Alumni Return for Reunion Weekend
October 3, 4, 2008
          

We are pleased to report that Reunion 2008 was the best Reunion yet with a record number of alumni in attendance.  Below is a description of each event.
The second annual Reunion Lovefeast was a success.  Mr. Theodore A. Rosenberger was honored as a Distinguished Alumnus for his leadership in the technology business and for his philanthropic philosophy.  Ted gave the meditation and talked about how we should give gratitude to everyone deserving because it makes a difference.  Both alumni and students were present.  Other alumni participants were Chad Decker ‘92, President of the Alumni Association presented Ted with his Distinguished Alumnus plaque, Freddy Vasta ‘99, Vice President of the Alumni Association, Zac Cohen ’95 Secretary of the Alumni Association and Jane Beckel Bannan ‘42. 
 It was a perfect fall afternoon for the Alumni Golf Outing.  Foursomes teed off at Northampton Country Club enjoying an afternoon of fun.  Golfers either put together their own groups or let us take care of it for them.  Golfers enjoyed a buffet lunch on the terrace before teeing off.
 Back by popular demand, the Starters Riverport Cocktail Party was a huge success with over 170 alumni attending.  Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were enjoyed by alumni from the classes of 2004 back to 1948.  The feeling of reconnecting was electric as alums met up with classmates they and not seen for years!  Headmaster George N. King, Jr. and Charliese King joined the fun and welcomed alumni. 
 Saturday’s events kicked off with The First Annual Family 5K Fun Run/Walk For the Trees on the Merle-Smith Campus.  Over 150 alumni, students, parents, past parents and faculty showed up in the rain to participate.  T-shirts were given to all participants.  The money raised will go to the Campus Beautification Project which includes landscaping the Chrin Complex Fields. 
 The Lunch and Program took place in a large tent in front of Snyder House on the Merle-Smith Campus at Green Pond.  Participants in the Program were Headmaster George King, Chad Decker ‘92, President of the Alumni Association, Freddy Vasta ‘99, Vice President of the Alumni Association and Zac Cohen ‘95, Secretary of the Alumni Association and Liz Verhalen ’96, Secretary of the Alumni Association.  Class trophies were presented for participation in the Annual Fund and Top Donating Class.  After the short program, the over 150 alumni and guests enjoyed lunch together while the Upper School vocal group, Coda Red, sang the three alma maters and entertained with a few other songs. 
 After lunch, the second annual alumni field hockey game took place on the Upper Fields.  Spectators watched as former Moravian Academy field hockey players drove and dribbled the ball down the field.  Mrs. Bross, field hockey coach since 1980, officiated the game. 
 Class Dinners took place on the Merle-Smith Campus at Green Pond in two locations.  The classes of 1958 and earlier dined in the Snyder House Conference Room, hosted by Headmaster George N. King, Jr. and Charliese King while the classes after 1958 enjoyed cocktails and dinner in the Alumni Tent which included a live band.  Classmates had a blast catching up with each other reminiscing about their days at the school.
