The City of South Bend informed Kite Realty Group that, on the Saturdays of Notre Dame Gamedays, Eddy Street will be closed from Napoleon to Angela 3 hours prior to kickoff and will remain closed until actual kickoff.  So, for example this Saturday, Eddy Street will be closed from noon until 3:30 pm (approximately).  Eddy Street will re-open as usual after kickoff.

Come See 3^rd SeSSion on the Irish Green!

Take some time Friday afternoon to be entertained by 3^rd SeSSion, performing on the Irish Green from 4 PM to 6 PM as part of the South Florida Football Weekend festivities.  The band features Development’s Augie Freda on lead guitar and ACE Program associate John Wibbens on bass.  The band performs music ranging in decades from the 1960s (Jefferson Airplane) to the 2010s (Lady Antebellum) and genres from classic rock (Journey and Chicago) to contemporary (Katy Perry, C-Lo Green) to crossover country (Carrie Underwood, Sugarland).

Come out, enjoy the atmosphere and get fired up for some Irish Football!

On behalf of Michael Sullivan and Kevin Cannon

It is with great pleasure that we announce Krys Montague as the newest addition to our Development Team!   Effective August 15, 2011 Krys will be supporting both Senior Regional Directors Kevin Cannon (West) and Mike Sullivan (Midwest).  Krys has been the administrative assistant for Fr. John Jenkins, and has now taken on the new role of supporting Kevin and Mike.  Krys has been with the Notre Dame family for 10 years and has a wealth of experience that will help our Senior Regional Directors.  She lives in South Bend, has two beautiful grandchildren, Katie and Chance, and is an active volunteer for many organizations including Relay for Life.    Krys is a huge football fan and many of you may have already seen her on the sidelines cheering on the football players!    Krys is another excellent addition to our outstanding team.  Please take a moment to stop by and welcome Krys to the Development Office!

Stephen Smith and I wish Mary Andersen tremendous success in her new role as Assistant Director Reunion Giving working with Craig Horvath in the Annual Fund.  We have had the pleasure of working with Mary for two years and know that she will be a valuable addition to Craig’s team.  We are truly excited for Mary as she takes her outstanding skills, energy and personality to her new role.

We are equally excited to welcome Noell Stohler as our new Administrative Assistant.  Noell and her husband, Bill, live in Edwardsburg, MI.  They are the proud parents of Mason (12) and Haven (11).  Noell, a graduate of Indiana University, played an integral role in establishing and successfully growing Pier Perfection, a marine products / services company that she and Bill founded in 1997.  Noell brings the wide variety of skills any successful small business owner must master to helping service Notre Dame’s benefactors in the west.

Noell is an avid runner and triathlete.  She will, undoubtedly, draw upon the endurance gained through participation in these sports as she works through her first football season at Notre Dame.

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Noell!
