Harvest Under the Stars Leadership

A note from our Chairs:

Hi, I'm Keri Rankin, and I'm thrilled to be serving as this year's Parent Chair for Harvest Under the Stars! My husband, Ben, and I are the proud parents of Kellum '28. Harvest has always been one of my favorite Indian Springs traditions because it brings together every part of our community—parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends—for a truly memorable evening. As our kids get older, there are fewer opportunities for the adults to connect, catch up, and make new friends. Harvest gives us the perfect excuse to gather under the stars, enjoy great food and conversation, bid on amazing silent auction items, and celebrate everything that makes Indian Springs such a special place.

Hello, I'm Kate Pope '02 and it's an honor to serve as this year's Alumni Chair for Harvest Under the Stars. I'm excited to now reside in the Birmingham area with my husband, Will, and daughter Charley. Having spent my formative years both living in and attending Indian Springs, it's great to be "back home." I greatly value the relationships I made as a student and now that I have moved back, I'm excited to be able to re-engage and build new relationships with this wonderful Springs community at Harvest Under the Stars. 

We hope you'll join us on October 3 for a fun, relaxed evening supporting the school we all love. We can't wait to see you there!

Best,
Keri and Kate
