The 17th annual Brother Martin President’s Dinner returned to Commander’s Palace. The evening began with cocktails, hors-d’oeuvres, and music in the courtyard.
Once in the Patio Room, committee member Erin Caruso opened with a prayer, and Joe Caruso ’79 welcomed everyone and thanked the committee. Brother Martin President Greg Rando ’77 thanked the Gootee Family for their support of the event and gave a brief school update. Guests then enjoyed a delicious five-course meal. To close the night, Kraig de Lanzac ’86 led a spirited rendition of the Brother Martin Fight Song.
Proceeds from the President’s Dinner fund scholarships. So far, two scholarships have been endowed, and President’s Dinner Scholarship III is on pace to be endowed next year.
President’s Dinner Committee members are: Chair Couple Jodi and P. Lindsey Williams ’83, Erin and Joe Caruso ’79, Rhen and Kraig de Lanzac ’86, Christine and Milton Dureau, Jr. ’69 CJ, Ashley and Ben Gootee ’01, and Karen and Chuck Stall ’76.
