The 3.2 mile hike begins at 9 a.m. and while there are restrooms, there is no running water. Also, dogs are permitted, but note that the path is rocky.

Book Club – Wednesday, Sept. 22, 6:30 p.m. (Sauce Pizza & Wine at 25 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix)
Join us next week as we discuss “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It was an unforgettable novel about one classic film actress's relentless rise to the top and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine. It is bound to stir up conversation!
For those who like to read ahead, our October book is “Hour of the Witch” by Chris Bohjalian.

Brophy Fall Blood Drive – Wednesday, Oct. 6, Specific Appointment Times, Robson Gym
Let’s roll up our sleeves and save some lives! Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood and each pint of donated blood we collect can help save up to three lives. This constant need for blood can only be met by generous donors like you.
Parents and students (16 years and older) are encouraged to make an appointment to aid in social distancing. You can visit this link to register and enter "bcp" as the code. Any student who is 16 or 17 must have a signed permit. 18-year-old students and adults do not need a permit.

Mothers’ Guild General Meeting – Thursday, Oct. 14, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., Harper Great Hall
Fortitude has been defined as “mental power of endurance; patient courage under affliction, firmness in confronting danger, hardship or suffering.” Does that sound like how you and your family handle a stressful Tuesday evening? Me either. Join us in October for our general meeting where Jim Welty, Brophy alumni and current teacher, will share his thoughts on fortitude in 2021.
Senior Moms Get Together – Thursday, Oct. 14, 7-9 p.m., The Dolasinski Home
Save the date for our first senior mom get-together. We will gather at the Dolasinski home for drinks, light snacks and fellowship. An Evite will land in your inbox soon, make sure to RSVP as soon as possible!
 
The first senior treat day will take place on campus on Friday, Oct. 29. All our senior moms are welcome to come hand out treats during the morning break from 9:50-10:10 a.m. Hope to see everyone at the social!
