Margaret Moose Swallow '75New Twists on Old Traditions
This year, the Colonnade Society is taking a fresh look at three of its most popular traditions. Our Annual Homecoming Brunch is now the Annual First-Home-Game Reception, to be held on September 2. A newly designed, limited edition lapel pin modeled on the time-honored Colonnade medallion will be presented to members as they renew their commitment to the university between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007. And—for those who enjoyed uncovering the “magic” of Maryland wines or the romance of opera during our Colonnade Society event series—just wait until you see the discoveries we have planned over the next 12 months!
