Seven Waldorf/Steiner Schools from the Northeast Collaborated for a first ever "Young Alumni Night." They met at the Gin Mill, a 1920's style speakeasy bar on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The event was an opportunity for Waldorf/Steiner alums to reconnect with familiar faces and network with alumni from other schools. The Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School, Green Meadow Waldorf School, Hawthorne Valley School, Kimberton Waldorf School, Rudolf Steiner School of NYC, Waldorf School of Garden City, and Waldorf School of Princeton combined resources and finances to provide a private party room and food for the night's festivities. Including graduates, administrators, and guests, the event drew close to 80 people. Kirin Buckley, AWSNA's web editor, attended as a graduate of Hawthorne Valley School and reported that she had a great time. We're hoping that on the heels of this wonderful event, more mixed-Waldorf school alumni reunions can be organized across the country. Contact her at webeditor@awsna.org if you'd like to take part or if you have ideas or suggestions, especially as we prepare to launch AWSNA's official Alumni web site on WhyWaldorfWorks.
