| 2008 Homecoming & Reunion Weekend
The Providence campus is
normally filled with students, laughter and learning during
the day. By 5 p.m. on November 7, 2008 over 100 alumnae
filled the halls and gym to kick-off their Homecoming and
Reunion Weekend. As Sunday arrived, over 200 alumnae had
attended at least one of the five events during the weekend.

Friday nights events began
with a rousing volleyball game between the alumnae team and
the Providence varsity team. The alumnae team won three out
of the five games scheduled for play. Congratulations to
Joyce Mendez 83, Terry Sardo 63, Barbara Wilkinson 78,
Stella Vela 92, Veronika Gutierrez 08 and Jennifer
Guerrero 98 for games well played!
Following the volleyball
game, alumnae gathered in the Provet Cafι to gather their
dinner and mingle. The classes of 1963, 1968 and 1978 met in
first floor classrooms to reunite and create more memories.
We had just over a hundred alumnae attend the Friday night
event titled Girls Night Out.
The Athletic Department
organized the 2nd Annual 5K run/walk. Although it was an
early start from a late evening, we had alumnae come out to
participate. Christina Rodriguez Brezovay 97 placed second
in her category. Congratulations to Christina and all other
alumnae who ran or walked in support of an all-girls
education!
Later in the early evening,
over 70 alumnae attended a special Homecoming and Reunion
Weekend Mass held at the Conventual Chapel of the Sacred
Heart at Our Lady of the Lake University. A special thank
you is extended to our alumnae Elaine Knodell Bir 77,
Theresa Gros Gold 58, Irma Cardenas 63, Terry Sardo 63,
and Jessica Flores 08 for participating in this special
mass. Click

Mass was followed by the last
event of the weekend, the Remember When
? dinner and dance
which was held in the gym. We had 70 alumnae and guests
attend. The dinner was catered by Catering by Celebrations
and alumnae danced the night away to music provided by the
Dan Michael Experience.
The weekend was a success in
large part to all the efforts of many hands. Thank you to
the following people for lending their time.
