Almost $50,000 was raised in September at the 24th annual Lion Lancer Golf Outing, held in October. The tourney supports scholarship for the young men and women who attend Loughlin. Golfers overcame both a gloomy forecast and a pandemic to be with us. More than 80 golfers, family, and friends joined us at Inwood Country Club in Inwood, NY.

In addition, several hundred alumni (Loughlin, Lancers and Bishop McDonnell) and friends took part in the Bro. James Aurelius Raffle Prize drawing. Congratulations to winners Dom Camera ’60 ($5,000), Alfred Cavuto ’63 ($2,000), and George Molaro ’57 ($1,000).

We are very grateful to our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and friends who made the event a success. ◊

REUNIONS

TWO REUNIONS PLANNED FOR 2021!

Alumni reunions are a treasured event for the entire Loughlin community. For the fi rst time in recent memory, Loughlin was forced to cancel the annual fall reunions because of the pandemic. We missed seeing proud alumni from 1950 (and earlier!), 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990,1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.

OCTOBER 2021 will bring two reunion gatherings to Loughlin:

Saturday, October 2 for all classes ending in “0” or “5” and Saturday, October 16 for all classes ending in “1” or “6”

Please be sure to mark your calendars and check your emails regularly for updates and important information coming from the Offi ce of Institutional Advancement.

CLASSES GATHERED TOGETHER DURING THE PANDEMIC

On October 24, approximately 50 members of the Class of 1990 (celebrating their 30th Anniversary!) met virtually with the help of Class Coordinators Darlene Cumberbatch and Michelle Greene. Through their engineering and planning, graduates from all over the world — even as far away as Hawaii, were able to participate in the meeting!

As the end of the initial “meeting” was drawing near, Robin Huger used her account and sent another link to extend their time together! They talked, laughed, and reminisced about the good ol’ days into the wee of the morning! With several toasts being made throughout the evening, Reverend Kimberly Council closed the meeting with prayer.

A second virtual “meeting” for the Class of 1990 was held December 12. Connect with their Facebook and Instagram pages to learn more.

The Class of 2000 also held a virtual gathering on October 17. Coordinators Jenina Nunez, Deyka Ortiz, Angel Lopez, and Keefe Clark organized the group of graduates where the members of the Small Band sang. There was an attempt at the school song and a special appearance by Mr. Mike Foley! “Not bad for a bunch of 38-year-olds!” Ms. Nunez, Class Coordinator, is currently working on scheduling a second virtual meeting and connecting with more classmates! Class of 2000 Zoom reunion!

What a fantastic way to reconnect! If your Class Coordinators are getting you involved, engaged, and connected we’d love to hear all about it! ◊

STAY CONNECTED!
