2010 Dorcas Fair

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS of 2011 for raising $10,000 through their Dorcas Initiatives. "The entire junior class, especially the three heads Mary-Margaret Meehan, Katy Norfleet and Anne Donovan, worked hard and managed to have a good time," said Dorcas faculty advisor Ruth Amoh. "They were innovative and creative and were assertive as leaders. They also always took the initiative to sketch out plans before meeting with me," Ruth noted.
