Dunlevy Milbank Golf Outing

For the fourth consecutive year, volunteers from Duke NY treated kids from the Dunlevy Milbank Center of the Children's Aid Society to an outing at the Westchester Golf Range in White Plains, NY.  On June 4th, the group traveled from NYC to the facility which is co-owned but Steve Quagliano, father of Mike Quagliano, former Duke men's golf team captain and current PGA touring pro.

The kids enjoyed basic golfing technique instruction from the golf range instructors follwed by a picnic lunch.  The event was a part of Duke NY's community service commitment to Dunlevy Milbank's Saturday morning Study Now - Play Later program where Duke alumns coordinate in-house and off-site activites on a monthly basis.

Remembering September 11, 2001

The Duke Alumni Association marks the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001 this weekend and remembers all those whose lives were taken, in particular the six Duke graduates:

J. Robinson “Rob” Lenoir ’84	A. Todd Rancke ’81
Peter Ortale ’87	Frederick C. Rimmele III M.D. ’94
Christopher Todd Pittman ’93	Michael Morgan Taylor ’81

Our thoughts are with their families as we reflect on that terrible day. The DAA will acknowledge the anniversary of September 11 with a memorial in The Chronicle on Friday, by placing wreaths in front of Duke Chapel, and by participating in a special Chapel service on Sunday morning.

The university also has organized a series of programs and tributes related to September 11.

The Duke Alumni Association family grieves with alumni around the world as we remember the morning of September 11, 2001.
