Deck the Halls and Help Raise Walls!
Saturday, December 22, 2007

Congratulations to Board Fifteen for a successful evening. 
A special thank you to Miguel Carrillo ('91 graduate of St. John's College High School) our emcee for the evening. Miguel is one of D.C.'s finest stand-up, improv, sketch comedians. (see bio. below)

Thanks to all those who came out to support the event, the Alumnae Association was able to raise enough donations to participate in Rebuilding Together's Washington, DC revitalization of Anacostia Park. Rebuilding Together was recently awarded a grant from HGTV's Change the World Revitalization effort to:

• Build a playground for at risk children at a daycare center on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue;
• Install a chairlift into a home so that the elderly homeowner can reach his 2nd floor – where the only shower in the home is located;
• Significantly rebuild the home of a severely disabled woman who has 5 children Repair collapsed ceilings and floors in multiple homes so that residents may be safe in their own homes.

The Alumnae Association will partner with Upper School students, those that attended the evening fundraiser, other local corporations, and Rebuilding Together in an effort to revitalize Anacostia park in Washington, DC. The afternoon of social action is scheduled to take place the last weekend in April. Stay tuned for details.
