Willowbrook to honor Distinguished Alumni/Distinguished Service class of 2017 inductees

Willowbrook has nearly 60 years of Pride, Tradition and Excellence, and the alumni and staff members who helped make Willowbrook the great school it is today are recognized annually through the school’s Distinguished Alumni/Distinguished Service Awards program.

The class of 2017 inductees will be recognized on Sept. 28 during a dinner in their honor at The Carlisle in Lombard, as well as on Sept. 29 during Willowbrook’s Homecoming festivities.

To attend the dinner, RSVP by Sept. 22 to Isela Aquino at 630-530-3439 or iaquino@dupage88.net. Be sure to include the number of people you will be bringing, the spelling of their names and whether you would like to request the vegetarian entrée. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m., and tickets cost $50 each (the inductee and one guest are complimentary). To see the dinner invitation, go to https://tinyurl.com/y956uwuv.
