Dear Westminster Family:

You are invited to participate in one of Westminster’s great traditions, Family Day, a day when we welcome the parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members of our students to campus for a day of activities and fellowship. As a first-year president, it will be exciting to be a part of this longstanding Westminster event.

My husband, Randy, and I are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to meet the families and to enjoy the special activities that have been planned for adults and for children. In particular, I hope all parents will join us for the Coffee with the President meeting on Saturday morning where I’ll be able to share briefly about the year at Westminster and to answer any questions you may have.

We have been so impressed with the level of support and engagement our students and alumni have in the Westminster community. Whether it will be your first, fourth or tenth Family Day, please do plan to join us and to share in this great day. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, November 5.

Warm regards,
Dr. Kathy Brittain Richardson
