Alumni Class Notes for February 2020

JayCee Hoffman (’57) is planning a reunion/gala at the site of the old Briarcliff Manor campus. Read her original invitation here. She writes with an update below. Editor’s note: The King’s College official Homecoming will take place November 6-7.

Hi TKC Alumni,

TKC alumni have been invited to visit the new facility called The Club built on the old TKC campus in Briarcliff Manor.

I am wondering how many of you would be interested in attending a gala event at The Club. After talking to many of you, November seems to be the favorite month. I will communicate with those of you who have indicated an interest at a later date.

If you have not responded to date and are interested in attending, please contact JayCee Hoffman cell phone 914-589-2018 or drop me a note at 63 Lexington Drive, Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520 by April 5, 2020.
