2nd Annual Western NY Alumni Reception

Ten brave alums and their guests travelled to the Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, NY on Wednesday, January 28 through blinding snow, sleet, and gale-force winds to gather for the 2nd Annual Western NY Alumni Event. These hardy souls enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and spirited conversation with fellow “brothers” from almost 2 decades of CBA classes.

Those in attendance were able to catch up with old friends and make new contacts with alums from other classes. A slide show was available, highlighting school and alumni events from the past year, and Brother Thomas Zoppo, Principal, was on hand to reminisce with former students and to update them on To Be the Best Comprehensive Campaign. Our sincere appreciation to Jay Murphy ’90 for sponsoring the group again this year at the lovely Locust Hill.

The following alums were able to join us for this memorable event:

Jay Bachstein ’82
Bill Boyle ’74
Pete Dombroski ’88
Anthony Fiumara ’88
Paul Hanrahan ’84 (and his wife, Katy)
Joe Karpinski ’76
Michael Mercier ’75
Jay Murphy ’90 (and his wife, Paula and baby Kate)
Jason Taranto ’89
Marc Taranto ’87

These regional alumni events are growing in number and popularity as they offer a wonderful opportunity to rekindle old CBA ties and to network with fellow alums who have relocated from Central New York. Check the alumni calendar on our website: www.cbasyracuse.org for more information about upcoming receptions in DC, Boston, and NYC.
