About
Whether you’re settling into a new chapter in the LA area or it’s been home for years, we’d love to see you at this year’s LA Area Alum Reception.
This event is generously hosted by Chandy Gooding ’88 McNicholas and her husband, Matthew, at their Brentwood home.
Joining us will be our new leadership in the Lakeside Advancement Office, Director of Advancement Wellesley Wilson and Director of Philanthropy Christine Lessard, as well as Head of School Kai Bynum. The Lakeside team will share the latest from campus: how our students are finding joy in learning, building resilience, and using their voices to shape the world with care.
Expect heavy appetizers, refreshing beverages, and a vibe that’s warm, welcoming, and full of connection. This adults-only event is a chance to step out of your routine, bring a guest, and tap into the energy and magic of the Lakeside community. We hope you’ll join us!
