Principal attends alumni events in California to promote the HALLmarks campaign

From 5-10 September, the Principal and colleagues from the Development Office had the pleasure of meeting alumni and guests in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Laguna Beach. The visit provided the opportunity for Teddy Hall alumni to reconnect with one another at events, hear the latest news from the Hall and to learn about progress with the HALLmarks campaign and particularly the Norham St Edmund development.

Alumnae Christine Kelleher (1987, Agricultural Economics) Catherine Ysrael Gomez (1986, English) and friend of the Hall, Kylie Schuyler, kindly hosted cocktails, and dinner at Emerald Bay for Aularians and guests to raise awareness and funds for Norham St Edmund and alumnus Ethan Lipsig, (1967, Philosophy) generously hosted a drinks and canapes event at his beautiful home and gardens in Pasadena on the following day. Both occasions were great events, and we hope that alumni on the west coast will continue to keep in touch with one another and the Hall over the year ahead!

We look forward to planning our next trip to the US, the next time on the east coast from 6-9 December for the annual New York dinner and we look forward to meeting Aularians from around the world next year. If anyone is considering arranging an event to bring Aularians together in the future near to you, and interested in helping to highlight and support the HALLmarks campaign, please do not hesitate to get in touch with andrew.vivian@seh.ox.ac.uk.
