AASA Thanksgiving Lunch 2012
March 17, 2012 has marked another year for the annual AASA Thanksgiving Lunch for Scholars and Benefactors. Present were the 23 current AASA scholars, the Board Members of the AASA headed by Mr. Victor Claravall and the generous alumni benefactors and supporters of AASA. Notable guests were Fr. William Kreutz, S.J., founder of AASA, Dr. Manny Dy, Philosophy professor at the Ateneo, Mr. Hector Guballa, Assistant Vice President of the Office of University Development and Alumni Relations and Mr. Monchito Roco, current Adviser of AASA and former President of the Ateneo Alumni Association.
It was an afternoon of good food, music and great company. Mr. Ron Cruz introduced the members of the EXECOM while Mr. Heaven Torres entertained everyone with his witty introductions of the AASA scholars. Mr. Edward Capacio, a new member of the EXECOM, presented the year-end report about accomplishments of AASA for the year and its activities in line with its 25th anniversary. The highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of the Fr. Thomas B. Steinbugler, S.J. Endowment Fund and the commitment to establish the Fr. Nemesio S. Que, S.J. Endowment Fund.

The Gift of An Ateneo Education
The Ateneo Alumni Scholars Association (ASF-AASA) would like to share an opportunity for you to give a gift that you also once received! The gift of an Ateneo education offers students a chance to develop in an environment which fosters academic, social, and spiritualgrowth. Such an environment instills core values and ideals which are essential characteristics of responsible leaders and nation builders. Supporting an Ateneo scholarship means offering deserving students the opportunity to make a significant impact as 'men and women for others.'
