will occupy this space as well as Field #7 behind the R-L Center.
- The sub-pad and turf for Field #5 are being installed.
- The Lower School's turf playground should be complete in mid-August.
- BGE has been moving the utility poles in order for the widening of McDonogh Road to begin.
- Installation of the traffic signal at Woods and McDonogh Roads has been delayed until a design is approved to construct a culvert under the road.
- Fencing has been installed to keep pedestrians safe.
When funding is in place, construction of the Naylor Building for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will start, followed a few months later by the St. John Student Center. Demolition of Lamborn Hall and the construction of the Rosenberg Campus Green will then follow. If all goes as planned, students and faculty will occupy these new spaces in the fall of 2013. The nearly $63 million raised to date includes the stunning $30 million challenge grant from the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation as well as pledges to be paid over extended periods.

REUNION WEEKEND RECAP
 Reunion Weekend on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 provided a perfect opportunity for alumni to reconnect. There were events galore, including the Cum Laude induction ceremony with former Headmaster and alumnus Bill Mules '59 delivering the address, 'Then & Now' with alumni and third graders, campus tours, classroom visits, an evening cocktail party, alumni games, and close to 500 guests of all ages at Saturday's crab feast and picnic. On Saturday evening, classes ending in 1 and 6 gathered at venues all over Baltimore for their individual reunion parties.
Cavalry and riding alumni celebrated their history on horseback at the first-ever Cavalry Reunion during the day on Saturday. Members of the cavalry from the classes of 1935 to 1974 recalled their unique roles in the semi-military program. Riders from the 70s through today also came to celebrate. The group dedicated a brick patio adjacent to the new Eagle's Nest indoor riding arena. Current riders also honored Streett Moore for his 25 years as director of McDonogh Riding.
Save the date for next year's reunion: April 27 & 28, 2012.

MEMORABLE MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE
On Thursday, May 26, the McDonogh community gathered around Memorial Court for its annual tribute remembering alumni who died in military service. However, this year was different as ten alumni veterans joined as the school's special guests, invoking an emotional response by many.
Lower schoolers thanked alumni veterans by singing "The Memorial Day Song" and after the ceremony, students and guests visited the Alumni Memorial Field House lobby, where Butch Maisel '72 displayed four tables of WWII equipment.

CONSIDER McDONOGH IN YOUR PLANNED GIVING
Did you know that the IRA Charitable Rollover has been extended through 2011? If you're 70 1/2 or older, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a gift to the school as it:
- is excluded from your gross income
- counts toward your required minimum distribution
- is a simple way to make a gift from one of your major assets
For more information on this opportunity or for other planned giving options, contact Director of Gift Planning Barry Rollins at 410-581-4771 or brollins@mcdonogh.org. |

We did it! Thanks to the generosity of our donors, The McDonogh Fund had a record-breaking year, and we exceeded our goal of $1.6 million. Giving from our alumni increased both in total dollars and participation. Thank you, McDonogh alumni, for your generous and thoughtful support!
