Head of the Class

For the 23rd year, the Phoenix Alumnae Chapter presented a scholarship to a graduating senior of the Phoenix Day School for the Deaf. This year, the award was renamed the Phoenix Delta Zeta Alumnae/Claudia J. Hosking Scholarship, honoring our chapter's long-time Philanthropy chair, who passed away on May 17th as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in April. Class valedictorian Michael Lewis is the 2009 recipient. He has been accepted at Arizona State University. The ceremony took place on May 20th, with Pat Wells, Mary Chandler, Lorna Green, Mary Peterson, Ann Santos, and Carol Birch (and son) representing the alums. Claudia's daughters Allison and Wendy and grandsons also attended.
