Math teachers André Ambroggi and Vincent Guimer both helped out- M. Ambroggi tending bar and M. Guimer acting as resident photographer for the evening.

Lippe Taylor, P.R. provided a Bath & Bodyworks' Aromatherapy fragrant gift set that was presented as a Thank You to Vivianne for all her hard work. The Spring Cocktail was a great success, not only because it attracted so many alumni, but also because it brought together so many different constituencies of the school, from faculty to students to staff members to administration to trustees. The Alumni Association gratefully thanks all those who made this evening possible. |
