Thank you to our Golden, Silver, and Sleigh Bells sponsors, Gala Underwriters, and all the families and friends who have donated so generously to fill our auction with so many new and exciting items. Take a look at our Gala program—it is filled with so many beautiful ads supporting the Gala!
Secretary Judy Joyce
We are sincerely grateful to our multi-talented 2013 Gala Chairs, Karen Hill and Marcella Townsend, for their leadership and hard work in making this a special evening for the entire Gonzaga community. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our truly fantastic group of dedicated and enthusiastic Committee Chairpersons and volunteers who have spent many hours preparing for this evening. The fruits of their work will produce many gifts for Gonzaga, and they certainly have been gifts to us.

Sleigh Bells on E ye Street 32nd Annual Gonzaga Gala
December 7, 2013 Dear Friends, We are delighted to bring you Sleigh Bells on Eye Street, the 2013 Gonzaga Gala. When we started this endeavor six months ago we knew we would rely on the support of parents, faculty and friends of Gonzaga to make this night a reality. The generosity of our community has been nothing short of amazing. Every call for volunteers was answered. Every challenge for participation was met. And every one of you who generously offered your gifts, your talents, and your time, has done so graciously and always with goodwill. The Sleigh is full. We have made many new friends along the way, and been lifted by our Eagles’ Wings, who are always there to advise and support. We are truly humbled by your generous spirit and all you have done to make the Gala a success. For both of us, and our sons, this is our last year at Gonzaga, and we could not have spent it in a more meaningful way. We sincerely hope that the spirit of the season and the spirit of Gonzaga come through for you as it has for us on this special evening. Let the Sleigh Bells Ring! Merry Christmas! Karen and Marcella

Giving Opportunities
The Father McKenna Center Table in the Carmody Center The Father McKenna Center was established in 1983 to carry on the legacy of Fr. Horace McKenna, the saintly Jesuit priest who served at St. Aloysius parish from 1964 until his death in 1982 and maintained a heroic apostolate to the poor of inner city Washington. The Center today continues to meet his concern for the homeless and poor of our community. The Center serves the area by operating a daytime drop-in center for homeless men, the last such facility in downtown Washington. We offer our guests assistance with showers, laundry, telephone and local transportation, as well as referrals for a wide array of basic services to meet medical, employment and other personal needs. We assist over 100 men a day with these programs. Our Transitional Shelter program will assist men each year in learning to regain life and work skills. In addition, we respond to hypothermia conditions each winter by offering overnight relief from the cold to up to 25 men, who are otherwise extremely vulnerable to winter weather. Our outreach to households in our community includes provision of rent and utility assistance to men, women, children and seniors each year, as well as the emergency food program, which assists hundreds of families annually, by providing up to a six day supply of food each month.

Sister Seton Cunneen, SND

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 shutins 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 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. So beloved is our Sr. Seton that in 2009 the Gonzaga Crew Team christened a Resolute Eight the “Sr. Seton Cuneen”. It went on to make Gonzaga history by winning Scholarsic Nationals that year. The list of service opportunities at Gonzaga is robust and students know that they are welcome to stop in the Campus Ministry Office at almost any time. The proceeds from tonight’s coat check will benefit Gonzaga’s summer service projects. Please join us in thanking Sr. Seton Cunneen, a true Woman for Others.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

Raise the Paddle, Ring the Bells Help us restore Gonzaga’s iconic clock tower. The clock, which has watched over Gonzaga since 1861, is one of the most powerful symbols of Gonzaga College High School. The elaborate clock movement located in the tower was machined by hand by a Jesuit named Brother Wright in the early 1860’s. Powered by three massive weights, the movement runs the clock and rings the bells on the quarter hour. Brother Wright is reported to have also made the tower clock movement at Georgetown University and other Jesuit institutions. Maintaining this treasure will always require us to make financial investments from time to time. The proceeds from Raise the Paddle, Ring the Bells will be used toward replacing the mechanism which automatically winds the clock, adding new functionality to allow the bells to ring on demand and restoring the clock faces which have weathered over time. Please help us keep our clock on time and our bells ringing! (Information on Gonzaga’s clock provided by Father Stephen Planning, S.J.)
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

The clock which has watched over Gonzaga since 1861 is one of the most powerful symbols of Gonzaga College High School. The elaborate clock movement located in the tower was machined by hand by a Jesuit named Brother Wright in the early 1860’s. Powered by three massive weights, the movement runs the clock and rings the bells on the quarter hour. Brother Wright is reported to have also made the tower clock movement at Georgetown University and other Jesuit institutions. Maintaining this treasure will always require us to make financial investments from time to time. The proceeds from this item will be used toward replacing the mechanism which automatically winds the clock, adding new functionality to allow the bells to ring on demand for special occasions such as Graduation and restoring the clock faces which have weathered over time. Please help us keep our clock on time and our bells ringing! Priceless

Mr. Christopher T. Flannery
Always in our hearts, Forever in our Music
Woodshed - an alternative name for practicing; connotes the desire to make a piece of music into something beautiful. Flan Mans Band - the most blessed group of men at Gonzaga who have the privilege to bask in his glory every day at eighth period. Groovy - a phrase exemplifying the Flan’s ability to bring out the hippie in every day conversation; used by Flan to show his approval or his desire to get about his business and is usually followed by a snort or laugh.
34 | THE GONZAGA CHRISTMAS GALA
Under Water Basket Weaving Class a course apparently offered at Gonzaga though no counselor has ever found it; a joke made by the Flan Man, mocking any student who is late to band rehearsal or who didn’t practice. Shmengi - a term used to criticize a general group or idea; the term is often used by tying together a lesson to live by; the equivalent of Jesus saying “Brothers and Sisters.” Practice - an essential part if you wish to live the way of the Flan; instructed by his Holiness at the end of every rehearsal, it is to take precedent over all homework and other commitments.

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
Merry Christmas to the Gonzaga faculty and staff and thank you for all that you do every day for our sons.
