On March 27, over 45 members of the Notre Dame Club of Greater Orlando
participated in the Club's Annual Communion Breakfast for a special morning of
worship and fellowship.
Mass was celebrated at St. Margaret Mary on Park Avenue in Winter Park at 9:30
a.m., followed by a champagne brunch at Circa Restaurant across the street from
the Church. Our diverse group (including Young Alumni, Members, parents,
children, and friends of the Club) was recognized by Father Walsh at Mass.
The group then enjoyed a fantastic meal at Circa (including options such as Fried
Green Tomato Eggs Benedict, Pan Con Dulce de Leche French Toast, and Steak
and Eggs with Chimmichurri, as well as a complimentary Mimosa).
The event this year was a great opportunity to share our faith, and get to know
other members of the Club over a nice meal in a family-friendly setting.
Dessert Reception at Sam Snead's
Greater Orlando had a record 24 high school seniors admitted to Notre Dame's Class of2015. Thirteen of the students,
with their parents, attended a dessert reception at Sam Snead's Tavern in Maitland recently. The party was hosted by 14
present and former members of the Club's Board of Directors, nine recent graduates, and seven parents of current Notre
Dame Students.
Enjoying dessert at Sam Snead's were Rick ND'74 & Judy ND'15 Scharf; Shannon ND'04 and Sean
ND'32 Batal; Keith WertschingND'15; Mike ChandlerND'04; and RyanND'15 Huhn.
Summer Service Learning Program Host Families Needed
The Summer Service Learning Program is an eight-week experience where the Notre Dame Center for Social Concerns
(CSC) invites Notre Dame Alumni Clubs to sponsor a student(s) to work in an agency or parish in the local community of
the Club. The Center recruits Notre Dame Students who are interested in expanding their education by working with and
learning from persons who are marginalized in society. In 2010, 113 Notre Dame Alumni Clubs sponsored 226 Notre
Dame Students in sites across the country.
We are pleased to advise you that the Notre Dame Club of Greater Orlando will be sponsoring a SSLP Student again this
year. Our 2011 SSLP student is Adriana Zurbano'14 of Howard Hall and Downers Grove, Illinois. Adriana will be
working at the BETA Center in Orlando, and she will be here for about 8 weeks from June through the beginning
of August- exact dates are still being confrrmed. We are in need of host families to assist in housing for 2 week
intervals. Adriana will have her own car.
Can you help? You supply lodging & food, and whatever else you wish to share with her (trip to the beach, Disney, a
good book). This is a wonderful way to "give back" to your University and the students that are currently attending. The
CSC has asked that we provide them with the names of the host families by May 3rd. Please feel free to contact me SSLP

19th Annual Notre Dame Club of Greater Orlando
Charity and Scholarship Golf Tournament
It's just a few days until the 19th Annual Notre Dame Club Charity and Scholarship Golf Tournament on
May 6, 2011, once again at Timacuan Golf Club in Lake Mary. The day is one of the highlights of our
Club's calendar and a great way to help the community while enjoying a fun round of golf. Please see the
brochures attached and sign up soon. We still have room for a few foursomes! ND Alumni can get credit
for their annual giving for up to $100. The easiest way to do this would be to become a sign sponsor;
please make your checks out to the ND Club of Greater Orlando Scholarship Fund and please note that
you would like for us to forward on to the University for credit. Larger sponsors (blue and gold or
foursome etc.), please make a separate check for $100 and note the same.
Please contact any member of the golf committee for further information.
Go Irish!
We hope to see you ail on the first Friday of May in 2011 !
