The Guild was able to raise $3,195 effortlessly, said Mary Poppingo, SMC Liaison and Assistant Vice President for Alumni & Community Engagement.
The Guild is now focused on its May Raffle, which will feature a delicious dinner for four along with two bottles of wine from Towne Bakery & Café (valued at $150). Tickets and donations are due by May 10 and the drawing is scheduled for May 12.
This year more than ever the community's help is needed to attract and retain qualified students at Saint Mary's College, said Poppingo. Ticket cost: 1 ticket for $25 or 2 for $40. Send checks (made out to SMC GUILD) to 1928 St. Mary's Road, PMB 3002, Moraga, CA 94575. For more information, call Karen Cain at (925) 323-9912. |
