2005-2006 Fall Directions - Friends' Central School

TAKE NOTE
Ann Satterthwaite has been on the Friends’ Central Board
of Trustees since 1986. She served as Co-Clerk of the Board
with Debbie Hull in 2004–2005 and was appointed Clerk in
May 2005. Beginning in 1974, Satterthwaite spent five years
working at FCS as Assistant Director of Development and
Director of Publications, concentrating on admissions,
planned giving, fundraising, and publicity. Reminiscing on her
time spent at FCS as Director of Publications, she remembers
being in awe of Trustees as she snapped pictures at events.
Satterthwaite warmly states, “It never entered my mind that I
would become a board member and I’m still very humbled by
it all.”
After years of working in the areas of development, marketing
research, and publications management for Haverford
College, Drexel University, Schultz & Williams, Inc. and other
organizations, Satterthwaite launched her own company, The
Ann Satterthwaite Company, in January of 1998. She serves
non-profit groups representing the arts and culture, social
service, education, the environment, and health care; clients
include Girard College, The University of the Sciences in
Philadelphia, Planned Parenthood, and the Lower Merion
Conservancy. As Clerk of the FCS Board, she is looking forward
to “working with an extremely talented and diverse
group of Board members to face challenges that all independent
schools face: endowment, financial aid, faculty and staff
salaries and benefits.” Satterthwaite also enjoys her continuing
work with Headmaster David Felsen, who she believes is leading
the School “in the right direction, in the right way, at the
right time.” In addition to her position on the FCS Board, she
is First Vice-President of the Board of the Pennsylvania Prison
Society. Outside of her professional accomplishments,
Satterthwaite enjoys wonderful relationships with her son,
Andrew Newcomb ’87 and husband, Jim Bergen. She is also a
member of Germantown Monthly Meeting.
Carol Mongeluzzi (Devon ’08 and Andrew ’10) loves
Friends’ Central because “there is such a balance” between
the rigor of academics, arts, and athletics and the serenity
of downtime where “kids can just be kids.” A Thomas
Jefferson-educated psychiatric nurse who once worked in the
Child/Adolescent Unit of Hahnemann Hospital, she is now a
full-time stay-at-home mother who is passionate about family,
animals, painting, drawing, skiing, and running. She boards
her horse, Duke, at a Penn Valley barn that is also home to
alpacas, donkeys, sheep, and pigs; the barn has quickly become
her home away from home, as she derives great pleasure from
her animal ardor. Carol is also a frequent traveler—she and her
family recently traveled to Africa (including Cape Town,
Johannesburg, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) demonstrating her
free-spirited and energetic nature. As an FCS volunteer, she is
Adrian Castelli, James “Brad” Bradbeer, Ann Satterthwaite,
Larry Reichlin, Carol Mongeluzzi
a parent representative and is presently on the Middle School
Book Fair Committee. She views her membership on the Board
of Trustees as an “opportunity for personal growth,” one which
adds a “new dimension to [her] relationship with FCS.” Because
the School has been such a vital part of her children’s lives,
Carol seeks to give back, offer a new perspective, and meet
interesting people.
Adrian Castelli (Peter ’07 and Will ’09), co-owner of
Narberth and Gulph Mills Tennis Clubs and Julian Krinsky
Summer Camps and Programs, has two boys who love Friends’
Central. With a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Biology
from the University of Pennsylvania, Adrian’s activity within our
community stems from a desire to give back and make positive
change in the world. Adrian was the founder of the Philadelphia
Relief Foundation that supported social work homes in North
Philadelphia. He also served as Trustee and Board President of
Riverbend Environmental Education Center. Currently, Adrian
personally funds PALS Summer Camp, which pairs Down
Syndrome children with non-Downs peers. He and his wife
Molly Love chose FCS because “community is as important as
education.” Adrian looks forward to serving on the Board of
Trustees and participating on a greater level within the School
community. He enthusiastically states, “My time and commitment
are small in comparison to what FCS has given my sons.”
Larry Reichlin (Aaron ’10 and Jake ’12), partner at packaging
distribution company Zuckerman Honickman, Inc., will now
add FCS Trustee to his long list of community activities. He is a
member of the Board of Trustees at The University of the Arts,
serving on both the Development and Finance Committees. On
the Board of Overseers at the Institute of Contemporary Art at
Penn for the last twelve years, Larry is Chair of the Nominating
Committee and a member of the Executive/Strategic
Planning/Endowment Committee. He also serves on the Board
of Overseers at Albert Einstein Healthcare Network. At Friends’
Central, Larry is a member of the Development and School Life
Committees and Co-Chairs the Annual Giving campaign with
his wife, Norma. While their two sons are quite different from
one another, Larry confidently believes that FCS is the “perfect
school” for both of them. He joins the Board of Trustees assert-
