Calling all the ICHS Prep and High School Graduates who will be in Jamaica this weekend !

I really didn’t think it would be appropriate to let another month go without saying a great big ” THANK YOU” to all our members and non-members who contributed their time, talents and treasure to make the 150 Anniversary celebration a memorable one.

We know that many of us are swamped with work, trying to raise children, taking care of our parents, providing support to our spouses and friends, and many worthwhile causes. We know that when you take even an evening, a day, a few days or more to be a part of the Alumnae, it is a sacrifice and we truly appreciate it.

Many of you are busy but a call from Sr. Maureen Clare or one of the executives results in an immediate “yes, what do you need me to do?”

This Sunday, March 8, we request the pleasure of your company at 4 p.m. in the St. Francis Hall to come and hang out for a couple hours. We want the opportunity to socialize, hear your thoughts, express our thanks, clarify or expand our mission. Many of you are already working for the good of school and country but what more can we the graduates of ICHS do, be, contribute, to advance the school and country. We want you to be aware of what we are about, (e.g. sponsorship and Ozanam home) and to hear all that you are doing.

Many of you had expressed a need to do more (whether it be prayer or action) after the tragedy late in the year. Even if you didn’t get a chance to be part of 2008…please come out. We have another 150 years to think about :) . Those of you whose toe may have gotten stepped on over the years, give us another chance to show how much you mean to us…please come out. Finally, please email us at ichsalumnae@hotmail.com and tell us if you are coming so that we make sure the snacks stretch…(we may have used up our miracle quota last year… :) .

Love and Peace to all of you.

Lisa Foster-Thomas Membership Officer.
