From the President – October 2024

Welcome to the October edition of the Old Girls’ Association Blog!
This month, we are excited to feature a number of our outstanding alumni, including two of our Mercy Award finalists: Diann Black (1982) and Libby Wilkes (Woodgate, 1984). Their remarkable contributions truly embody the values of the College.
We also catch up with Gabby Blyth (Chaffer, 1999), a proud alumni who has recently taken on the position of Head of Admissions at the College. Gabby’s deep connection to Santa Maria makes her a wonderful addition to the team.
Looking ahead, the Golden Girls’ Luncheon is fast approaching! This event is one of the highlights of the year, and we can’t wait to welcome back those who graduated 50 or more years ago.
Finally, Save the Dates have been sent out for our 2025 Reunion celebrations! We are excited to see these year groups come together in February:
Class of 2020 – 5-Year Reunion
Class of 2015 – 10-Year Reunion
Class of 2005 – 20-Year Reunion
Class of 2000 – 25-Year Reunion
Class of 1995 – 30-Year Reunion
