The Freshman Friends program is well underway. Each of the 16 graduates from the Esperanza Academy Class of 2009 has been paired with a member of Great Women to Know. The Friends initially met at a dinner party just before graduation last June. GWTK sponsored a Book Swap during the summer for the Friends and their family members. Friends have gotten together to go shopping, to the beach, out to dinner and to the movies.
