New Alumni Tiles

Joe McDorman '91 is shown here advising Paulo Castrejon of CEThomas Co. on placing the next group of legacy tiles. 

Paulo is shown above making his measurements. 

 Above is some of today's finished work.

From time to time we get a request from those who live far, far away and want see their tile....we have taken an individual picture and send it to them. 

We have taken pictures of the wall in 11 sections. If you want to see your tile, go to Serra's exciting new web page and find the Photo Album under Alumni or click on this link.

Another Helping Idea

The other helping idea is from Ed Milewski '61 on the upper left.

This from Bryan Genez '64.  Bryan wanted to know if Serra could accept a gift of appreciated stock. Yes, we can. Bryan is making a gift to the Alumni Scholarship and will be investing in the education of four students.  Thanks Bryan.
