CDear Alumni,
Congratulations to the Class of 2012 and welcome to the Priory Alumni Association. Remember that you are always part of this Priory Community no matter how far away you live and how long it has been since you have been on campus. I encourage this 52nd graduating class to stay connected and never lose that bond you have with the Priory. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon.
There are many ways to stay in touch with the Priory. The easiest is by attending our regional alumni events. We hosted our 2nd Annual Social in Palo Alto in June and many alums came out and had a great time at the Old Pro. This past year I was able to return to some of my favorite places to see alumni and also venture to some new fun places. Among the places I visited were: Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Stockton, Napa and San Francisco. Every year Father Martin and I try to think of new places to travel, so next Fall we hope to make it to Orange County and visit many of our alumni in So. Cal.
2012 Reunion Weekend is September 7-9th for the classes ending in 2’s and 7’s. Hopefully by now you have heard from someone in your class about the reunion. The weekend kicks off with a Friday night reception in Father Egon Plaza. Saturday there is a coffee social in the morning for all alumni and alumni parents, followed by campus tours led by Tim Molak, Head of School. That evening we have a formal dinner in the Performing Arts Center, traditionally the highlight of the weekend with more than 100 alumni returning for their reunion celebration. The weekend concludes with an Alumni Mass on Sunday celebrated by Father Martin, followed by brunch in Father Egon Plaza.
If you want to get the most up-to-date news and invites to our alumni socials please be sure to join the Woodside Priory Alumni Association group on Facebook. We have nearly 700 alumni, and it is a private group for our alumni community only. There is also an alumni blog that you can link to from the school website under “alumni” at the top of the page. Or, if you’d rather, then please feel free to shoot me an email or call me. I really enjoy alumni contacting me and wanting to get re-engaged with the school, or just providing me with new contact information.
I wish you a relaxing, warm summer and hope to see more of you in the coming year!
Sincerely,
CaseyWynn Alumni Relations
