Congé 2009

This year’s Congé event was a great success!  It was held on Saturday, January 31st at the Embassy Suites in LaVista, NE.  With over hundreds of auction items, dinner and our celebration, Congé “Sacred Hearts Around the World,” raised over $230,000!  As always, the family, alumnae and friends of Duchesne rallied together in spirit, dedication and love for our school. The laughs and camaraderie were genuinely felt throughout the night!

A huge thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our special event that evening, especially our 2009 Congé Chairs:

Leah Bauer

Kathleen & Peter Langdon                     

Janie and Greg Mikuls

Nancy and Jim Mulhall

Judy and John Wees

…And thank you to all those who helped us create another amazing Congé for our family, alumnae, and friends.  We could not do this without you! 

The Duchesne Academy Golf Classic This year’s annual Golf Classic is scheduled for Friday, September 11, 2009 at Tiburon Golf Club. Current parent, Steve Buehler and his business partner, Brian Drelicharz will be the event co-chairs. Boxed lunches will be served at 11:30 a.m. and shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. An awards banquet BBQ dinner will follow your golf game. At that time, prizes and winners will be announced and awarded.   Our goal this year is to not only dominate the course, have fun and enjoy hearing Duchesne stories present and past, but to raise a minimum of $25,000 to help fund our general operating budget and offset tuition costs.   Note: The tournament is on a Friday this year!!! It may be the last time you golf for the summer! T.G.I.F.!   For more information about either of these events, please contact Meghan Rowen at 558-3800 x.1073 or mrowen@duchesneacademy.org.
