CCARE Annual Reunion 2023
On Thursday, May 25th, the CCARE Reunion for 2023 was held in the newly renovated Wilna Thomas Building. It was a glorious day to come together to
experience the imaginatively revitalized facilities while also renewing old friendships. CCARE Chairperson, Nancy Sly, welcomed the approximately 75 attendees, and introduced John Boraas, VP Education, and Jody Kitts, Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations, who both brought greetings from the college. One of CCARE’s Founding Members, Pat Floyd, introduced the first speaker, Gordon Alexander, who spoke about Wilna Thomas, for whom the building was named. Gordon and Wilna were great friends so he spoke with first hand knowledge of this unique and amazing woman. Following this, Sybil Harrison shared the creative planning process that resulted in the wonderful re-imagining of the Wilna Thomas building as it now exists. Following the presentations, attendees were free to mix and mingle, grab a coffee and renew old friendships. See the the Photo Archive (right) for photos of many of those who attended, spoke and helped organize the event (and don't miss the last photo of our special guest whom everyone was "fawning" over). And finally a shout out to this year's organizers, led by Cathy Dye. Cathy’s role on the CCARE Executive is Reunion Coordinator. Each year, Cathy works with Sandra Tennant and Katie McCroarty at the college to plan our reunions. Thanks to these fine women, and many other helpers, our reunions are always extremely well organized. |
