MIKE MCCOY SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS - In 2011 and 2012 the Gettysburg Club sponsored All American Notre Dame player Mike McCoy to visit 6 area catholic schools and give his presentation "Decisions Determine Destiny". He spoke to a total of 1,004 area students. Mike's eleven years in the NFL provided a platform to get the kid's attention but his real message was about making good decisions during this time of their lives. The kids were really happy to see him and his message on making the right choices about alcohol, drugs, and sex seemed to get through to the students. Mike had the students fill out cards and he made follow-up calls immediately after each session. Club members supported Mike at all of the schools. In his final school, Immaculate Conception in New Oxford, he visited all the classrooms as well. Mike McCoy Presentations 2011 Mike Mccoy Presentation Report 2012

"BIG" BINGO SCORES "BIG" FOR THE CLUB! The club's Big Bingo project for 2011 was completed on March 19th. Once again, Rick Staub and Linda Masenheimer led the way as our club made a profit of $5,557, with our partner Delone Catholic Athletic Association making the same amount. The support from club members was outstanding at all three events. This project is our major fund-raiser and allows us to continue the aggressive annual program set by the Board of Directors. The club's annual dues of $25 pays for only administrative costs. The club has a goal of providing $6,000 a year to increase our endowed scholarship fund at Notre Dame as well as multiple projects in each of the 6C areas. The first event for 2012 took place on February 25 and brought in $1,875 for the club. Big Bingo Event 012211 Big Bingo 022512

A PAST CLUB ACCOMPLISHMENT!

FATHER CORBY RESTORATION In late 2009 the club received word from Chuck Loving at the Snite Museum that our effort to get the Corby statue restored was completed. The club initiated the project, lobbied for funds, and contributed $2,000 to accomplish this goal. We were extremely grateful to Chuck for the role he played in this project. When we approached him he jumped in and provided some key action items needed to make this happen. Through follow-up of his suggestions we were able to accomplish a goal we established when the club was founded - to keep the legacy of Father William Corby in front of Domers and the general public. As you will see if you click on the link below the statue on campus was in bad shape. ND Gettysburg is proud to say that Father Corby is standing a bit taller on the campus of Notre Dame today.
