2007 was a noteworthy year for the Club… Los Angeles Club Endowed Scholarship: In 2007, we asked for your support to endow our scholarship fund. Your response was overwhelming. We not only achieved our fundraising goal, we exceeded it. With your generous support and a matching gift from Saint Mary’s, we raised enough funds to endow the Los Angeles Club scholarship. We have created a lasting legacy, which will help students from Los Angeles for years to come. The first Los Angeles Alumnae Club Scholarship was awarded to Kendall Davis ’11 from Los Angeles at the start of the 07-08 academic year. Kendall intends to pursue a nursing degree. Did you know… that 27% of the class of 2011 has an alumna connection to the College? The current freshman class has seven students from the Los Angeles area and it is the largest freshman class in over 20 years. Encourage someone you know to apply to Saint Mary’s. Did you know… that for the academic year 07-08, Saint Mary’s tuition and room and board was $35,550? Are you aware that 90% of Saint Mary’s students receive financial aid in the form of scholarship, grants, work and loans? With the endowment of our scholarship fund, at least one Los Angeles area student will be awarded a scholarship on an annual basis. Student Send-Off: On August 9, 2007, alumnae and current students met at the Cheesecake Factory in Redondo Beach to “send-off” new students from the Los Angeles area to Saint Mary’s. New students, Kendall Davis ‘11 and Sammy Bello ’11, attended the event. Saint Mary’s student, Megan Pelc ’08, and alumnae were there to provide Kendall and Sammy with some pointers and helpful hints for their first year at Saint Mary’s.Founders’ Day: On October 27, 2007, the Los Angeles alumnae celebrated Founders’ Day. Los Angeles alumnae, husbands/partners and friends were graciously welcomed by Holy Cross priests, who celebrated mass at Saint Monica’s Church in Santa Monica. After mass, a luncheon was held at Marix Tex-Mex. Richard Baxter, Director of Special Events for Saint Mary’s was the Club’s special guest. Richard attended the beatification of Father Moreau in Le Mans, France on September 16, 2007 and shared his experience. YOUR DUES ARE DUE! The club is currently accepting dues for 2008.
