TDear Priory Alumni,
This year has been one of many changes in the Alumni Office and I am excited to tell you about them. These changes allow the Priory to reach more alumni and re-connect with so many that have wanted to return to campus, but haven’t had the opportunity. In August of 2010 we had our first Alumni Board meeting, which consists of 6 dedicated alums who are focusing on building a stronger and well thought out plan to help the Priory in its efforts to expand the alumni community activities. We have had 4 meetings since last summer and by this fall we hope to expand the board with more members and continue the quarterly meetings. If you are interested in getting involved with the Alumni Board please email me at alumni@prioryca.org.
In January we sent out our first alumni survey, via email and facebook, and more than 10% of the alumni community responded. Thank you to everyone who participated. If you haven’t taken the survey yet and would like to, you can find the link on our facebook group (Woodside Priory Alumni Association) or on the Priory Alumni Blog (www.prioryca.org/ alumni). Your feedback will help us to plan for the future in terms of what alumni events we offer, what type of mailings we send and how we communicate with you.
We have begun advancements in our communications with alumni by starting an alumni blog on the Priory School website and will soon unveil a new look in our monthly broadcast emails. Due to your feedback and an effort to keep up with changes in technology, we have decided to eliminate the online community and only use facebook and the blog to inform the alumni of what is happening at Priory and the Alumni Office.
There are several alumni events coming up this year and we hope to see new faces along with the “regulars” at these events. Our 3rd Annual “after work social” in San Francisco will be at the MarketBar on May 11th. Father Martin and I will also be making a trip down to Los Angeles this May for an “after work social.” Reunion Weekend is September 9th - 11th for the classes that end in 1 or 6. This year will be the first year that we have a 50th reunion class and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with our alumni.
I would like to thank all of you for your generous support and participation in our events. The Priory is grateful for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Casey Wynn Alumni Relations
