March 17 & 18, 2017 THE PARENTS ASSOCIATION BENEFIT FOR CONVENT & STUART HALL CELEBRATE SPRING LETTER FROM THE 2017 CHAIR This year marks 25 years of Celebrate Spring, and while the pieces of our Luncheon and Gala are all coming together, the actual celebration is about what this event will do for our community and the people it supports. In the fall, I had the opportunity to host a brunch for the phenomenal former chairs of Celebrate Spring and share in their collective stories and experiences. Although themes, details and locations have changed over the years, the heart of the event never has. The core purpose of our Parents Association is to continue supporting the outstanding educational opportunities at Convent & Stuart Hall. As I go through the ropes of Celebrate Spring for the second time, I am reminded of the thousands of volunteers and the hours they spent to get us to this amazing benchmark, and how this anniversary is recognition of all that energy. I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to chair such an important milestone, but my efforts are not a one-woman gig. I may have the best collection of volunteers ever and it is their combined blood, sweat and tears that will make this the party of the year. I thank you all for your support of them, me and the event. I can’t wait to Celebrate Spring with you!
