Recent Alumni Connection Events
Boston: Thanks to David Wright ’69, members of the Boston Connection were treated to a factory tour of Taza Chocolate in Somerville, Mass. True to Wonka style, the direct-trade, bean-to-bar factory allows tours only two days a year.
Houston: More than two dozen members of the Houston Connection brought their own wine and cheese to the home of Alida ’92 and Patrick ’89 Zweidler-McKay.
Thanks to the hosts and to Connection Co-Chairs Susan Tapscott ’72 and Lester Tran ’04 for organizing the event.
Seattle: Not to be outdone by Boston, Jay Schembs ’01 of the Seattle Connection organized a tour of Theo Chocolate, the only organic, fair-trade, bean-to-bar chocolate factory in the United States. Yes, the group received free samples!
