1794 Society and Leadership Volunteer Champagne Toast amid Reunion Weekend 2022

President Clayton Rose and Julianne Rose hosted a reception for Bowdoin’s annual giving leadership donors and alumni volunteer leadership on the Saturday of Reunion Weekend.

This event was to recognize and celebrate members of the community who make an impact as a 1794 Society member, leadership volunteer, or both.

More than 375 guests, comprising members of the Class of 2017 on through the years and including those now in the Old Guard, enjoyed connecting with one another and raising a glass of Schramsberg Vineyards sparkling wine, donated by Hugh Davies ’87.

A toast of appreciation was made by 1794 Membership Committee cochair Claire Newton ’02 and President Clayton Rose.
