Board Chair Kevin Maroni presented the award on behalf of the Alumni Committee. Minnie Ames, Class of 1986 I t is hard to imagine Park School’s alumni community and not think of Minnie Ames. A dedicated and loyal leader, Minnie has consistently demonstrated the power of the strong connection among our alumni, and between our alumni and the School. In the twenty-three years since Minnie Ames graduated from Park School’s Grade IX, she has remained an integral part of the alumni community. Minnie has been a very active member of the Alumni Committee since 2001, including service as the Committee’s Co-Chair from 2007–2009. During this time, Minnie played a key role in determining ways to improve the Alumni section of the Park website, rallied support among classmates and friends at a variety of Alumni events, and led the Committee through two very successful years of Alumni outreach, programming and fundraising. In the fall of 2006, Minnie stepped in to help Park’s Alumni Relations Office when the former director for alumni relations was on maternity leave. During this time, Minnie spent countless volunteer hours planning the Alumni holiday party and taking on many additional responsibilities. Minnie played a key role in establishing the Class of 1986 Financial Aid Fund, which supports Steppingstone Scholars at Park. Minnie’s dedication to Park extends beyond the campus. As a former co-chair of the Alumni Committee’s Volunteerism Sub-Committee, Minnie organized a volunteer event for alumni at the Food Project in Lincoln and helped to facilitate outreach at the Women’s Lunch Place in Boston. Now that Minnie’s daughter, Lucy, is a member of Park’s Class of 2018, Minnie’s legacy at Park School carries on in a multi-layered way. We are grateful for Minnie’s many years of thoughtful and dedicated service to both Alumni and the greater School community, and we know her future service to Park will continue to be an inspiration to us all. 42 The Park Bulletin | Fall 2009
