Voices in the Vineyard 45 Alumni Soccer

On Saturday, March 26th, Archbishop Mitty High School welcomed current and alumni parents to its inaugural Voices in the Vineyards fundraising event at Thomas Fogarty Winery in Woodside. The winery, surrounded by vineyards that seem to stretch for miles, offered awe-inspiring views of the bay. It was the perfect backdrop for a beautiful afternoon filled with music from singer/songwriter Ren Geisik, poetry written by AMHS seniors Elon Butler and Benjamin Mui, and delicious food, wine, and community.

Michelle Messler, Mabelle Panlilio, Elizabeth Kone, Katia Reyes, Amy Hasenkamp,

Myrna Wheeler, and Annette Garcia, who are all mothers of Monarchs in the Class of 2022, enjoyed the spectacular valley and vineyard views. Vipool and Kavita Prajapati, Smital Neglur, and Sanjay Hoskeri celebrated being together while taking part in wine tasting at the winery.

President Latanya (Johnson ’92) Hilton welcomed guests to the school’s first in-person fundraising event since November of 2019. Guests played a spirited game of heads or tails to win jewelry donated by Joe Escobar Diamonds.

The combination of beautiful weather and views from the deck at Thomas Fogarty Winery created an ideal setting for event guests to socialize and bid on auction items.

Guests enjoyed a three-course gourmet meal paired with Thomas Fogarty wines. Benjamin Mui ’22 moved the audience with a powerful poem inspired by his senior Kairos retreat.
