Trish Dalzell Birch '98.

I had the pleasure of speaking with a local business owner, as well as a social worker, both of whom share deep AHN ties.

First, Hydrangea Farms is an alumna and family-run business owned by Angela Teller Carkner '01 and her husband Brandon, a pair with decades of experience in hospitality. The 20-acre event space in Westerlo specializes in weddings, and can accommodate other events up to 200 guests.

My classmate, Trish Dalzell Birch '98 and I discuss what it might feel like to bring the family together when things are not at their best: sickness, loss, grief, and change and ways we might want to best connect with ourselves and family this holiday season.

Lighting of the Bell Tower

Attendees of Thursday night's Christmas Concert were invited to stay for the traditional Lighting of the Bell Tower.

Each sponsored light on the tower shines brightly in honor and/or in memory of a special family member or friend, whose names were read aloud and will be featured on our website throughout the season.
