    Roberta Lambert was described as the "Founding Mother" of St. E CYO. She helped manage the school cafeteria and supported the organization in many ways such as hosting gatherings, donating space, and chaperoning trips. Without her leadership and efforts, St. E CYO would not have been as successful. She chaperoned a large group from the parish to the 1967 CYO National Convention in Miami Beach and helped keep the group in line during the trip.

    Miami Beach 1967 CYO Convention Tales … Jim Reinhardt


    Roberta and I chaperoned over 25 CYO kids, to the Miami Beach
    CYO convention - the largest single-parish delegation there. That
    was the largest national CYO convention of that era - over 8,000. It
    also had the least well-attended sessions: nearly everyone was at
    the beach!
    One night, Roberta and I escaped to the Boom Boom Room, one of
    the Fontainebleau Hotel’s legendary drinking establishments. St. E
    CYO’ers were a-twitter over this but neither of us drank. We only
    had Cokes.
    Roberta and I did a little sight-seeing while there. We visited
    Vizcaya, a famous estate built by John Deere of tractor fame. One
    of my favorite photos is of Roberta leaning against a tall palm tree
    there. I'm not sure if the tree is holding her up or vice versa.
    Upon returning, Roberta learned that some of the girls had taken
    the hotel room-service coffee items left outside rooms on their
    floor, stuffing their suitcases with them. She was so incensed that
    she made the girls send the items back with apology letters.
