The St. Rose’s Alumni Association welcomed a new Executive Board at its Annual General Meeting on Saturday, October 17, 2020. This fiscal year, because of the COVID pandemic, the meeting was rescheduled from April. Alumni in attendance at the Zoom meeting were updated on the financial standing of the association by the Treasurer, Compton Grose and committee reports were shared.   The moderator of the afternoon’s event was Ingrid Thomas-Clark. Kenrick Thomas, Chair of the Board of Governors informed alumni of the present status of the reconstruction of the St. Rose’s building.
