ALUMNI CONNECTION<br />
The <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> Alumni<br />
Association Networking Gathering was held on<br />
January 17, at Aurelio’s Pizza in Homewood. At the<br />
event, more than 50 alums enjoyed pizza, drinks,<br />
and the MCHS Men’s Basketball game on a cable<br />
broadcast. The upbeat gathering brought in alums<br />
of all ages and allowed attendees to reconnect with<br />
their <strong>Marian</strong> roots.<br />
“The Networking Gathering was a very nice event, it<br />
is always exciting to see <strong>Marian</strong> alumni and talk about<br />
how to grow the Association,” said James Murphy ’05,<br />
Communication Coordinator for MCHS Alumni<br />
Association. “Events like these reinforce the fact that<br />
<strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> has shaped me into the person I am<br />
today, and for that I will be forever grateful.”<br />
The Alumni Association offers a variety of roles<br />
to members. For alumni seeking a more causal role<br />
within the Association, networking gatherings are a<br />
great fit; however, leadership roles are also available.<br />
Established in 1988, the <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> Alumni<br />
Association continues the mission of advancing and<br />
sustaining the <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> experience for future<br />
generations. Every alum is automatically a member<br />
of the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association<br />
builds friendships by providing a national network<br />
for all alumni through publications, programs, and<br />
events, serving as a liaison to the greater school<br />
community.<br />
The next Alumni Association event will be held<br />
at the Union League Club on Thursday, June 6,<br />
from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. For further information<br />
contact Carol Burke Swanson ’81, Director of<br />
Alumni Relations, 708-756-9775 or<br />
