Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,

During this season of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the dedicated alumnae of The Catholic High School of Baltimore. You show your support in so many ways such as supporting our Green and Gold Fund, attending school fundraisers, and continuing your legacy by sending your daughters to Catholic High.
As we conclude the month of November and draw close to the Christmas season, I encourage you to support Catholic High on National GivingTuesday on November 29. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to kick-start our Sr. Mary Arnoldine, OSF Kitchen Restoration Project. Catholic High's GivingTuesday efforts can be found below in this edition of the Alumnae Monthly Update. I thank you in advance for supporting TCHS on National GivingTuesday.
I extend my warmest Thanksgiving Blessings to you and your families!
Lux Tua Luceat,

Fall Drama Success Continues! |
Do you remember back in 1990 when Catholic High's Theatre Department presented Oliver for its Fall Drama? This month's edition of From the Archives features Amanda Garrison Pilcher '93 and Kristina Hugel Spencer '93 performing a scene.
This year's Fall Drama production was Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker! The Theatre Department put on an amazing performance for the audience last weekend. Congratulations to the cast and crew on all of their hard work!

The Alumnae Christmas/Giving Project Updates |
The Alumnae Christmas Project is in full swing gathering gifts for needy children and senior citizens. If you haven’t already sent your donation, please do so as soon as you can. We could really use your help!
The Christmas and Giving Project made another donation to the Archdiocesan Grief Ministry Project and below is the thank you letter we received. This outreach provides groceries to the families left to care for children of homicide victims in Baltimore City.
"Thank you so much for the package that was waiting on my desk this morning! WOW! This is incredibly generous, and I am so grateful. The gift cards will go to such important use for these families."
As always, I appreciate your support of the Alumnae Giving Project.
Fondly,
Bonita (Bonnie) Lee '60
