Homecoming a Big Success

Throughout the Reunion Weekend, many CHH alums enjoyed the variety of events celebrating Homecoming. The Bond Street Social had perfect weather in Fells Point and it was an opportunity to meet and greet the new dean, Patricia Davidson.
The alumni who attended lectures on Friday raved about the tour and hearing Dan Sheridan speak. On Saturday, it was very exciting to see 11 members of the Class of 1963 celebrate their 50th anniversary and become the newest “Golden Girls.” Also, nine members of my own class enjoyed the festivities as we celebrated our 40th milestone. There was representation from 1942-1976 with everyone having a great time.

The raffle basket was won by the new dean, who promptly donated it to the Development department to enjoy. The jewelry donated by Martha Wheeler Addison ’75 generated over $300!

10th Anniversary Fund Growing!

The response to the letter that was sent asking for support for the 2014 10th Anniversary Fund is growing. Please send in your contribution as soon as you can. No donation is too small and every dollar is appreciated. To date, we have approximately $26,000. Let’s really make an impact next September when the Plaque is unveiled and our relationship as consortium members of the Alumni Association is set forever!
