Virtual Reunions Classes of 1961, 1981 & 1995

Virtual Reunions

Several virtual Reunions were held, based on survey choices. We look forward to rescheduling in-person Reunions as soon as possible!

June 6, 2020 Class of 1995

Sixty-four members of the Class of 1995 gathered to celebrate their 25th Reunion. Their’s was the first Zoom reunion held by Ursuline and welcomed classmates from as far as CA, WA, UT, TX, FL, GA, NC and Ireland!

The evening was kicked off by Class President Vickie Volino Moore, followed by a beautiful prayer, written and read by Paula Pereira. Eileen Davidson spoke and classmate Laura Herrera raised her glass to toast, “To who we were then, to who Ursuline helped make us, and most importantly, to the lifelong friendships Ursuline gave us.” A slideshow followed, to the music of 1995’s Ring Day song ‘These Are the Days’ by 10,000 Maniacs.

The reunion Zoom lasted four hours, with classmates still joining long after the program ended. The gathering was perfect timing for this class who were struggling with the effects of the pandemic. They offered each other the much needed opportunity to voice their challenges, with people they trusted. There was lots of love and virtual hugs! June 24, 2021 Class of 1961

A Diamond Reunion Celebration is momentous, and Dr. Maxine Moore and Tina Sloan wanted to make sure nothing deterred their Class of 1961 from coming together to celebrate. The two hour Zoom included a prayer, prepared by Dr. Maxine Moore, a warm welcome by our President Eileen Davidson, a sentimental Walk Down Memory Lane with a slide show from their years at Ursuline, followed by Tina Sloan leading a conversation on “Remember When”. It was capped off by alumnae sharing about their lives since Ursuline. Their Virtual Reunion included much laughter and a few tears for days gone by. As everyone shared their stories, they realized how much they all still shared in common as a result of their Ursuline roots, though their lives took very different paths. They wrapped up with a warm toast, some looking forward to reconnecting (San Francisco alumnae), others promising to stay connected and make the next reunion.
