3rdsession features Development’s Augie Freda on guitar and ACE Program Associate John Wibbens on bass (guitar, not the fish).

Come on out!  If you’ve not seen us for a while, we’ve added a lot of new songs.  Our regular female vocalist, Jessie, is out on maternity leave (It’s a GIRL!!), but Donna Williams (from Single Malt Suzy) has been our guest vocalist and she’s great!

Don’t forget to call The Midway Tavern and Dancehall anytime after 5 PM (255-0458) to reserve a table!  Always a good idea!  The Midway has a rich and colorful history dating back to prohibition days!

The Dance Hall will be designated Non-Smoking for the evening.  Only a $5 cover (to pay for the Band’s music lessons).

Hope to see you there!

Donate camp supplies and help transform a child’s life! Beginning next Monday, July 16, the University Relations Community Service Committee is sponsoring an in-kind donation drive for Camp Mariposa Indiana, so get those pillow cases, sleeping bags, flash lights, and other must-have camp supplies ready. New items only, please.

Camp Mariposa is a Moyer Foundation initiative and first-of-its-kind program for kids, ages 9-12, affected by an addicted or co-dependent family member. It is a free, traditional, multi-day camp that provides counseling, problem-solving techniques and self-care strategies in a fun environment for children in need. Locally, Camp Mariposa has teamed up with Oaklawn Psychiatric Center to run an overnight camp 5 times a year for kids in our community who face these challenges. Visit www.moyerfoundation.org for more information on the camp and on how ND ’87 alumna Karen Phelps Moyer is making a difference in children’s lives through her foundation.

From July 16—July 23, you will find in-kind donation boxes throughout the UR offices, as well as at the UR Carnival on July 21. Please consider making a donation and a difference for these kids in our community, 95% of whom live at or the below the poverty line. A full list of items needed will be posted on donation boxes and sent via email later this week.

Thank you, as always, for your support and for embodying the spirit of Our Lady’s University. For questions, please contact Beth Ferlic at eferlic@nd.edu.

I write to share a new University-wide initiative for public recognition on campus. In an effort to ensure consistency and equity for benefactors, the Office of Stewardship Programs will be responsible for all public recognition (walls, plaques, signage, etc.) moving forward. Stewardship will work closely with the University Architect’s Office and building managers to meet all existing and future recognition needs.

For official dedications of buildings and programs, I will work closely with the Office of Special Events to facilitate best-in-class events, taking responsibility for both the public recognition and tokens of appreciation from the University. For smaller events, the point of contact should work closely with me to ensure the proper plaque/signage is obtained.

To learn more about the new policy and procedures for public recognition, please see the document attached to your email on this topic. We look forward to partnering with you on recognition in the future.

In Notre Dame,

Katherine Lane, Director of Stewardship Programs
