Quidnunc
Alumnae Association
News Sally J. Lemaire '68, who has served as executive
director of the Alumnae Association of Mount Holyoke College for
more than eleven years, has announced that she will resign July
1, 2003 due to poor health. In a letter sent to the MHC community
August 21, Karen M. Hendricks '76, wrote, “Sally's
devotion to Mount Holyoke and its alumnae is legendary among all
who have known her and worked with her since her days as a student,
as an active alumna, and as the Alumnae Association's executive
director. Sally's many Mount Holyoke friends will miss her
terrific knowledge, expertise, and dedication.” A committee
has been formed to begin the search for a new executive director.
