REGIONAL CONNECTIONS ALUMNI EVENTS
p CHRISTMAS AT KRAYNAK’S — More than 130 alumni and friends of Westminster attended the free VIP viewing of the region’s famous Kraynak’s Holiday Display in Hermitage on Saturday, Dec. 9. To avoid lines, George Kraynak and his wife, Penny Rice Kraynak ’75, opened the display early just for our Titan family and friends. At the end of Christmas Lane, attendees were greeted with the opportunity to take a photo with Santa Claus before he departed for the North Pole. A special thanks to the Lawrence, Mercer, Clarion, Youngstown regional alumni committee for helping coordinate the event.
Regional events are open to all alumni and friends of Westminster College. The Office of Alumni Engagement works with volunteers to plan events in cities and regions across the country.

u TITAN OUTREACH — Members of the Student Alumni Association (SAA) hosted a Titan Spirit Day on March 1 at Shenango on the Green, a retirement community across from campus. Attendees, most with some level of connection to Westminster College, enjoyed an afternoon of painting Titan spirit signs and spring bird houses—in Titan blue and white of course! The community service project was a new effort by the SAA to engage their immediate geographical demographic in College activities.
