Alumnae Update

Dear fellow members of the Ursuline Alumnae Association,

ALUMNAE SPOTLIGHT
Please click here to check out our June Alumnae Spotlight on Christy Valentine!

LAST CHANCE
We have just one week left until the end of our fiscal year (Tuesday, June 30), which means one week left to send in your donation, if you haven’t already done so, for the 2008-09 Serviam Annual Fund Drive. For payment information or to make your gift online the fast and easy way, click here. As always, we thank you for your generous support of Ursuline Academy and appreciate your contribution for the continued success of our dear Alma Mater.

ALUMNAE INVOLVMENT WITH CURRENT STUDENTS
The Ursuline Identity Team (UIT) is planning to sponsor monthly sessions on life topics throughout this coming school year. As a way to help increase alumnae involvement with the current students, the UIT has asked for alumnae participation in leading the sessions by speaking to the girls about your current profession or instructing them on any basic skills that may be needed throughout life in general. If you are interested in participating, please click here for more information and a list of topics on which the students, through a survey, have already shown interest.

The UIT is a group that was established by the Central Provence of the Ursuline Sisters to uphold and continue the teachings of St. Angela for all members of the Ursuline community. Through this team, all members of the Academy, including the current students, continue to keep the mission of St. Angela alive.

PICTURES!
To view fabulous and fun pictures of our remaining events from the end of this school year, click on the name of the event: Alumnae Sponsored Senior Luncheon for the Merry Macs of 2009, Super Terrific Happy Hour, Washington DC Chapter Gathering, Baccalaureate Mass, and Induction into the Alumnae Association.

ALUMNAE CHOIR – Interested?
Several alumnae have expressed interest in formulating an alumnae choir to perform at some of our functions throughout the year, mainly the Alma Mater at Homecoming Mass in the fall and at the Alumnae Induction in the spring. We would like to get a general idea of how many people might like to be a part of it. If you are interested in joining this talented group of alums, please let us know by e-mailing me at alumnae@ursulineneworleans.org.

TUNE IN!
We received word that Ursuline Sister and alumna, Bridget Haase ‘59, is currently scheduled to be featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams this coming Thursday, June 25 on their ‘Making a Difference’ segment. Please tune in to see one of our own! If you miss it, additional material may be posted on their Web site at www.msnbc.com

Hope you’re all having a fantastic summer!!

Sincerely,

Cara D’Antoni ‘90
Alumnae Director
