A Tribute for Antoinette Blanck

A former UTN President and foreign language instructor for over thirty years, Antoinette Blanck was celebrated at a lovely affair at The View at Crabmeadow the evening of June 13. Over one hundred guests attended a very spirited celebration decorated a la Hawaii, and many RUTN members attended, including Maria D’Amore, Maria Scarpinito, Fran Killilea, Sharon Wolpert, Glenda & Jerry McNerney, Gloria Hall, Teddy Emanuel, Jeanette Conroy-Terri, Jane Flood, and Donna & Kevin McGinn. Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all!! We wish Antoinette much happiness in this new chapter, and hope she lends her talents to our R-UTN organization!

Congratulations 2023 R-UTN Scholarship Recipients

A stage filled with deserving seniors seated and excitedly awaiting their names to be called to receive one (or more!) scholarships – this was the setting for the NHS Senior Scholarship Ceremony which took place on the evening of June 7, 2023. Seventy-one scholarships were awarded, among them three RUTN ones, each in the amount of $2,000. The following students were applauded by a very proud audience in the HS auditorium:

• Ashly Lopez-Lopez will be seeking a degree in Education at SUNY Old Westbury.

• Dessa Kavrakis will be attending Harvard and majoring in both science and music.

• Sam Rosenfeld-McMahon will be off to American University to study Political Science.

We are so very proud of all these students, and wish them good luck and much success in all they do!
