Casady Club Features Key Speakers and Topics Relevant to our Community
The Casady Community envelopes a wide range of constituents including current parents, students, faculty/staff, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, emeriti, trustees, friends of the School, and more. As a member of the Casady Community, there are many events and activities for you to join. The Casady Alumni Association hosts the Casady Club Luncheon series, one event that is open to the members in our community.
The Casady Club Luncheon Series was conceived by David McCubbin '76 and Dr. Robert Woolsey, former headmaster, in December 2002. Dr. Woolsey proposed a program similar to the Harvard Club or Yale Club where alums get together every month for lunch, sometimes with a speaker, sometimes not.
Back
The first Casady Club luncheon was in April 2003 at the Coach House Restaurant with 20 people in attendance. David led the luncheon series, which included four annual gatherings for lunch throughout the year with a featured speaker who was usually an alum. David retired from his role on the Casady Alumni Board, and in 2010, the Casady Alumni Association took over the planning and organizing. As Casady Club has evolved since that time, the location has moved to campus and is open to anyone in the Casady Community at no charge. Only a reservation is requested so that the Alumni Association may plan for seating and lunch.
As Casady Club continues to develop as a community-wide event, the Casady Club committee will select speakers including, alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of the School, who will focus on topics relevant to current events as well as the School. All luncheons begin at noon and will be held in the Activity Center between the Loeffler Primary Division and Powell Lower Division Buildings. To make your reservation for either of the events listed below, please contact Lisa Meehan '87, Director of Alumni Relations, at meehanl@casady.org or 749-3162.
