Alumni nthera Q' Eine Barth The association of Alumni mothers at St. Laurence is called the Laurenta club. The club aids the school in many ways. There are about 125 mothers who give their time even though they have no true personal stake in St. Laurence at this time. They are one of the least recognized yet most important groups. The main way the club gets money is through the selling of taffy apples which they do two or three times a year. The funds go to help educate future Christian Brothers.
