The weather did not deter 100+ alumni from attending O’Dowd’s 4th annual Alumni Beer Garden on Friday, October 28. Alums spanning seven decades enjoyed good beer, food and even better company! Then the alumni made their way to the football game to cheer on the varsity team against Berkeley High. The 2001 varsity women’s volleyball team was honored during halftime, recognized for the 15th anniversary of the team’s 1st place HAAL finish. The night ended perfectly when the Dragons beat the Jackets by a landslide, 49-12.
The next night, classes from 1956, 1961 and 1981 were welcomed back to campus for their reunions. The sun shined as another 100+ alumni received campus tours by O’Dowd president Steve Phelps, reminisced over cocktails and dinner, and then danced the night away. We also want to congratulate 1986 who held their 30th reunion off campus the same evening. Congratulations to all the reunion years and we look forward to seeing your classes in five years.
