GALA 2009  GUBayArea hosted it annual Gala September 25th in San Francisco to remember and honor Fr. Tony Lehman, S.J. Over 100 members and their guests joined in the festivities which commenced with a mass being offered by Fr. Bruno Segatta. Fr. Bruno noted that Tony Lehman was his predecessor at Gonzaga-in-Florence and spoke fondly of him; describing him as a person that fixed "broken spokes" and that impacted nearly everyone in which he had contact. Gary Ittig and Rich Angotti spoke and recalled their experiences with Fr. Tony. Fr. Bruno created and gifted two portraits of Fr. Tony. After a fabulous Tuscan dinner, the sponsoring rights of each were auctioned off to benefit the GUBayArea Scholarship Fund. Mary Nadine Kane (grand daughter of Angelo Sangiacomo) and Simon Manning (GIF ’86 & GU ’87) were the high bidders and their Fr. Tony paintings will hang in Gonzaga-in-Florence and Spokane respectively. Gala 2009 was co-chaired by Randy & Marlene DeVoto and Rich & Cathy Worner. Mike Tobin October 6, 2009 |

GUBayArea - Summer Update First and foremost, we are looking for those who would like to become involved in various activities, i.e. the Gala, Business Forum, Service, 20-30's, Faith, Marketing/Promotion etc. GUBayArea has been fortunate the past 3 years to enjoy great support from its members. Since we have grown by leaps and bounds since 2006, we are calling out to our members (new & old) to help us plan and execute our programs. GUBayArea needs your ideas and energy to insure another incredible year as GU's "biggest & best" Alumni Chapter. Summer Events: We have a very large and geographically diverse organization, for which it is a challenge to plan and host events that are convenient and within a reasonable range our members. As such, it is important, if not essential, that we host events in the major membership areas, i.e. San Francisco, South Bay, East Bay, North Bay and Sacramento. To this end, our thought is to host a summer function in each of these areas, but need your help to do so. These events can be anything that you want them to be, a house/pool party, a social at a local restaurant or other such venue, a service project, a wine tasting etc. etc. The major ingredient is that our membership steps up and takes the lead. We can provide the membership contact numbers and email addresses, and we can do the email blasts and record the RSVP's. The main ingredient is member participation. How about you? |
