A Second Homecoming

A familiar Mayfield face embraces a new role

Many of you know Nicole Cosand, who has served the Mayfield community for the past nine years as our Director of Annual Giving and Alumnae Relations. Nicole will now be focusing 100% of her energies on serving Mayfield’s alumnae community as our new Director of Alumnae Engagement.

“I am so thrilled to continue my work at Mayfield,” Nicole said. “Mayfield’s alumnae welcomed me with open arms nine years ago, and working closely with everyone in Alumnae Council and our community on class reunions, career and service days, networking mixers and so much more, has truly brought me a lot of Mayfield joy!”

If you haven’t already met, Nicole would love to say hello! She welcomes your calls and emails at (626) 799-9121, ext. 226 or nicole. cosand@mayfieldsenior.org.

Alumnae send warm wishes to the moms of LAMP

Each January, Mayfield alumnae collect and donate winter gifts to the moms at South Central LAMP, a special ministry of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. For this year’s “Actions Not Words” effort, alums assembled “winter start-up kits” with top-totoe cold-weather essentials including hats, gloves, socks, rain boots and hand lotion. “Thank you so much for organizing this great gift for the women,” said Diana Pinto, Executive Director of South Central LAMP. “Please pass on our gratitude to everyone!”

Thank you to our Mayfield alumnae and families for your generous donations, and special shout-outs to 2019-20 Alumnae Council President Kayla Yokoyama Dodge ’07 for rallying the troops, to Jessica Harley James ’95 for her beautiful calligraphy on the name tags, and to Irene Izquierdo Patterson ’83 and Carolyn Cota ’06, who joined us at LAMP to share the goodie bags. Stay tuned for more ways to support this Holy Child ministry.

The Class of 1966 rocks!

**The Class of 1966 celebrated their 50th class reunion in 2016. (Annette Carhartt Brandin ’66 is in the front row, holding the trophy!)**

The intrepid and inspiring Class of 1966 has once again made Mayfield history. Their “Actions Not Words” support of our Alumnae Holy Child Scholarship Fund has made them the first class ever to win both Alumnae Giving Award trophies four times— no other class has ever achieved both top giving honors!

This year, they raised over $14,000 for our Holy Child Scholars, with donations from an impressive 75% of their class—that’s more than double the participation of the runner-up class. This spirited group of Mayfield-loving ladies has stayed closely connected to each other and to their alma mater for more than 50 years, and has supported the Holy Child Scholarship Fund since its launch in 1990.

We say a huge thank you to the Class of 1966 for their ongoing support, and a special shout-out to their fearless leader, Annette Carhartt Brandin ’66, for tirelessly rallying her class to give with generous hearts. Classmate and lifelong friend Candida Genzmer Crowe ’66 calls Annette “the glue that binds the Class of ’66 together” and Anne Kortlander ’66 agrees, adding that Annette “has always been a rock for our class.”
