What is the Lakeside/St. Nicholas Alumni Board and what does it do?

HE BOARD MEETS on campus monthly from September to June and works to “assist Lakeside School in creating and maintaining a vibrant and engaged greater Lakeside alumni community.” Each member signs on for a three-year term and serves on one of three committees. The activities committee plans events and activities (think Alumni Row, Beers with Bernie for young alumni, and After School Specials, where a Lakeside faculty member teaches a class for alums).
