Seton ’53 Challenge
In light of the fact that the Seton '53 class is not having a 55th reunion this year, Pat Sipes Shiflett S'53 is challenging her classmates to make a "non-reunion" donation to Seton Keough. Pat has kicked off the challenge with a $53 donation and invites others to donate the same or any other amount they can afford. Donations may be made by check payable to Seton Keough High School (indicate “Seton 1953” in the memo) and mailed to: Seton Keough High School, Attn: Office of Advancement, 1201 Caton Ave., Baltimore, MD 21227. Donations may also be made online at www.setonkeough.com. If donations from the class total $1000 or more, the class will receive a leaf on the school's Giving Tree located in the main lobby.

Please contact Sharon Knisely (Keough) at sharonknisely@comcast.net or Barbara Wohlschlegel (Seton) at wohlbabs@hotmail.com to play.

Seton Keough Alumnae License Plates: Introductory Deadline Extended
Show the pride you feel being a graduate of Seton Keough High School with a Seton Keough Alumnae license plate! The Maryland-only license plate will feature a green Seton Keough logo and 4 numbers, with the words "Seton Keough Alumnae" along the bottom. Click here to see Mt. St. Joe's alumni plate as an example. In order for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to design and offer these plates for sale, we must have a minimum of 25 people sign up and pay a $25 fee (our cost) for the plates.

What’s New With You…?
The following alumnae have told us their “story” since the June issue of Alumlines was published. If you have not sent in an update, we’d love to hear from you. Email your “story” to tstone@setonkeough.com.
Sharon Reif Bastianelli S'78
I am currently working at St. Joseph Medical Center in the medical records department of the cancer institute as a certified coding associate. I have been married for 4 years and have one step-daughter.
Mary Jo Neville K’75
This summer I attended the Democratic National Convention as a “super” delegate. Having been a member of the Democratic National Committee for 17 years, this was my 5th convention as an automatic delegate and 7th convention overall. In 2000 I was honored to be part of the electoral college in Maryland, one of our state’s 10 electors. I’ve been politically active for many years and am glad to share that enthusiasm with my husband, Bill Brown. I finally met the right one and we were married in 2000. We live in Howard County. Bill teaches music in Montgomery County and I have worked for the Maryland State Teachers Association for 18 years.
Tonya Martin K'85
I’m still living in Vancouver, BC, and am the Editorial Director of a new media/independent trade book publishing house. I'm in charge of both the adult and children's list. I got married for the first time this past June, and Mark and I are now expecting a baby!
Tania Swift Schenk K’86
I am currently working with the Holistic Massage Training Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. You may benefit from attendance at this facility to explore the fantastic experiences that alternative medicine has to offer, both as a practitioner and a patient. You can find out more at holisticmassagetraining.org or by calling 410-243-4688.

After graduating from Boston University in May with a dual degree in Political Science and Sociology, I've since moved to San Diego, CA to begin my career as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy.
