2017 Reach for the Stars Gala
NETWORKING FOR SUCCESS
Franne McNeal ’78 presented valuable networking tips.
The Reach for the Stars Auction and Gala was held on April 8. Guests enjoyed a live band, a wonderful meal, spirited bidding and great company. With the generosity of our Patrons, Corporate Sponsors, Auction Donors and attendees, more than $310,000 was raised to help Baldwin continue to evolve, innovate and challenge our students.
Gala co-chairs Alyssa Kay ’87 (P’21, ’23) and Andrea Seltzer (P’20) enjoy the evening.

Cisco and Bev Buella (P ’28, ’31) show off their Class of 2028 treasure.
On June 7, the Class of 2017 was welcomed into the alumnae community with a special luncheon and alumnae induction ceremony. They began the event with the annual gong ringing and then proceeded to the Assembly Room for lunch and remarks from Lisa Ameisen ’76 (P ’09, ’13), President of the Alumnae Association Executive Board. Other alumnae in attendance included Penny Tsaltas Lisk ’77, Carmen Lennon ’95, Amy Saler Ostroff ’85 and Margie Tranger Walton ’63.
Baldwin alumnae gathered in April and June for an evening workshop presented by Franne McNeal ’78 that focused on honing networking skills, learning effective tips for generating leads and gaining strategic insights for greater success in business. The event promoted opportunities for professional association and career development, leadership and fellowship among alumnae. Two more networking events are scheduled for September 12 and December 5. Log onto BaldwinConnect.org for more information.
