This summer, the SFS Alumni Association hosted our inaugural summer series, Spend Your Summer with Friends. It was a fantastic season, with more than 300 alumni and friends attending one of eight social events across the country.

Our West Coast Regional Club events took place in San Francisco and Los Angeles. In San Francisco, it was a family affair, with adults and young ones alike. Alumni attendees spanned the classes 1947 to 2013. Activities included a private tour of SFMOMA and a cafe reception. In the Los Angeles region, friends and family escaped the busy city and explored the charm of Ojai at the home of Marta Ferro '89.

On the East Coast, Boston welcomed alumni to gather at the Friends Meeting in Cambridge followed by a tasty brunch. One of the alumnae in attendance was so moved by getting together with fellow members of the SFS community that she spoke for the first time in Meeting after attending for more than 70 years. In New York City, alumni immersed themselves in the growing beer community with a guided tour and tasting at Brooklyn Brewery. An alumnus, who is a 10-year resident of New York City, traveled to Brooklyn for the second time ever just to attend the event! In Martha's Vineyard, our alumni enjoyed a lively evening social hosted by Tova Ferro '82 and her parents, Frank and Ursula Ferro (P'82, 89), with special guests Associate Head of School Ellis Turner and Upper School Principal Mamadou Guéye. In the midwest, Chicago alumni came together to enjoy a picnic with live classical music in Millennium Park.

Back at home in Washington, DC, we cheered on the Nationals in 90+ degree heat in early July, and in August the DC Regional Club hosted a picnic and movie night behind Zartman House. Alumni and other SFS community members enjoyed the inspirational film Hidden Figures while snacking on popcorn under the stars.

It's hard to believe the summer is already winding down. Thank you to everyone who was able to Spend the Summer with Friends! A special thank you to all our event hosts, Regional Club committee members, and army of dedicated volunteers; we could not do it without you! Our events and programs are made possible through the generosity of alumni support of the SFS Annual Fund.
