The group of 60, which included alumni from the areas surrounding Saratoga Springs and New York City spent the day “at the rail,” watching all the action up close and enjoying a brunch buffet in a private area exclusively for the St. John’s contingent.

Alumni who came for a fun afternoon at the races and a chance to see college friends were not disappointed. “I’m so glad St. John’s offers opportunities to get together with other alumni,” said Kathleen Evers '04CPS.
 
Sponsored by the Albany Alumni Chapter and Mid-Hudson Valley Alumni Chapter, the event was a tremendous success. Albany Alumni Chapter volunteer, John Neary '61CBA was pleased with the turnout and the entire experience. Evers agreed saying that the event “totally exceeded” her expectations.

Andrea Papa '88SVC, Associate Director, Student Engagement and Regional Programs in the Office of Alumni Relations who was on hand to greet attendees was happy to see so many alumni enjoying the day’s activities. “I’m looking forward to making this an annual tradition!”
