Thank you to all who participated in our first monthly meeting last night.  If you couldn’t make it, you can catch up HERE

Key Takeaways:

• Our mission is to perpetuate the legacy of our Mercy experience by ushering it forward into the future by (1) welcoming and foster new young women into the “sisterhood” that an all-girls community creates (2) allowing those who have partaken in this transformative experience to give back and pay-it-forward to the next generation and (3) continuing to explore opportunity for a new home in the future
• We are excited to announce The Foundation, our fundraising arm of The Coalition.  Dedicated to supporting all-girls scholars & schools, we introduced our selected recipient, Mount Saint Ursula Academy in Bronx, NY, with an annual fundraising target of $50k.  Stay tuned for a kick-off event in late August.

• We are equally excited to introduce our mentoring program, The Sisterhood.  Launching as a pilot program, we are seeking 10-15 current OLMA Juniors or Sophomores, who will be paired with a participating alumnae based on interest, college & career aspirations.  Email Mercy.Girls.Dont.Quit@olmapc.org if you are interested.

• The Coalition is looking to expand its leadership team and seeking 4 individuals to serve as advisory leads for (1) Communications (2) Events (3) Fundraising/The Foundation and (4) Education/The Sisterhood.  Email Mercy.Girls.Dont.Quit@olmapc.org if you are interested.

• If you donated from our Town Hall outreach, we will be contacting you within the next two weeks to confirm transferring your donation towards The Foundation or refunding.

• If you are a student or parent and would like to be interviewed for an upcoming story about Tuesday’s last day of school, contact Lorena.Mongelli@newsday.com or (631) 662-3170 by June 6th.
