Alumnae Dinner: A Night of Bantam Celebration!

There is no better way to kick off the 2009 Team Blog than to report on the festivities of the recent Alumnae Event in Boston! What a night it was!!! We kicked off the evening with some reminiscing of past games. I particularly enjoyed hearing the story of a certain Yale game where Lisa Parker's captured moment of subdued panic in a lopsided contest (I believe the phrase was "Relief was Brief") was enough to get any alum chuckling. The pictures that circulated through out the night were tremendous! Spitty's album from the late 70's shared a table with CJ's wonderful collage of photos from 2008 showing us exactly how much things have changed and how much things have stayed the same over the past 30+ years. The two highlights of the evening had to be the performances by Tina Poole Thomas and Lisa Parker. Tina showcased her vocals with a wonderful sing along, extolling Title IX and wishing that it had been "passed sooner." Lisa gave in to the numerous requests of teammates and ended the evening on a high note with her "fly" imitation. Quite impressive!

The night would not have been the same without the effort of all the 38 alums who made the trip (whether is was a flight or a short walk) to the Union Oyster House. We want to sincerely thank all those who attended:

It was a wonderful night for Trinity Lacrosse and we promise that we will look into doing similar events in other areas for those who were not able to make it. I think we have some great momentum going forward! Please stay up to date with the 2009 season as we kick it off in just over a month!
