Created just last year, the Development Committee hosted our first ever (and fabulously successful) Benefit Soiree, a book talk with best-selling author Ron Chernow, and a spa-sporting event.  Our goals for 2011 are to promote the YAAMNY brand, to be a forum for multi-generational and multi-class interaction, and to raise funds.  Another Benefit Soiree is in the works, as are monthly dinners filled with lively conversations among alumni.
