Gratitude To and From

Blessed with Volunteers

At the Madonna School we are blessed to have many volunteers help in a wide variety of areas. From assisting in the classrooms to the kitchen, from working with the students individually to promoting the mission in the community, the Madonna School and Workshop meets the needs of its students and clients with the help of valuable volunteers.

There are also many special events, like the Golf Classic and the Celebration Event, that require volunteers to spend many hours preparing and promoting in order to raise the funds necessary for the mission: empowering with education the Madonna School students and adults.

“There are two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we receive, and the larger kind we feel for what we give.” --Edward Arlington Robinson

Not surprisingly, there is often feedback from our volunteers about how grateful they are to the Madonna staff and students as well.

• A lovely dinner prepared by the sensational Italian Chef Patrizia Romansckyi, with the assistance of her charming husband Giorgio, in your home and served on your new Lenox Eternal China

Or

• Bring a party of eight to dinner at Creighton University with Rev. Timothy Lannon, S.J. 

Or

• How about a five course dinner for 10 people, hosted by Rev. Ryan Lewis and Madonna School Principal Jay Dunlap at Omaha’s famous Amato’s restaurant

Wait...wait... what about

• Tussey’s casual grill hosts ten guests to enjoy an evening of wine tasting featuring wines of the Ermenegildo Leporati Estate of Monferrato, Italy

OK, maybe you're thinking, I have too many friends!  This isn't enough.
Then what you want to consider is this -

• 50 guests, catering from Amato’s, a beautiful back-yard bash at a private home in Linden Estates, and Live music by The Finest Hour.

"Warm up your bidding arm honey, we're having a

party and I'm not cooking!"

Fr. Timothy Lannon SJ

I did a little research on Fr. Timothy Lannon SJ starting, of course, with Wikipedia. I won’t lay all of those details out for you – it’s pretty easy to find here.

This information stood out: “As an undergraduate, he received Creighton’s highest student honor, the Spirit of Creighton Award, in 1973.” 

The Spirit of Creighton Award, what is that? I asked Google.

It responded via the Creighton University web site:
