Hi San Diego Notre Dame Family:

A couple of quick updates on upcoming events as you prepare for another amazing San Diego weekend…

Calling all female alums, parents, friends of ND!

Would you like to be a part of getting San Diego’s ND Women Connect Chapter started?

We will have an informal gathering at 630pm on Tuesday, June 11 at:

Map & Directions

It will be an opportunity to meet each other, discuss ideas and plan an event for the summer. We will start slowly, hopefully build momentum and get San Diego ND Women Connect off the ground. No idea is too small and no idea will be flat out rejected. ND Women Connect can only be as good/active as we want – it’s up to us!

Please let me know if I can expect to see you on Tuesday, June 11 at 630pm. If you cannot make it and have ideas/suggestions/things you want to see within a chapter of ND Women Connect, please let me know.

Thanks for your time.

GO IRISH!!!

Hi San Diego Domers –

May is Hesburgh Month of Service. Fr. Ted was born on May 25th (1917); each year as a birthday gift from the Alumni Association, clubs around the world undertake service projects in Fr. Ted’s name. All of the project descriptions are combined into a book and presented to Fr. Ted.

On Saturday, May 18th from 10:30 – 1:00, the San Diego Club’s will serve lunch to those in need at St. Vicent de Paul Villages. We only have 15 spots available so please contact Lisa Schenck at community@ndsandiego.org, as soon as possible if you’d like to be part of our service project. Anyone 10 or older is welcome to volunteer, though ages 10-17 must be accompanied by an adult. St. Vincent de Paul is located at 1501 Imperial Avenue, SD 92101.

Please join us as it will be a great experience & we will definitely be busy as they usually serve 1,400 people in 1.5 hours.

If you are interested in organizing an additional project as part of our Hesburgh Month of Service contribution, feel free to suggest that as well by e-mailing community@ndsandiego.org.

It is with great pleasure that we look forward to hosting the 17th Annual Charity Dinner and Golf Classic!

This year we will be enjoying dinner and playing at The Farms Golf Club, one of the most exclusive venues in San Diego. Building upon last year’s success, we have renewed our relationship with Dinner with the Pros , a foundation headed by Notre Dame alum and former San Diego Charger John Carney, to raise money for local charities.

Some of the charities benefiting from this year’s event are: All for God Catholic Youth Ministries, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, Mary’s Mercy Center, Veronica’s Home of Mercy
