This year’s event will take place at Tiburon Golf Course which is located at 10302 S. 168^th Street. It will be a a Texas Scramble beginning at 1:00 p.m. The entry fee is $90.00 per golfer and includes the golf, a cart, buffet dinner, prizes (including a Notre Dame golf bag) and free cocktails for approximately 2 hours after finishing the course.

Judge Thomas Shanahan (’56) received the club’s ‘Person of the Year’ award at the 2010 Universal Notre Dame Night held on May 20 at Field Club Omaha. Shanahan was honored by the club for his accomplishments as a Nebraska Supreme Court and U.S. District Court judge, dedication to community service, and support for the University. Board member Bob Mullin, who introduced Shanahan, spoke of his passion for the law, years of work with the homeless at the Stephens Center, and the Notre Dame fight song that played while a caller waited for him to answer. Shanahan, accompanied by his wife, children, and several grandchildren, was presented with a plaque and received a standing ovation from the crowd of approximately 90 attendees.

Later in the evening, university vice president and general counsel Marianne Corr, spoke about student life, changes around campus, current and future initiatives, and fielded questions about her role with the university. Among other topics, including her decision to leave a prestigious law firm to take the general counsel position, she spoke about her ‘interesting’ experiences working out the final details for this year’s ND-Army game held at Yankee Stadium. “The Yankees were great,” she remarked with a smile, “but their lawyers…”

After closing remarks from club president John Menicucci, board chairman Tom Jenkins led the audience in the alma mater.

It’s time to kick off our 5th Annual Christmas Giving efforts. The Notre Dame Club of Omaha would like to help others in our community enjoy a truly blessed Christmas season. With the difficult economic conditions this year, I know our efforts will be greatly appreciated.

Last year, Club members donated gifts for families, affecting a total of 78 family members; it was our largest effort yet. Our goal is to ‘adopt’ as many families as possible, giving them gifts such as food certificates, clothing, or children’s toys. The families often have wish lists to help guide the gift givers. If you are not comfortable adopting an entire family, we can split families amongst our group.  In addition, last year we donated countless warm weather items for the Salvation Army’s Winter Night Watch program.  Cash donations are welcome as well (we will do the shopping for you). All donations will be anonymous. Gifts do not have to be large in scale to make a difference.

Before I commit to the number of families we will adopt, I need feedback from you! We must relay our interest to the involved organizations as soon as possible. Gift donations will be due in ahead of the Christmas holiday in order to allow time to deliver the packages to the families. If your family would prefer to deliver your gifts directly, that can be arranged in most cases.
Please contact me (email below) if you are interested in adopting a family, part of a family, or would like to give a cash donation. Email Amy.Patterson@conagrafoods.com with any questions as well
