Attention parents/guardians of the Class of 2026! We don't want the fun to end! Let's reunite this fall over wine and appetizers and put together care packages for our college freshmen. It will be great to reconnect and exchange stories - and the kids will love receiving their boxes of goodies from home!

We will share an evening with wine and heavy appetizers. We ask that each of you bring items to be included in the care packages. A list of ideas will be circulated closer to the date of the party. We will provide mailing boxes and take care of all the shipping costs within the US. Any international packages will need to be mailed by the student's parent.

All you have to do is show up, bring your care package contribution, catch up, and pack a box. Don't forget to bring your student's address at school!
