On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, alumni and friends of St. John's
University gathered for a Meet and Greet reception and Gamewatch at
Redd's Restaurant in Carlstadt, NJ. The event was co-hosted by the
Office of Institutional Advancement and the Northern New Jersey
Alumni Chapter.

Guests enjoyed a buffet of finger foods and cocktails while
watching the Red Storm men's basketball team take on the Orange of
Syracuse University on television.
"More and more alumni are settling in New Jersey," noted
Nicholas A. Legakis '97SVC, '07MPS, Director, Institutional
Advancement, Staten Island campus, "and St. John's wants to make
sure that we come to them if they can't make it out to us in Queens
and Staten Island. Our alumni chapters have been very involved in
hosting events and everyone who attends has a great time meeting up
with other alumni from their area."
This was the first event hosted by the Northern New Jersey Alumni
Chapter in recent years, and everyone is hoping that this Meet and
Greet will be followed by additional gatherings in the months
ahead.
"It is always great getting together with my fellow alumni," said
Rosanna Mangone '89SVC, "and I'm already looking forward to the
next Northern New Jersey gathering."
"To meet with fellow St. John's alumni and rehash our past
college experiences was well worth the gathering itself," agreed
Andre Emont, R.Ph.'79P, '84GP, Chapter Leader. "There's nothing
like good food, friends, laughs and tons of fun after a tough day
of work. We should have at least 100 people for each one of these
events!"
