DeLaSalle will be preparing to celebrate its 40th Anniversary in June 2011.
Like our 25th Anniversary in 1996 (see celebratory cover of the 25th Anniversary issue of our Annual Report at left), DeLaSalle will be marking another historic milestone in the life of an extraordinary organization. Forty years is a long time for an organization to operate a cutting-edge and continuously innovative program.
The 1996 Annual Report featured DeLaSalle graduate Raneissa Wedlow, who continues to excel in her life to this day. She has maintained steady employment while going to school and raising a family.
Interestingly, Raneissa went to Africa in 1995 as part of a student exchange program pioneered by DeLaSalle, and she even succeeded in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!
Sadly, our 25th Anniversary was marked by the passing that year of our Founder, Godfrey Kobets, who died of a heart attack on July 20, 1996.
We look forward to celebrating with you the continuous development of our important services to the youth of our community!
