Alumni Score a Home Run
A recent summer evening found Delgado alumni, faculty, staff and friends enjoying a New Orleans Zephyrs baseball game. |
Delgado friends and family
shared the fun at the
Alumni Night at the Zephyrs.
|
Hosted by your Alumni Association, the Delgado Alumni and Friends Night at the Zephyrs was such a huge success that our group won the use of a suite behind home plate! It was a wonderful evening to watch the game, catch fly balls in the stands or just hang out with friends in the suite. Our thanks to all who attended. . |
