Thank You from the Gala Chairs
Dear Friends, Welcome to Nutcracker Suite on Eye Street. Nine months ago, the three of us sat around a kitchen table conjuring up Sugar Plum dreams and with the tireless efforts and help from our incredible Gonzaga Community, we are watching them unfold and come true right before our eyes. Tonight is a celebration! As we welcome you to the 35th Anniversary Gonzaga Christmas Gala, we have much to be grateful for and look forward to celebrating our school, our sons, and our community with all of you. Chairs are only as good as the people they have around them and we have awesome people! We would like to thank each and every one of you for helping out wherever and whenever needed. Your efforts helped us tremendously and we had a great time in the process. We treasure the friendships we have formed and it truly has been a wonderful opportunity to watch the magic come alive. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to the auction this year. It is wonderful to witness the generosity of parents, faculty, staff, businesses, and friends of Gonzaga. The success of this event relies on your continued support and the outpouring of sponsorships, advertisements, class donations and exciting auction donations has demonstrated your commitment to our school. We are truly humbled by your generosity. In the spirit of celebration, we would like to acknowledge each of you for making this a memorable event for years to come. We extend a special thanks to all of our gala guests. Your contributions are invaluable to Gonzaga and directly support educational programs, service projects, and generous need-based student aid that helps develop our Gonzaga boys into “Men for Others”. Eat, drink, BID and be merry! It is a night of magical moments and a celebration of our amazing community. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our visions of Sugar Plums come true!

The Father McKenna Center Table in the Carmody Center Established in 1983 by St. Aloysius Parish to carry on the legacy of Fr. Horace B. McKenna, the saintly associate pastor of St. Al’s, who dedicated his ministry to the service of the poor and marginalized in the community, the Father McKenna Center is proud to count Gonzaga College High School and the Gonzaga Mothers Club as vital partners in our work to serve the homeless and very low income families who rely on us each day. The Father McKenna Center operates a Day Shelter for men struggling with homelessness, serving 100+ men daily. We offer basic services (food, clothing, mail, etc.) to entice the men to engage our case managers so they can move to the right next step. The Center provides a Hypothermia Program (November to March) to provide a warm bed for 18-20 men. We also operate a Food Pantry serving 200+ families each month, offering quality fresh produce, bread, milk, eggs, meat and an array of nonperishable foods. Today Gonzaga students serve in our Food Pantry – helping us meet the needs of 200+ families from the neighborhoods around Gonzaga find the groceries they need to feed themselves – and in our Day Shelter program – serving Midday Meal to 50+ men struggling with homelessness. The Gonzaga Mothers’ Club provides dinner each evening for our Hypothermia Program that provides 18-20 men a safe and secure place to stay through the winter, while they work to secure a job, a transitional or permanent place to live or other “right next step” for them. How Can You Help? • Volunteer – our small staff (of 7) always needs people to help serve a meal, help in the food pantry, in our clothing distribution program or in myriad other ways. • Sign up to be part of the Gonzaga Mothers Club Hypothermia Program by providing or serving dinner to the men. Check on the Gonzaga Mothers Club webpage under the McKenna Center tab for more information. Please visit our table in the Carmody Center, so we can say “Thank You!” and to receive a special memento from the Father McKenna Center team.

Giving Opportunities
The Gonzaga Christian Service Program Each year, Gonzaga students enjoy a breadth of opportunities for service, deepening their commitment to social justice and fulfilling their call to discipleship. Following the retirement of Sr. Seton Cunneen at the end of the 2014-2015 school year, the Campus Ministry office now continues the tradition of service that she fostered so passionately. The school’s Christian Service Program includes both local, weekly service opportunities as well as more extensive immersion experiences. During the school year, students dedicate time to serving meals with the Father McKenna Center here on Eye Street, or through McKenna’s Wagon, Food and Friends, and the Campus Kitchen Program. Other students travel to the Washington Jesuit Academy where they play chess and mentor younger students. The school partners with both So Others Might Eat (S.O.M.E) and Reading Partners to engage the senior class in service that supports the Social Justice course. Additionally, students are drawn to grow in their commitment to a faith that does justice through a rich service immersion program that allows our students to serve communities in Camden, Apopka, South Dakota, New Orleans, rural Emmitsburg, the US/Mexico Border and the Kino-Border Initiative. On these extraordinary service trips, Gonzaga students are given the opportunity to make working with those in need a “habit of the heart”. Through their encounters with the people of these communities, they are invited to understand in what ways those they work alongside are marginalized by various injustices even as they are invited to more closely identify with them. The list of service opportunities at Gonzaga is robust and students are welcome to stop in the Campus Ministry Office any time. The proceeds from tonight’s coat check will befit Gonzaga’s Summer Service Projects.
