Dear Friends, Welcome to Mount Notre Dame’s 19th annual Grand Gala! It is sure to be a fun-filled evening, and I hope you enjoy it! This year as we celebrate New York Nights, I invite you to experience all the evening has to offer, including drinks, appetizers, games and a wonderful meal.

Don’t miss out on our Silent Auction items with electronic bidding available again this year. After dinner you will have the opportunity to participate in the Live Auction and our Fund-a-Need Paddle Raise. The Paddle Raise is the most important part of the evening, so please consider investing in our students when we ask you to “Be a Part of It (… New York, New York!)”

We are very grateful to our entire Advancement Team, under the leadership of Rose Eckhoff, and our many fantastic volunteers led by our Gala Co-Chairs Greg & Jen Waning and Bob & Kendra Wolterman, for the work that is involved in putting an event like this together. A special thanks goes out to Director of The Grande Gala Lisa Houser for her guidance, support and enthusiasm, and to the many people who helped get us to the final product you see tonight. It takes a village!

I would like to extend a special thanks to our many sponsors this evening. Please support their businesses if you can. Thanks also to those who donated a gift to the Silent or Live Auction, and to all of you who will be bidding tonight. The money raised at this event is used to help cover the cost of educating all of our students, as well as to provide funds so we can offer financial assistance to those who can’t afford the cost of tuition. It is truly an investment in the future, and is greatly appreciated by all of us at MND. Gratefully yours,

Judy Back Gerwe ’78 President

WELCOME TO NEW YORK NIGHTS Welcome to New York Nights, MND’s 19th Grande Gala!

New York is iconic, from Broadway to the Empire State Building to Central Park, everyone has a favorite thing about the Big Apple! The four of us are blessed and greatly honored to be this year’s Grande Gala Co-Chairs and welcome you to an evening that you won’t soon forget! We want to start by thanking all of those who have made this night possible, the MND Advancement Office, the Faculty & Staff, the countless volunteers (adults and students), our generous sponsors, and to those of you in attendance tonight.

There is a lot to see and do tonight…Take a Shot, Heads or Tails, Cougar Cards, and Big Apple Baskets are all available before dinner. You will also have the opportunity to bid on our outstanding Silent Auction items, in the Grand Central, Lady Liberty, Coney Island and Fifth Avenue areas. After dinner, our Live Auction will begin. You will want to Be a Part of It as we auction some amazing items and experiences and support our Fund-A-Need for tuition assistance.

Just like in New York, you’ve got to have all the luck! Someone is going to win a lot of money with the Grande Raffle…and some will win smaller amounts too.

The Grande Raffle winners will be posted in Times Square, so be sure to stop by throughout the night. We will announce the Grande Winner at the conclusion of the Live Auction.

The success of Mount Notre Dame comes from a community of very generous people. The Grande Gala has funded many programs that empower our young women. As we gather here tonight, as the MND Family, let us continue the strong tradition of providing an outstanding education and the opportunity for our students to Learn, Live, Lead and Serve.

We hope that you will enjoy this evening, sharing laughs with friends, some old and some new, in the city that never sleeps! Thank you once again for all you do for MND! Break a leg!

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION The IRS requires that charitable organizations inform contributors of the deductibility of payments and donations made by patrons for fund raising activities. The following are guidelines provided to assist in your tax preparation.

1. Dinner Ticket The cost of each dinner ticket is tax deductible to the extent it exceeds the fair market value of the meal, which is $66 per person.

2. Purchased Gifts Tax deductible for the amounts paid in excess of the fair market value of each gift.

3. Cash Contributions Tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. For contributions of $250 or more, a written receipt is required.

4. Gift Contributions Tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. For non-cash property donations it is advised that you consult your tax professional, since the IRS has specific requirements for filing which may apply to you (i.e., an official appraisal is warranted if the value of an item exceeds $5,000 and is not a publicly traded security). You may deduct only what is paid in excess of each gift’s fair market value.

5. Raffle Tickets Are not deductible.

6. Receipts The auction “Check-out” form will serve as your official receipt for items purchased at The Grande Gala. The value set for each item is a “good faith estimate” as required by the IRS. You may deduct only what is paid in excess of each gift’s fair market value.

Thank You...

905. GET AWAY TO LAKE TAHOE!

Rustic and relaxing is what you will find here when you step inside this Lake Tahoe getaway! You and up to three others (adults age 25 or over) will be welcomed to visit this home away from home in beautiful Lake Tahoe, CA, for five nights and six days.

This welcoming, 1980s vacation home is the quintessential Tahoe get away that boasts a magnificent view of the Sierra Nevada mountains around Lake Tahoe. (Not located on the lake.) It is just minutes from Alpine Meadows and the famous Squaw Valley ski resorts. Within close proximity are countless beautiful hiking trails, the lazy Truckee River, the famed Emerald Bay, charming local eateries and shops in Tahoe City and Truckee, and (a bit further away) the casinos in South Lake Tahoe.

There are three bedrooms (two with queen sized beds, one with a double bed), two baths (both with showers), a ‘TV loft’ for watching movies, a full kitchen with large dining table, a living room with a wood burning stove and parking for two cars. An outside deck is the perfect place to sit and take in the natural beauty and solitude of the great outdoors. There is wi-fi and central heat (but no air conditioning or landline, as these are not typically needed).

The house is available throughout the year, on a mutually agreeable date with the owners. Arrangements must be made within one month of the Grande Gala and must be used within one year. No pets, please. Airfare not included.
