And the winners are … Nik Brodfuehrer (center) and Denise Moll Lanz, shown here with raffle chair Jerry Powers.
Our tenth annual Alumni Sunday is “in the books,” and we hope everyone who attended enjoyed the day. We know that Nik Brodfuehrer and Denise Moll Lanz, ’71, did! As winners of the split club raffle, they each received $750 in prize money. A matching amount of $1,500 will be donated to Blessed Trinity’s Under This Roof Fund, which supports preservation and restoration of the Landmark church. Many thanks to Jerry Powers, ’51, for organizing the raffle.
More than 25 people showed up early and were treated to a mini-tour of the church led by Blessed Trinity docents and BTS graduates, Mickey Stiffler Dick, ’59, and Tom Brodfuehrer, ’75.
