Alumnae Day 2007 - A Huge Success!
September 16th, 2007 by webgirl
If you missed the School of the Brown County Ursulines Alumnae Day Celebration, you really missed out on a great event. Once again, the lovers of all things BCU gathered to celebrate our association with the Brown County, visit with classmates and make new acquaintances.
An Incredible Turnout
Sr. Agatha reports that this may have been the biggest Alumnae Day turn out ever (at least since she’s been keeping the records!) Over 100 graduates, former students, faculty and staff pre-registered - that was astounding in and of itself. To top things off, folks just kept showing up! At this writing, the final count is not in, but there may have been over 120 attendees.
Fun and Fellowship
“Controlled Chaos” are the words used to describe the noise and excitement in the Playhall. Suffice it to say, it did get loud in there, but if this is an indication the enjoyment factor, then it bears repeating: Alumnae Day 2007 was a Huge Success!
Anniversary Classes
We recognized the Anniversary Classes of 1937, 1942, 1947, 1952, 1967, 1972, 1977 and 1982.
Cheers and Tears - Highlights of the Day
Standing ovations abounded. After 2 successful years at the helm of the BCU Alumnae Association, Jean McNamara turned over her gavel to loud cheers for her dynamic leadership.
- The Class of 1982 was recognized by an Honorary Graduation Ceremony complete with Pop and Circumstance. Each member of this class in attendance was presented with an Honorary Diploma and a red rose.
- The Class of 1967 made a significant contribution to the new The Funds for Nuns effort.
- An auction of a beautiful quilt incorporating pictures of the Ursuline Sisters ended with the Sr. Patricia having the winning ticket. By the end of the day, the quilt was hanging in the Archives for all to enjoy. Perfect!
- Alumnae Day activities ended with a gathering for dinner at the General Denver in Wilmington, OH for more fellowship, fun, conversation and good food.
