Condolences to Katherine Gardner

We are extremely disheartened to learn about the passing of Katherine Gardner’s (Flynn) Grandfather, Jim Flynn from Paducah, Kentucky. Jim died at the age of 83 on Saturday morning. Jim lived a bountiful and service-filled life that has been upheld by Kat and her entire family. Jim was an ambassador for the University of Kentucky and will have his funeral on Saturday, March 26th. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kat and her family.

Relay for Life Bake Sale

The Relay for Life Bake Sale is happening Wednesday, March 30th, in the ESC Cafe! The UR Walking on Sunshine committee is looking for bakers (or go out and purchase, we won’t tell 😉) to help our team raise funds and beat OIT! Outside of the auction, the bake sale is our biggest source for support, and there’s no better way to end the Lenten season than with a sweet treat.

Following the pattern from previous years, we are selling individual items (cookies, brownies, bars, etc…), or whole items (cakes, pies, etc…). If you would like to submit a baked good, please reach out to Jess Witous (j.witous@nd.edu) or Leah Corachea (kcorache@nd.edu)

It would be greatly appreciated if I could get a rough estimate of our inventory by March 28th so we can best prepare for this event.

Your support is sincerely appreciated,

Jess, Leah, Kristin, and Pam​
