Sons Reunite in the Sunshine State 

It certainly felt like Florida in New York this week, but Xavier President Jack Raslowsky, Director of Development Mark Mongelluzzo, and former Vice President for Advancement Joe Gorski headed south for the real experience at this year’s alumni receptions in the Sunshine State.

They met with Sons of Xavier across Florida, beginning with a luncheon in Naples on March 8. The week’s events conclude tonight in Miami. “We have had a wonderful week with a host of loyal Sons and their spouses on both coasts of Florida,” Mongelluzzo said. “The love for and commitment to Xavier is palpable and inspiring. Mr. Raslowsky and I, along with Joe and Betsy Gorski, have greatly enjoyed our time reconnecting with so many of our alumni and friends in the Sunshine State.”

Many thanks to the generous alumni who served as hosts—Lisa and Bob Forino ’57 in Naples; Maureen and Charlie Walsh ’49 in Jupiter; Carol and Dr. Bob Baratta ’58 in Jensen Beach; and Paul Scariano ’90 and Frankie Gonzalez ’90 in Miami.
