T. Blair '99 presents a gift to the evening's special guest, President Kenneth P. Ruscio '76.

The NY Fancy Dress held on February 27th was a success as the New York City Chapter had 137 attendees which was a sizable increase from the 105 who attended the previous year. Additionally, the alumni mix of ages was probably the most diverse the event has seen since the first Fancy Dress in addition to a number of Board of Trustees and Alumni Board members.

“It was a true honor for our chapter to host President Ruscio back on ‘his home turf,’ said T. Blair ’99. “The sub-committee of John Jensen, Sarah Craft, Kiersten Salander, Crystal Simpson and Kirk Adamson did a great job choosing a new venue that was perfect for the event and I expect us to use going forward.”

Congratulations to the New York City Chapter on a fantastic event.
