Monster Bash is a family-friendly yet adultfun annual event, which as always, was held the Thursday before Halloween (October 25th of this year.) Gerogetowne Club served as the venue hosting an area for a Children’s Corner, while the Photobooth offered an opportunity to capture the fun in pictures. Back by popular demand, Brandeis Catering provided a Mexican buffett and dessert bar. EJ from the KAT 103.7 emcees the event. Matt Cox was a special musical guest this year. Monster Bash committee: Kathy Baer, RyAnne Hastings, Nick Heinrich, Jean Koerten, Heather Roberts, Michele Roberts, Jon and Sue Roberts, Robyn Sitzman, and Darbi Warden LEAP-for-a-Cure is a grass-roots effort to benefit the Omaha community with better education, awareness, and treatment for brain tumor patients.

More than 400 friends of Marian High School experienced a bit of Parisian charm at the 31st annual MarianFEST (Funding Education in the Servite Tradition), Marian’s largest fundraising event of the year. This year’s event raised nearly $300,000, which will support tuition assistance for Marian students. The theme for the Oct. 13 benefit dinner and auction held at Marian was “Passport to Paris: A Journey in the Servite Tradition” in honor of the Servants of Mary, the founding order of Marian, which had its origins in the small village of Cuves, France. The night’s festivities began with a Mass at the Servants of Mary Chapel where Rev. Tom Fangman of Sacred Heart Parish presided. Executive chairs of MarianFEST 2012 were John and Julie Tarr Andresen ‘84, Jim and Patty Buser, Jeff and Dawn Gross, Buck and Susan Heim, Dan and Mary Ann Mulhall and Pat and Karen Campbell Rosenthal ‘84.
