After serving over twenty years on the Cape Cod Tufts Club Board of Directors, both Martha Vaccaro 81’P and Brian Burns E’63, E’88P retired from the Club Board. Each were recognized by the University Alumni Office and the Cape Cod Tufts Club Board. Martha and Brian were presented with Certificates of Appreciation and Gratitude for demonstrated service in support of the Cape Cod Tufts Club.
Martha Vaccaro
Martha Vaccaro, A’81P, began her association with the Cape Cod Tufts Club long before she joined the Board. Her husband, Ralph Vaccaro, A’41, would become a founding member of the Club in 1986 and Martha would later drive Ralph to Board Meetings, herself joining the Board over twenty years ago. An active participant at all Board Meetings, Martha was always willing to step forward, volunteering for any project the Club instituted. This wife of a Tufts graduate, mother of a Tufts graduate, and mother-in-law of a Tufts graduate, Martha has had a profound impact on the activities and success of the Cape Cod Tufts Club.
Brian Burns
Brian Burns, E’63, E’88P, has been a member of the Cape Cod Tufts Club for over twenty years during which Brian served as both Vice President and President of the Board. In addition, Brian has been Chairman of the Club Nominating Committee and the Cape Cod Tufts Club representative on the Tufts Alumni Council. As a member of the Class of 1963, Brian has been a member of the 1963 Class Reunion Committee. While President of the Club, Brian instituted the Century Club which raises funds each year for the Cape Cod Scholarship Fund. As a result of this program, the Club has been able to award each spring, at the Annual Meeting, twenty-five hundred-dollar scholarships to three Tufts students from the Cape, Islands, and South Coast.
