“Lassie (Laddie) Come Home”

9/29/2014

 
I know I am dating myself with this headline but as John Lennon says, “Let It Be.”

October is a very busy month at Notre Dame as I hope you all know and/or remember.  This is a great month for ND to assemble in many varied ways.  We start the month with our annual “Run4Kelly” which will take place on Saturday, October 4th at 10:00 a.m.  This race is to raise funds for melanoma research in honor of Kelly Golat (’96) who died of melanoma at the age of 24.  Join us and many ND alumni, students, parents, and friends as we run, walk, stroll, or just sit as we remember Kelly while raising money for, and creating an awareness of, this deadly disease.

Immediately following the race and festivities, “run” to downtown Stroudsburg to join Deirdre Gurry (’94) who will be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel at a 3:00 p.m. ceremony at the Delaware Room which is located at 700 Main Street in Stroudsburg.

Then, wait a week and come to Homecoming.  The dance and the crowning of the King and Queen will be Friday, October 10th from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. and the booths will open on the 11th at 1:00 for a 1:30 varsity Boys’ Soccer Team vs. N. D. Alumni.  If you can still run (jog) down the field or block others from trying, put on your cleats, shirt, and shorts and join the alumni team.  Otherwise, stand along the sidelines and support the ND students as you watch the game.  I’m sure there will be some unofficial get-togethers afterwards.

The 3rd weekend in October is our Basket Raffle (formerly Tricky Tray).  This is a great opportunity to visit old friends, win some prizes, and support the technology needs of Notre Dame.  This fundraiser has a long tradition at Notre Dame and the funds have been very important as we strengthen our technology capabilities.

If you can’t make any of these weekends, travel through “the Burgs” and notice the fresh art work created by many local artists.  At least two of these artists are ND grads, i.e.  Nova Chan (’98) and Anna Kaszupski (‘90).  I was walking down Crystal Street the other day and stumbled on Anna as she was literally putting the finishing touches on her mural.

So, Lassie and Laddie, come home to Notre Dame!  This means current students and families as well as alumni (ae) and families (old and new).  If home is the “place where when you have to go there, they have to let you in,” we can’t wait to see you.

Mr. Lyons
