The Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA’s sixth annual Night of Stars will take place on Friday, June 12, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the YMCA Mountain Mist Outdoor Center in Meriden. The YMCA is pleased to honor Sister Georgeann Vumbaco as the 2026 Night of Stars honoree.
Sister Georgeann has devoted her life to teaching and community service. She served as principal of St. Joseph School from 1982 to 2002 and currently serves as a part-time pastoral associate at Our Lady Queen of Angels.
Her extensive community involvement includes serving on the boards of The Bradley Home and her alma mater, Mercy High School. She was also a member of the Children’s First Initiative and the School Readiness Council, chairperson of the Advisory Board on Aging for the City of Meriden, and chaplain for the Meriden Fire Department.
