10 Alumni Association The DeSales Alumni Association continues to be a vibrant and active group within the DeSales community. Alumni events throughout the year provide opportunities for DeSales grads to celebrate the great friendships they have made while helping support the school and its students. Over the last five years, alumni activities and fundraisers have enabled the Alumni Association to donate over $100,000 to DeSales High School. Areas of support have included tuition assistance, mission trips, technology items, and special events, as well as unrestricted giving. Alumni events during the 2007-08 school year included the DeSales Family Reunion, the Dart Baseball League, Cornhole Tournament, the Shack Foundation Scramble, the DeSales Summer Picnic, and the Alumni Golf Scramble, hosted by the Class of ’71. The Alumni Association also provides many helpful volunteers for school events, such as the Benefit Feast, Ramble for the Roses and Open House, just to name a few. The group continues to update the Alumni Veterans Memorial located in front of the school, honoring DeSales men who have served or are currently serving our country in any branch of the military. Anyone interested in purchasing a brick for the Veterans Memorial should contact the school at (502) 368- 6519 for more information. If you are an alumnus interested in reconnecting with your former classmates, making new friends or just want to help support DeSales through its various alumni activities, please attend the next bi-monthly Alumni Association meeting on October 9, 2008, at 7:00 PM in the DeSales monastery annex.

The reunion weekend coincided with the annual DeSales Summer Picnic, and on Friday night a special booth was set up at the picnic for the group. About 25 classmates came, visited, and swapped many stories. The hair color may have faded, but the memories were still sharp! According to some, many of the stories did not need to leave the group. Wayne Stewart and MC Irvin stayed to help shut down the picnic. On Saturday night, the former classmates got together at the University Club on the campus of the University of Louisville. Twenty-eight people attended the dinner, with drinks and more stories getting the party started. Doug Strothman, President of DeSales High School, stopped in to visit and speak to the group.

Special thanks to Tom Kaelin, Joe Gahlinger, MC Irvin, Lynn Kurtz, Jerry Ennis for helping organize the weekend.
