Water Brigade at Saint Mary's on Move-In Day
For the third year in a row the Alumnae Association distributed water to the newest students of Saint Mary's as they moved into their new "home" on Thursday, August 20. We all know that the cool summer days we experienced in July will be history as move-in day is traditionally one of the hottest days of the year!  Needless to say, our simple
gesture was much appreciated by everyone.
