Thank you to all class board members who have been volunteering for you behind the scenes.   In November, the board networked with current students in a virtual meeting with the Class of 2025 Class Board.  The current MHC juniors were very interested in learning what the Class of ’75 did for Junior Show!  Board members have also been reaching out to classmates on behalf of the Development Office, and in January,  will participate in initial Alumnae Association reunion planning.
