Farrelli’s: A Family Affair
By Craig Coovert
Alumni Relations Director
If you have lived in the greater Tacoma area over the last 30
years, there is a good chance you have eaten at a restaurant
owned by the Farrell family.
Beginning in the early 1980‘s, John Farrell B‘62 purchased The
Huckleberry Inn in Key Center. John and family then went on to
own Engine House #9, John's Hob Nob, and John's Restaurants
in Lakewood and Gig Harbor.
This then lead to the birth of Farrelli‘s. A good deal on a lease in
a building in Lacey, and many hours of research later, the concept of a restaurant with gourmet wood fire pizza was born. The
Lacey restaurant is the flagship restaurant. However, the restaurant has since added locations in Dupont, Tacoma, Sumner,
and Parkland.
The Farrell‘s are also a Bellarmine family through and through.
Along with John, John‘s wife, Margaret, is a 1964 Aquinas grad,
and their four daughters are all Bellarmine grads: Ann Farrell
B‘85, Katie Farrell B‘86, Jacque Farrell B‘89 and Lizz FarrellLewis B‘94. Jacque was a co-founder of Farrelli‘s with her parents in 1995, and all four of the Farrell daughters work for Farrelli‘s. Jacque, Lizz and Ann work full-time for the restaurant,
while Katie Farrell, a registered dietician and diabetes educator,
consults for Farrelli‘s on nutritional information and helps develop healthy recipes and diabetic friendly foods.
Lizz Farrell-Lewis says working with family can be very difficult
at times, but also extremely rewarding.
―We are a family full of passion and we evoke passion in one another, as well. We don't always agree, but we do always support
each other 100%,‖ Lizz said. ―There is a feeling of honesty and
trust that is immeasurable, and I believe that it contributes to
our success.‖
Lizz credits Bellarmine with teaching her the value of community service, and she tries to bring the values she learned at Bellarmine to how Farrelli‘s is run. Farrelli‘s recently won an award
from the National Restaurant Assoc., the "2010 Good Neighbor
Did you know…
There are five Farrelli‘s locations in the area: Dupont, Tacoma,
Parkland, Sumner, and Lacey
The Farrell‘s also own McNamara‘s Pup and Eatery, located in
Dupont across the street from Farrelli‘s.

Award". In September, the whole family went to D.C. to receive
the award for the work they do with the military as well as other
community service projects in the surrounding communities.
―We do lots of projects in our restaurants that encourage our
young staff members to become involved in the community,‖
Lizz said. ―We try to teach our staff the values that we grew up
with and the responsibility we all have to help those who need
it.‖
Lizz is especially proud of the restaurant‘s Mission Statement:
―To use our business system to create a vibrant working family
that provides nourishment to our neighborhood.‖
One of the restaurant‘s values listed on their website is growth,
and Lizz said that is currently a high priority. As she puts it,
―Farrelli‘s would like to have another growth spurt.‖
―We are still interested in growing our company so that we can
nourish many new communities,‖ Lizz added.
And on a personal note, Lizz wanted to add that their family
continues to grow in numbers as well.
―This summer, my husband and I will have the first boy in our
family since my dad!‖ Lizz beamed.
The Farrell‘s are a great example of an extended family taking
the values they learned at Bellarmine and applying them to running a business. This is evident when reading their Mission and
Value Statements displayed at their restaurants.

Bellarmine Honors it’s SRBC Members at the Spring Musical
The St. Robert Bellarmine Circle of contributors help to raise a significant portion of our annual
giving dollars, which are then made available as unrestricted support to the school. These larger
SRBC annual gifts are critical to meeting the financial goals of the school. The SRBC gift reflects
the givers ―vote of approval‖ for the school and the transformational opportunity it offers to all
our students who will become our community‘s future leaders.

Alumni Class Challenge a Huge Success!
After a lengthy hiatus, Bellarmine‘s Alumni Class Challenge Phone-a-thon returned this year, and the end result
can be summed in one word – Success!
We are excited to announce that we brought in over
$161,000 this year, approximately $11,000 over our goal for
the year. Much credit goes to the planning, preparing, recruiting, and long hours from Jessica Achziger (Director of
Annual Giving), Craig Coovert (Alumni Relations Director)
and Fr. Fred Mayovsky (Donor Relations Associate).
Calling took place in two phases, in November and February, with over 73 past graduates of Bellarmine, Aquinas,
and St. Leo‘s (class years ranging from ‗44 to ‘03), as well as
20 current parents and staff members, coming up to call
fellow classmates and past parents.
Many alumni callers who had been regulars during the heyday of the Class Challenge returned to help out this year.
One such caller was Charlene Baker A‘58. Charlene volunteers at Bellarmine because she ―enjoys being in the faith
and academic community that Bellarmine provides.‖
―The students energize me, the teachers inspire me, and the
presence of the Jesuits on campus is like coming home, a
continued reminder of our history and faith,‖ Baker added.
The response from those asked to come up to do the calling
was overwhelming. Many of our callers volunteered to call
during both phases. Brian Kampbell B‘96 was among the
many. ―I really believe in Bellarmine and the impact it has
on the lives of its students,‖ Kampbell said. ―I know personally how it affected me. I feel it is important to help
give back to Bellarmine so it can continue its mission.‖
It was very excited and reaffirming to see the response to
the younger classes willing to volunteer. Megan Fouty
B‘02, was one of the youngest alumni to come to call. She
said ―It was a great way to re-connect with some friends
and to give back to a great school.‖
When asked how she felt when a past classmates supports
Bellarmine, Fouty said, ―I think that's wonderful, especially considering our class is still getting on its feet financially. It shows some Bellarmine pride and generosity!‖
With the success of the Alumni Class Challenge this year, it
appears it will be here to stay. Steve Anstett B‘60, a wellknown teacher and administrator at Bellarmine for many
years, jokingly said he would be back to call if we had good
candy, but he also went on to say that seeing classmates
still giving to the school 50 years after graduation makes
him feel good.
SPECIAL THANKS!
Bellarmine would especially like to thank Rick Oldenburg,
a former Bellarmine employee and parent of two Bel-

larmine alums, who ran many phone-a-thons during the 90‘s. Oldenburg offered up his expertise to help revive the Alumni Class Challenge. Oldenburg was also a familiar face for past alumni who used to
call when he was running the phone-a-thons. His commitment and
dedication to the school does is remarkable.
Oldenburg was a dedicated caller, calling multiple nights during both
phases. ―I cannot imagine a world where those who received the benefits of Bellarmine‘s influence and teachings DON‘T give back to the
school in some measure that has meaning. As I make calls to others
who have been recipients, it is absolutely gratifying to learn that while
their stories may be somewhat different, their desire to support the
school continues on, even into retirement‖ explained Oldenburg.
During the second phase of the phone-a-thon, cell phones were generously donated to us to use for our calling. The cell phones made things
easier for our callers, as well as helped immensely with the set-up and
tear down each night. We would like to thank Tom Bordeaux B‘86 for
securing this donation for us.
Finally, the Alumni Class Challenge would not have been successful
without the generous donations of Bellarmine, Aquinas, and St Leo‘s
alumni and past parents of Bellarmine students. Thank you for your
support this year, and your continued support of Bellarmine Preparatory School.
If you would like more information on the Alumni Class Challenge
Phone-a-thon, or would like to take part in next year’s calling,
please contact Craig Coovert at [email protected] or

Spring Musical a ‘Pippin’ Hot Performance
From the Lion...
By Elle Sharrard B’12
―Pippin‖, the critically acclaimed musical written by Stephen Schwartz, tells the tale of its
namesake‘s quest to find himself. Pippin searches for satisfaction in war, women and living wild
and free. Through his trials and tribulations, Pippin realizes that the adage ―Home is where the
heart is‖ rings true as he decides to settle down with his true love Catherine and her son Theo.
Although the plot is not novel or profound, it appeals to the human condition in the sense that
there is no blanket answer to the question ―What is the meaning of life?‖ However, every person
has the ability to choose what has value in their lives and the power to live accordingly.
The Bellarmine production gave the show a valiant effort in its six runs. It involved 25 student
cast members with a representation of all classes, who put in tremendous amounts of energy into
this musical. Auditions were held in December with rehearsals starting right after Christmas
Break. As with any sport or hobby, practice makes perfect; these thespians put in endless hours. As opening night approached, night
rehearsals from 5:30-10:30pm took center stage in everyone‘s lives. Then, despite the chaotic nature of putting on a production, it all
came together. ―Like the show, (the students involved) have heart,‖ director Nancy Wilkinson remarks in the program.
The weeks of performances were a blur – ―The whole production was over in no time at all,‖ says junior Jessica Hernandez, who
played Berthe, Pippin‘s sassy grandmother.
―I felt like all of my hard work paid off once we performed. It was a bit stressful to keep up with homework and studies but it was
completely worth it,‖ says junior Lauren Pecaro, a member of the chorus.
Performance after performance, the cast entertained in a packed theater, giving everyone an enjoyable evening.
The end of a show is always bittersweet – those involved regain a degree of freedom in their lives, but also lost an extremely close bond
that took place every night, with Bellarmine brothers and sisters.
―At the end of ‗Pippin,‘ I felt a huge relief. No more getting home late. No more slippage of grades. Some more sleep. But… I did shed
some tears. As cliché as it sounds, it was a bittersweet moment,‖ says sophomore Sarah Chae.
With the end of the musical comes the end of an era for this group of theater kids. This was the last Bellarmine production for beloved
seniors. Hannah Carmichael, Bryce Cleary, Isabella Dahlgren and Wesley VanDevanter, as well as our adored director Nancy Wilkinson. They are all moving on to wonderful new chapters of their lives and we hope that they find that their lives are something more
than long. They will be greatly missed in the Bellarmine community.
However, the show may not be quite over yet. Bellarmine‘s musical productions have had a history of recognition through the 5 th
Avenue High School Musical Theater Awards. Judges from this program view a myriad of performances across the state and nominate
certain productions for special recognition. Although nominations are not announced until May 16, the theater department has a winning record in the past and can hopefully expect to see some reward from their labor.
Depending on if, and in what categories the ―Pippin‖ cast is nominated, they may have the opportunity to perform on Fifth Avenue‘s
stage, which is an unforgettable experience as only Henry Nettleton, winner of an Outstanding Actor and also Supporting Actor
award, and the cast of ―Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat,‖ remember.
In its run, ―Pippin‖ managed to spread a little sunshine and earn a spot in Bellarmine‘s heart.

Alumni Nights Kick-Off at Masa
The newly formed Alumni Board hosted an informal alumni
get-together at Masa on 6th Avenue in Tacoma on March 31st.
Over 40 Alumni and friends of Bellarmine, Aquinas and St.
Leo‘s came out for the evening. This event was the beginning
of scheduled local alumni events. There is tentatively another
gathering planned at Masa in June or July.
These gatherings are a great way to meet up with fellow classmates and friends in a casual, laid back atmosphere, while
also finding out what‘s currently going on at Bellarmine.
We‘d like to thank Masa, owned by Bellarmine grad John
Xitco B‘87, for hosting us in their upstairs banquet area. It
was a great place to hold an event.
The response was so strong to this event, Bellarmine plans to continue holding Alumni events and gatherings in the Southern California area. If you live in this area, and missed this gathering, make
sure you make it out to the next one.
