Pioneer Expedition Duchesne High School Dinner Auction Saturday, April 25, 2015

President’s Welcome Dear Friends and Fellow Pioneers, Welcome to our 35th annual dinner auction! Thank you for joining us again this year on our Pioneer Expedition. It is extraordinary to trace back Duchesne High School’s history to 1924 and look at the important role this school has played in the St. Charles and St. Louis communities, as well as each of the students’ lives who have attended. Even though my own stay at Duchesne will be short, I am incredibly proud to call myself a Pioneer. The wonderful dedication and charity of time, talent, and treasure I have witnessed in that short time has been truly humbling. Tonight, we continue to celebrate our tradition of dedication and charity, keeping Duchesne vital for many more students to come in the future.

Thank you for joining us.

Tonight is a celebration, embracing all that makes Duchesne so outstanding – the tradition, the mission, and the wonderful community. Together, we will move the Duchesne mission forward and advance the academic, physical, and spiritual preparation of our young men and women.

The Duchesne community has accomplished many wonderful things – all of which are credited to the hard work and dedication of the great people: faculty, staff, parents, alumni, students, and more that make up the Duchesne family. Our community, tradition, and mission make up our foundation – a foundation that is solid and well-set. We are truly, truly blessed.

We honor and thank Marilyn (Podhorsky) Geery and Mary (Tackett) Brinkmann from the Class of 1965, as well as Gina (Stratman) Walton and Dan Wilmes from the Class of 1990, for their special support of the Pioneer Expedition. We would never have arrived at tonight’s destination without the leadership of our volunteer chairs: Renee Ehrlich, Lori Euper, and Debbie Garnier.

The work undertaken by each of these men and women, both publicly and behind-the-scenes, is truly remarkable. Their tireless efforts have been supported by our dedicated Advancement team – Kris, Lindsay, Sandy, Maggie, JoBeth, and Nancy. We also sincerely thank all the students, parents, faculty, alumni, and friends who have contributed in varied ways to make this evening such a success.

With gratitude and Christ’s blessings in mind, body, and spirit,

Bernie Naumann President 1

Lori was a volunteer chair for the 2013 and 2014 Pioneer Expedition auctions and has worked with the silent auction committee for the last six years, coordinating the School and Sports shop. She also has been the Duchesne Hockey Cheerleading Coach for five years.

Lori works for Brown Shoe Company in the IT department, and Bob works for Lou Fusz Toyota.

Lori and Bob support Duchesne’s exceptional Catholic, college preparatory education by giving their time, talent, and treasure to the school’s mission.

Debbie Garnier and her husband Greg are the proud parents of three children: Tom ’13, who is currently attending Missouri State University; Samantha ’14, a freshman at Missouri S & T; and Emily, a current junior at Duchesne. Debbie and Greg are grateful to Duchesne High School for preparing their children for the future in mind, body, and spirit. All three children have had wonderful experiences at Duchesne.

Fund-a-Need Upgrading of the Weight Room Facilities As part of our mission to educate each individual student as a whole person, in mind, body, and spirit, we strive to create the best possible learning environment for our young men and women. During the past few years, we have made significant financial outlays in the areas of technology and facilities to work toward this goal. We seek to be good stewards of the funding and mission entrusted to us as we prepare our students for the challenges of the 21st century.

Last year, we kept facilities in focus, but also included our mission aspect of “body”, as we asked your assistance with the renovation of the tennis courts. With your help, we were able to complete the tennis court project last summer. The results are immediate in both the appearance of the courts as well as the continual improvements of our tennis teams. We are also able to use the renovated courts for our physical education courses. In the “mind” aspect of our mission, we continue to grow with recent investments in areas such as robotics, programming courses, and ACT test preparation.

This year, we want to focus our Fund-a-Need project on the “body” aspect of our mission and our thriving athletics program again through upgrading our weight room equipment. Duchesne’s weight room serves all of our students, through the physical fitness training in our physical education courses and the competitive preparation of our student athletes. This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of every student at Duchesne High School.

We believe that upgrading our weight room will definitely increase opportunities for our students’ success in their athletic competition and their own personal fitness. The improvements will also contribute to the campus aesthetics for our prospective students. Your Fund-a-Need donation will allow us to replace or upgrade:

• • • •

Cable weight machines Free weights: dumbbells and hand weights Cardio equipment: treadmills and elliptical machines Functional training equipment: stability balls, medicine balls, and plyometric boxes

Ms. Debi Westhues, our Director of Athletics, has extensive experience in personal training, athletic coaching, and fitness center planning. She will be partnering with our physical education teachers and coaches to maximize the effect of any donation we receive. The total cost of the project is estimated at $45,000 – with your gift, you will partner with our teachers, coaches, and students to provide the best possible personal fitness training and opportunities for success in their athletic endeavors.

Thank you for your support!
