Report from the ALANA Town Meeting, 2/12/05

Those of you who missed the ALANA Town Meeting on February 12th missed out on an important networking and support opportunity. Recent alums Isalys Claudio '04, Nikia Kelly '03, and Juan Pegues '01 joined many other members of the alumni/ae Bishop Healy Committee to offer advice, wisdom, and encouragement to about a dozen current HC ALANA students. Host Joe Reilly '55 quickly adapted the traditional small-group format so that everyone could participate in a single discussion.

Topics ranged widely and included helpful suggestions. Among these: the irony of HC social life ("Having complained about HC social life, as alums we now now find ourselves CHOOSING to get together with HC ALANA friends in a room, playing music and talking"), suggestions for sponsoring "get acquainted with Worcester tours" and young alum mentoring, and the power of Rev. Catherine Reed's leadership in worship and Bible study ("Could it be called something other than 'non-denominatonal' and promoted separately from the other worship opportunities?"). [All comments, above, are composites of actual comments.]

Thanks to the Bishop Healy Committee for hosting this annual forum, and to Joe Reilly for his love and support of all ALANA students. See you next year at the ALANA Town Meeting!
