<p class="fontlook"><B>Friday, January 23, 2009</B> – Celebrate Imagination! Carrollton’s 47th Anniversary kicked off on Friday evening where current and past parents, trustees, alumnae, neighbors and friends joined together under the Barat Oak. Surrounded on all sides by El Jardin, the Trinita building, the Barry Building and Founders Library, the party was an extraordinary success. The evening was comprised of a silent and live auction, 20 local restaurants which showcased their signature dish, vineyards which showcased their top rated wines, a complimentary cigar lounge and live music for the guests to enjoy.  Jackie Nespral, NBC-6 television anchor and current parent, served as the mistress of ceremonies for the live auction which included a once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching a live open heart surgery, a 7-14 night Azamara European Cruise, 2 autograph framed Miami Heat posters by Dwayne Wade and Alonzo Mourning, an Oceanaire dinner for 12 and a 1 week rental of a Bentley convertible.  The silent auction, which was staged in the Founder’s Library, had close to 200 items ranging from week-long stays in faraway resorts and homes, European cruises and exquisite jewelry. It was a beautiful night at Carrollton.

<p class="fontlook"><B>Saturday, January 24, 2009</B> saw the return of over 200 alumnae to Carrollton for a reception in their honor. Granting the alumnae requests, El Jardin was the beautiful setting for former classmates to meet again and catch up with each other and their former teachers. The reunion classes of 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999 and 2004 were honored with banners and a live webcast in the newly restored El Jardin parlor. Many agree that there was a magnificent energy in El Jardin throughout the evening.

<p class="fontlook">On <B>Sunday, January 25, 2009</B> the reunion classes returned to El Jardin for the first ever Mother-Daughter Alumnae Breakfast.  Carrollton alumnae gathered in the restored Benoist Room in El Jardin and were joined by either their mothers, daughters or both.  In some cases, three generations of Sacred Heart alumnae were represented.
