MEAGAN AND CHRIS RIZZO
Engaged [now married] Virginia Army Officers Register for Operation Education
Two Army officers who never attended the University of Idaho have ‘registered’ the Operation Education Scholarship Program on their wedding Web site.
Meagan Bacharach and Chris Rizzo will be married Jan. 5, 2008 in Fairfax, Va. They concluded that the merger of two complete households did not leave them needing much and chose to list two service-member benefit opportunities in lieu of the usual items.
Rizzo suggested guests be offered the opportunity to donate to the Operation Education scholarship fund, as well as the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
“Between the two of us, we really have enough things,” Bacharach said. “We want friends and family to be with us on our wedding day. The best wedding gift we could receive is for all our family and friends to be with us on Jan. 5.”
“We would encourage those want to send a gift to send a donation to Meagan’s favorite wounded warrior program Operation Education at the University of Idaho or my favorite military charity the Special Operations Warrior Foundation," said Rizzo.
Bacharach is a1997 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., and a 2003 alumna of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Science medical school in Bethesda, Md. She currently is doing a Nephrology Fellowship at Walter Reed Medical Center. She is the daughter of University of Idaho graduates, Sam ’71 and ’80 and KayEllen Bacharach ’69. Kay also is the National Capitol Region Alumni Director.
Rizzo received a bachelor's degree in 1992 and a master's degree in 1993 from the University of Rochester in New York. He currently is deployed overseas.
