NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT By AJ LeGaye, Alumni Council President
Apple-picking, school starting, pumpkin-carving, DREAM kicking off, leaves turning, Homecom-
ing, Alumni donating. Yes, my fellow DREAM Alumni, Fall is in full swing! Camp is winding down, but
DREAM Fridays are back. DREAM programs throughout
the Northeast are finding out how much they miss the class
of 2010, but also how much they love recruiting new men-
tors who will spend the next four years immersed in the pro-
gram that we all love. Mentors are reuniting with mentees
who undoubtedly grew up way too fast over the summer,
and mentees are once again continuing their personal growth
because of the tireless efforts of our dedicated mentors.
We all know how special DREAM is, both as an or-
ganization that brings together young, socially-minded, car-
ing individuals and as a program that effects real change
within kids and across communities. DREAM’s self-
sustainability and continued growth (say hello to MIT!) is
impressive, but it’s impossible without the support of Alum-
ni. We, as Alumni, hold the keys to the past and the future of
DREAM: our knowledge, expertise, and memories will for-
ever be part of its foundation and history, but our contribu-
tions as Alumni will allow the organization, OUR DREAM,
to thrive.
Please consider giving in this year’s Alumni Appeal. Let’s give back to the program that has giv-
en, and will continue to give, everyone so much.
DREAM Bigger and Better,
AJ LeGaye
President, 2010-2012
