Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
October has surely been a busy month for the Catholic High community as we hosted many admissions and advancement events! We began the month celebrating the Feast Day of our patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi, and recognizing deserving recipients of this year's Alumnae Awards. Catholic High was pleased to host several other events this month such as the 37th annual Math Olympiad, Open House, and regional Alumnae Luncheons.
Please take the time to read the wonderful stories in this edition of the October Alumnae Monthly Update. We hope you will spread the good news of Catholic High, especially as we approach the heart of our recruiting season. We also look forward to welcoming you to our Gala, A Taste of Tuscany, on Friday, November 10!
Lux Tua Luceat,

The Alumnae Giving Project | |
Hello, Alumnae!
This month, The Alumnae Giving Project made a donation of much needed items to Angels Supporting Your Troops.
A thank you letter contained these sentiments:
“Thank you so much for the supplies you donated. With the holidays approaching, it will help us to fill the care packages with needed goodies. As always, we are truly grateful for your support to the troops.”
Christmas is right around the corner! We just received a list from the senior living community that we help during the Christmas season. Senior citizens living in this community have no living relatives and are of low income. Residents usually request a gift card in addition to other items. The average amount spent on each resident is $50. Please consider giving a monetary donation or donating necessary items.
If you are interested in helping the Alumnae Giving Project throughout the year, please contact Bonnie Lee '60.
I appreciate your help, as always,
Bonita (Bonnie) Lee '60
