This past year I was invited to become a member of the New ENgland Regional/chapter Alumni Association of Linden Hall School for Girls. In the months followed we had zoom meetings (that I ended up having to miss because of scheduling conflicts.
In early spring a few of the girls organized our first in person meeting lunch for June. It was held at Michael’s Harborside Restaurant in Newburyport MA. I drove up that morning while the others drove in from New Hampshire, Maine, Mass. We spent the next couple of hours talking of our memories of our time at Linden Hall.
Near the end we got to discuss our goals and plans for the future of the chapter as we are the pilot.
We will be helping the alumnae association promote the school. We were told there is no hared Mary Dixon Chapel. If that's not working let me know. Doing this on my er. HaptE ThThe virtual tour was an hour and let by a Debbie and one other lovely lady. It showed the day students lounge and the beautiful organ. Those of us in attendance shared memories and asked questions.
There is a lot of interest in other regional chapters across the country.
We have been given an assignment if you will. We have to reach out to our new england sisters and encourage them to join. I have one for a class of 82 who lives in CT that need to reach out too.
There are a lot of other activities coming down the pike for the Alumnae Association and although I am not going to be able to participate in all of them its nice to see.
