Jesse Harper

Thank you to everyone who attended UND Night last Wednesday, July 1st.  We had over 120 Alums and friends of Notre Dame.  ND Athletic Director, Jack Swarbrick gave an inspirational talk about the history of Notre Dame football, how ND football coach Jessie Harper really changed the course of ND athletics forever and included how 2009 marks the 100th year of Michigan whining.  At the end of his address he spent time answering questions about the University, the athletic program and ND current events.

We were very fortunate to have Mr. Swarbrick address the ND Club of Omaha.  Special thanks to Outgoing Chairman of the Club Board Dick Berry and Outgoing Club President Scott Cavey for their service to the Club and assistance with Mr. Swarbrick.  Also special thanks to Bob Mullin and Rich Gilloon for planning and coordinating UND Night.  Thanks again to all those who attended and look for more information at www.ndclubomaha.com regarding the upcoming Freshman sendoff event on Sunday, August 9th and the Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, September 14th.  GO IRISH!

Meghan Gaule (’08) will be hosting a fundraising event for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society this Friday, April 17 at Barrett’s in Omaha.  The event will take place from 7 pm - close.  See Meghan’s description below.

I am doing a triathlon at the end of June through the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society’s Team in Training program, and as part of the event, each
person has to raise $2900 for cancer research.  I am having a
fundraiser on Friday at Barrett’s from 7-close.  I am hoping to have a
good turnout, so I’m trying to spread the word as best as possible!
There will be some raffles, beer pong, and hopefully some volleyball
if it’s nice out.

Swimming, biking, and running for a cure!
