’Wick Community Spirit Triumphs Over Deluge
R
AIN OR shine: The Brunswick community spirit is always and everywhere on full display. And it was, yet again, at this year’s Annual Fund Thank-You
Party on May 30 despite a night of heavy downpours that forced
the nearly 200 attendees (400 RSVPs!) to take cover under a tent alongside the ever-popular pizza, taco, and hot-dog trucks. Upper School music teacher Shane Kirsch P ’23, ’28, along with special guest Pete Francis Heimbold ’94, kept the crowd truckin’ along to the tunes throughout the evening as parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends united to raise a glass to another successful year of generosity. Parents hit the 99-percent participation mark for the 11th year in a row, while faculty and staff made it nine straight years of perfection
02
with a 100-percent giving rate.

Loyal alumnus and parent Jimmy Ritman ’94, P ’28, ’31 also deserves a shout-out for his second year of service as Annual Fund Chairman. One thing’s for sure: The trucks (and the ’Wick loyalists) will be back in 2020. Let’s just hope they arrive under clearer and bluer skies!
