Message from AADC on Impact of Hurricane Ian

October 3, 2022


Dear Alumnae and Friends,


We are reaching out to share a message with our AADC community for those among us who are experiencing the devastating effects of Hurricane Ian’s wide and powerful path. Our hearts go out to those impacted directly and countless others who provide support and encouragement to loved ones impacted and experiencing losses. 


We especially note our AADC Regional Connection Groups in Florida along both the west and east coasts, our North Carolina Wilmington and Raleigh/Durham Regional Connection Group, as well as alumnae who stay connected with the AADC from across Florida, whether they be local to the state, snowbirds, or vacationers.


As millions of people in Florida begin the road to recovery, as well as those impacted in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and along the east coast, and in the Caribbean and Cuba, we offer our message of support and hope in the times ahead. Our alumnae community, from near and far, have also experienced other recent adversities and challenges, such as those impacted earlier in September by Typhoon Merbok, including Alaska, and Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico. 


During times like these, we appreciate and admire the outreach and concern demonstrated by our AADC community as alumnae and friends connect with us and with each other via social media, email, text messages and phone calls to bolster each other's spirits or just to check in. Staying engaged can bring relief and comfort to members of our community just as they need it most.


We truly are a caring community of 39,000 strong, resilient, and optimistic people, and we will manage to get through this latest series of extraordinary events together. We want you to know that we are thinking of each and every one of you. 


Please stay safe, strong and connected.


Jeanne M. Fox ’75, AADC President
