Dear Gonzaga Families and Friends,
Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Christmas Gala! Tonight we celebrate Christmas on Eye Street and the spirit, traditions and fellowship that make Gonzaga such a special school. I invite you to enjoy this festive evening with friends, old and new, and join in the bidding as we give generously to support Gonzaga. From its humble origins as a holiday benefit luncheon, the Christmas Gala has evolved over thirty years into a fabulous party that kicks off the holiday season and takes months of planning and legions of volunteers to orchestrate. Tonight, as we toast our predecessors for their inspiring leadership, we also recognize that the proceeds are donated to Gonzaga for financial aid, faculty support, and programs that turn our sons into “Men for Others.” Thank you to our Diamond, Platinum and Anniversary sponsors, along with the many families and friends, who have given so generously of their time, talents and resources to make this evening possible. Our heartfelt thanks to the Gala Committee and Gala Chairs, My Hanh Burr and Nancy Leach, for making this year’s Gala such a tremendous success. We are profoundly grateful for your loving devotion and selfless dedication to our school. The 30th Anniversary Christmas Gala is the culmination of a monumental labor of love, thank you to all who have made it possible. For thirty years the Gonzaga community has come together to share the true meaning of Christmas, and tonight we celebrate this milestone and look to the future. Thank you for coming this evening and for supporting Gonzaga. With best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Maureen McCarty President Gonzaga Mothers’ Club

Sister Seton Cunneen, SND
Photo by William Leahy
Our own Sister Seton Cunneen, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, is multi dimensional. She’s a Classicist and taught for ten years at Trinity College in Washington, DC. She earned a Masters in Classics from New York University, was a Fulbright Scholar in Rome, and received another Masters in Campus Ministry from Fordham University. She was also the Director of Campus Ministry for Trinity College before her arrival on Eye Street in 1995 to become the Director of Service Programs. Through our Campus Ministry program, students can tutor local school children, provide meals to shut-ins or those with Aids; help with McKenna’s Wagon or at the Father McKenna Center here on Eye Street. Gonzaga students are learning to follow Sr. Seton to help those in need. Each spring and summer she travels with our young men to Apopka, Camden, Guatemala or the Dominican Republic. On these extraordinary service trips and programs Gonzaga students are given the opportunity to make working with the poor a “habit of the heart”. In 1995, Trinity College established a Fellowship in her honor and each year students compete to be recognized as a Cunneen Fellow. She was awarded the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Medal in 2004 for her unwavering service to the Church, her boundless love of the poor, and her grace-filled teaching of the young men in her care. Last spring, the Gonzaga Crew Team christened a Resolute Eight, the newest boat in the team’s fleet, the “Sr. Seton Cunneen”. In May, that very boat went on to make Gonzaga history by winning Scholastic Nationals. Join us in honoring a true “Woman for Others”, Sister Seton Cunneen.

The History of the Gonzaga Gala
by Jura Koncius On the first Saturday of December in 1981, a group of Gonzaga moms gathered for box lunches in the gym around tables covered in purple felt. From this afternoon of camaraderie, spirit, and commitment this first holiday fund raiser gave birth to what has become a treasured part of the Gonzaga tradition - the annual Gonzaga Christmas Gala. Twenty five years, miles of ribbon, hundreds of trees, and thousands of pounds of beef tenderloin later, the 25th Gala tonight celebrates all that is great about this school. Over the last 25 years, Galas have raised over $2 million to sustain Gonzaga and help it be the place where boys become Men for Others. Says Father Allen P. Novotny, S.J., who has been attending the Gala since Claire Cooney, GMC President 1982-1983, hands Fr. Dooley a check with the 1994 when he became President of Gonzaga College proceeds from the first evening Gonzaga Gala. High School: “Each year it’s a miracle on Eye Street. It is a wonderful project with wonderful energy.” A rich history of service binds tonight’s co-chairs Alice Curtin and Karen Stewart to the 40 dedicated mothers that have gone before them. “Being a Gala cochair brings together everyone in the community,” says Debbie Onufrychuk, cochair in 2004. “Every year there is a sense of excitement and new ideas.” After the initial success of the 1981 luncheon, the Gonzaga party moved to the evening hours in 1982, because those savvy Gonzaga moms figured that if they turned it into a tasty meal with an open bar, they could get the Gonzaga dads to bid on auction items. Claire Cooney, who acted as chairman of the initial event, recalls that after hearing of the idea, some board members called her and said, “You’re crazy. Nobody will come downtown to Gonzaga at night.” Thankfully, they were wrong, and the tradition of the evening party and auction on the first Saturday of December took hold. That first year (1982), moms worked hard to transform the gym with wreaths of pinecones and Christmas trees. Students served the food and cleaned up, bringing tears to the eyes of their disbelieving moms. Holiday decorations and memorabilia were sold, and there was a silent auction. The evening raised about $17,000. But most importantly, the stage was set for this to become an annual event. Devoted Gonzaga Moms assemble In the beginning, the auction was more like a White Elephant sale, with items creative decorations for the bleachers at like vintage gum ball machines and antique silver candelabras donated from Gonzaga the 1989 gala “A Christmas Fiesta”. households. There was always an Irish Basket. One year, nearby Catania Bakery donated Italian bread loaves to sell. But each year, industrious moms upped the ante, and prizes began to include airfare to Europe, weeks at villas and beach houses, and French cooking classes. Soon, there were Irish coffee bars courtesy of the Dubliner and one of a kind auction items such as dinner at the Vice President’s house, tango lessons with Robert Duvall, a weekend with a Hummer, Simon & Garfunkel concerts, and hand stitched quilts. The President’s Dinner with Fr. Novotny is always one of the biggest draws of the evening, raising up to $17,000. “People think I actually cook the dinner but I don’t,” says Fr. Novotny. “ Actually we have volunteer chefs from the staff. And we gussy up the Jesuit Dining Room with elegant table settings.” A few years ago, the auction started featuring custom Gonzaga silk ties and scarves, and Post-it flags were added to the program so families could mark their favorite items. The project grew so big, it required more and more volunteers - there are over 200 this year alone - to solicit items, gather and wrap baskets, send invitations, edit the program, record reservations, decorate the gym and check everyone out - to name just a few of the things the Gonzaga moms do to make this night a success! The Galas had amazing themes. In 1993, the theme was “Miracle on Eye Veronica Shaffer & Barbara Black offer international foods for sale from a table in the Carmody Foyer at Street”. Pat Cox, who was cochair that year, says that theme still resonates with the 1988 Gala, “Christmas in the City.” her. “There are so many miracles that occur at Gonzaga. You realize there is so much spirit there.” There is 34 | THE GONZAGA CHRISTMAS GALA 2011
also no detail that is too small or task too big for the Gala gals to implement to present their themes. For example, there were bales of hay for “Country Christmas” in 1983. In 1998, “It’s a Wonderful Life” featured three foot wooden angels in the middle of each table. “We had a carpenter make 40 of them and we sold every one,” said Sharon Raimo, cochair in 1998. “I still put my angel out every Christmas”. Judy Stack recalls the 2002 “The Heart of Gonzaga Traditions” theme, where they placed cards on each table featuring ten facts about the history of Gonzaga. The check-outs are always memorable for the volunteers that process the hundreds of bids. In 1993, the first year credit cards were used, former Gonzaga Kathy Prominski, Joan Conley & Beth Wasp have president Father Bernard J. Dooley, S.J. said the opening prayer and then the fun setting up Athletic Eagle for the 2005 Gala, co-chairs, Riz Carey and Pat Cox, made the announcement “Get out your credit A Star Shines on Eye Street. cards girls and let’s start spending.” One year they had a power outage, several years there were computer crashes. Somehow the money was always collected. Then in 2003 came the marvelous Auctionpay, where with one swipe, everyone can shop ‘til they drop and go home without standing in a long line. Throughout the hours of pre-planning and worrying and late night meetings, the co-chairs look back on the experience as one of the most meaningful periods of their Gonzaga experience. “It is a lot of work, but the spirit of the mothers working together always made it so much fun,” recalls Barbara Black, a 1989 cochair. “There were anxious times, of course, but I always remember the cooperation of Father Dooley and everyone else who pitched in to do anything that needed to be done.” Black recalls one of her most anxious moments: when she and a group of moms drove out to pick up a Mazda Miata convertible that had been donated for a raffle and realized that none of them could drive a stick shift. Somehow, the car jerked its way to Eye Street as one should never underestimate the resourcefulness of Gonzaga moms on a mission! The women who chair this fabulous event are like the members of a special sorority, or perhaps a fighter squadron. “I did not meet my cochair until the May we were named,” says Ann McMurray of her 2003 cochair Mary Ralston. “Now she is one of my closest and dearest friends. We have become like twins - Gala twins.” This year’s cochair Karen Stewart says she is proud to do this job for Gonzaga. “There has been a thread through this whole 25-year history,” she says, “Mothers who love their sons and love this school and just want to give as much as they can to it.” The Gala chairs share a secret fear: snow. “We worried for two weeks before that it would snow,” says Ellen Murray, 1991 cochair. “We had everything under control, but you have Twenty-five years later, Gonzaga Moms are still at it! Ann Liashek & Ann Newell wrap baskets for the 2006 Silver Anniversary Gala, Many to realize there are some things you can’t control.” Several Gifts, One Spirit. inches of snow fell the Thursday before the Gala in 2002 making the Friday set-up a challenge, but all ended well as the snow provided a lovely winter wonderland effect for Saturday’s festivities, much to the relief of co-chairs Cathie Desmarais and Judy Stack. The 2001 event was perhaps the most poignant Gala of all, after the tragic events of 9/11 had brought heartbreak and terror to Washington’s streets. “We really thought about whether it was appropriate to go on with the planning,” says Suzanne Derby, 2001 cochair along with Katie Brady. “But the decision was made that the best thing we could do for everybody was to just be together.” To further add to the uncertainty, the Gala invitations were mailed the day of the anthrax attacks, snarling them in the Brentwood postal facility. But the Gonzaga spirit prevailed. Recalls Suzanne, “It was a very, very special evening at the Carmody Center. Everyone wanted to do something to help the school and do something positive. It helped us heal the community. It was more than just an auction, it was a resurgence.” As Mothers Club President Vivian G. O’Neill wrote in her letter in the Gala program that year, “In the midst of the turmoil in which we find ourselves, we cherish our traditions and seek peace in God’s love for us expressed so poignantly during Christmas.” How will the Gala change in the next 25 years? This year’s cochair Alice Curtin says the spirit will stay the same, but they may have to find new places to expand as the festivities grow bigger and bigger. “Each year, the women who create the Gala come up with amazing new wonderful ideas to make the event different in fabulous ways. Who knows, in 25 years, it may have expanded onto the roof of Carmody,” says Alice. “Whatever these women do, it’s going to continue the tradition.” Jura Koncius is the mother of Nico Dodd ‘08.

Five Years Later –
the
30th Anniversary Christmas Gala
In the subsequent five years, three different Gonzaga Presidents have offered blessings at the start of dinner. In 2009 all silent auction items were removed from the gym and displayed throughout the Upper and Lower Commons, creating space for an additional 100 dinner guests. The Gala has advanced technologically – we’re using hand held electronic bidding devices this year, and online RSVPs are the norm. The Christmas Gala will see changes in the future once the Carmody Center is renovated and expanded. But we’ve found that even with changes to our annual Christmas Gala, the spirit and purpose of the celebration remain the same. Gonzaga parents, alumni, Eagles Wings and friends look forward to our annual gathering and welcome the opportunity to be creative, collaborate, and give back to the school that does so much to help our sons grow into Men For Others. We think that’s why Eagles Wings parents and alumni to continue to stay involved in Gala planning; continue to help with decorations, and continue to attend the event year after year. And nobody embodies this dedication more than Rosemarie Buckley, who was GMC President for the first Christmas Benefit in 1981, chaired the event the following year and has generously donated a basket for thirty years in a row. Our Christmas Gala continues a thirty year tradition of a festive, spirited night filled with great cheer, cherished friends and goodwill.
