Alumni Chapter Goes to the Races

August 14, 2008

The Colonial Downs Racetrack in New Kent, Virginia was the place to be for St. John’s alumni and friends in the Hampton Roads and Richmond areas on Saturday, August 2, 2008.

An intimate group of Chapter members enjoyed the races from a private suite with closed circuit televisions and a balcony overlooking the track.  Guests also watched a race named in honor of St. John’s University alumni with a Winner’s Circle presentation. 

Chapter members enjoyed an afternoon of food, sport and St. John’s pride as they mingled together.  “It was a friendly group and a great day!” stated Arthur Kavit ’48P.

This is the fourth year the Chapter has sponsored this event and it continues to elicit rave reviews.  Joe Farnitano ’76NDC said, “What another great event.  I look forward to this every year!”
