We are keen to build upon the success ofthe alumni events we held in America and the FarEast in autumn 2008 and are planning both toreturn to these destinations and – where possible –to arrange events in new locations. In Britain,while Oxford will provide a central base forCatz|fivezero events such as anniversary dinners,we would also like to hold smaller gatherings acrossthe country.This is an exciting time for St Catherine’s. I lookforward to keeping you updated with the progress ofour campaign, and also to welcoming you to one ofthe many events that we are currently organising.If you would like more information about supportingthe Catz|fivezero Campaign, or about forthcomingCollege events (details of which, once finalised, willbe published on the College’s website) please contacta member of the Development Office.18/CATZFIVEZERO
