Holy Family School launches new website to connect with alumni across the world

PHOENIXVILLE, Pa. – Holy Family School , a Catholic regional elementary school in Phoenixville , Pa. , announces the launch of a new alumni and friends website, www.hfsalumni.org.

The official launch is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. at Holy Family School , Third and Buttonwood Streets, Phoenixville. The school's future alumni, the eighth grade graduating class of 2009, will register as a group to kick-off the opening of the site to the public.

"With the launch of the Holy Family Alumni & Friends website, we hope to offer a virtual community where our alumni, alumni parents, and supporters can come together," says Kelly Dychdala, director of alumni and development. "Holy Family School commits to support their students not only while in the classroom, but as they grow to become contributing members of our global world. We hope that through this site, we can also offer opportunities for alumni to mentor and contribute their gifts of time, talent, and treasure back to help sustain Holy Family School for generations to come."

With a growing base of graduates, Holy Family wanted to cultivate stronger bonds with and among alumni that would lay the foundation for the creation of an active alumni association. To this end, Holy Family deployed the services of Alumni Channel, a web provider of online alumni communities for schools and other non-profit organizations, for online community building. The school now has a single point of entry that allows alumni to self-maintain their profile information which can then be used for communication from the school.

"Schools face a real challenge in keeping connected with alumni who, after graduation, scatter throughout the world," said Chris Gehringer, president of Alumni Channel. "Holy Family is taking a leadership position in how it uses technology to give its alumni - regardless of whether they live in the area or the Far East - an easy way to stay involved."

Any person who attended the following Phoenixville area grade schools is eligible to register as an alumnus or friend at the site: St. Ann , St. Mary of the Assumption, Holy Trinity, or Sacred Heart. These schools merged in the late 1980s to form one school: Holy Family School.

To visit the Holy Family School alumni website, go to HFSalumni.org. Registration at the site is open to alumni and friends, as well as former and current teachers and parents.

Public meeting to discuss future of Melchiorre Park scheduled for Nov. 29th

On Thursday, November 29th, the Borough is holding a 'brainstorming session' in which plans for Melchiorre Park will be discussed with its park planning consultants. The event will be held at the High School and will begin 7pm. For those of you who do not know about Melchiorre Park (of which I am included, even though I apparently live across the street from it), it is a 23 acre park located south of High Street on the land between it and French Creek. It appears, based on the drawing on the Borough home page , to be the land that is next to Westridge Village and across the street from the new Northridge Village community. As part of the meeting, the consultants will 'provide a brief background of the project and present a pre-final master plan for the park'. Source: Phoenixville Borough Website

Local Baker Wins on Netflix Sugar Rush

Peri Anderson, owner of Brooklyn Girl Bakery , was part of a team that won the most recent episode of Sugar Rush on Netflix. I reached out to Peri to learn a little more about her bakery: I started out taking a recreational cake decorating class with my mom when I was still living in NY. I loved it and moved to PA to be with my boyfriend (now husband), where I began interning for a bakery in Chestnut Hill. Over the course of 7 years I worked my way up from intern to pastry chef until I decided to leave in 2012. I do all of my baking in our home kitchen which is licensed and insured by the Dept. of Agriculture. Initially, I wanted to focus on wedding cakes so I immediately started contacting wedding venues in the area to see if they would include me a wedding cake vendor in their packages. I currently work with over 10 venues and several caterers in the area. While wedding cakes are my main focus, I also make cakes and cookie favors for all occasions. While I don’t have a retail loca
