D.C. Gloria Cagigas traveled to
Baltimore where she joined alumni
from the Baltimore/Washington
D.C. area for dinner. More than 20
alumni and guests attended the

It’s been a very busy fall and
winter! I am so excited about the
opportunity to make connections
with regional alumni volunteers
throughout the country. Upcoming trips take me to Erie and the
Akron-Canton-Cleveland areas…but that’s just the beginning. Write
to me or call me if you are interested in making connections for
Westminster in your area. I’d love to hear from you.
