Delbarton Parents of Graduates Association (DPGA)
The Delbarton Parents of Graduates (DPGA) was established in 1985 by Fr. Stephen Findlay in order to meet the expressed wish of many parents who wanted to stay in touch with each other, as well as with the school, after their son(s) had graduated. This years events included participation in Homecoming in October, Starting off the Christmas season with our annual Jazz concert featuring Dan Levinson, and our Palm Sunday Brunch, honoring Robert and Patricia Foley, parents of Brian ‘88.
Our final event for this year is our annual Wine Tasting & Dinner to be held on Saturday April 19th at 6:30 PM in Old Main. A variety of wines will be presented by Kevin Cahill ‘74 of Discover Wines in Somerville, NJ. Dinner will consist of butlered hors d‘ oeuvres, a buffet of antipasto and grilled vegetables, beef tenderloin, chicken francaise, pasta with vodka sundried tomato sauce, dessert & coffee. The cost is $65.00 per person. This is always a fun evening and a great way to reconnect with other parents of graduates.
A special note from Ron and Mary Ellen Nicola, Presidents elect:
