Hanna Center will always represent a crucial crossroad in my search for identity, purpose, and self worth.

Overview
Note from Father Crews:
Welcome, Alumni, we are very happy to have you stay involved with the Center and the boys. You can be sure that, as Alumni, your story will be a beacon of hope to boys currently struggling in the program. The Hanna Alumni Association has fostered mutual support among the Center’s former boys while providing a vehicle for their continued connection with the boys presently at the Center. Offering wonderful role models for the boys, Hanna’s Alumni volunteer numerous hours of their own time, holding garage sales, and securing donations for special activities for the boys including the Jim Healy Memorial Field Day and the Alumni Carnival.
Jenarro Toback, a 2005 graduate, is currently the Alumni Association’s President providing leadership and inspiration to the Alumni members.
Jenarro has been active in the Alumni Association since his graduation helping out with the Jim Healy Day in October and the Spring Carnival each May. He is dedicated to Hanna Center, the Alumni Association and to the boys. Two alumni members, Thom Chin and Tom Lohwasser, Ed.D., are Hanna Regents Emeritus members of Hanna’s Board of Directors. Several Alumni serve on our Long Range Planning Committee.
Alumni members volunteer as tour guides at our open houses, help with the barbecues at the Golf Classic, and speak at our graduation ceremony and employee training day. They also represent Hanna at several community events including the Sonoma Vintage Festival. The Alumni Association is financially independent.
