The
Emerald
Auction
41st Annual
Emerald Auction
March 15, 2014
Dear St. Robert School community and friends,
Spring can be a long time coming along Lake Michigan. For 41 years, however, the St. Robert community has figured out a way to heat things up, starting with a Mardi Gras celebration in 1973 that later became a St. Patrick’s
Day dinner, and is now the Emerald Auction. The single largest fundraiser for St. Robert School, the auction raises
money that's essential to the school’s daily operation.
And over the years, what’s become essential to the Emerald Auction is you. We are so very grateful to the hundreds of parents, teachers, students, staff, family, alumni, parishioners and friends of St. Robert’s who volunteer,
donate, plan and work towards making this annual event such a highlight of the school year. (Thanks, too, to our
hosts at the Italian Conference Center for welcoming us in once we outgrew—and grew and grew—our space in
the school!) Every Emerald Auction has its unique feel and flair. What never changes, though, is the emphasis on
fun.
Of course, this is a school auction, so please appreciate that there’s a little homework (and one textbook, this
catalog) required to get the most out of your evening:
• First, study this catalog for the many amazing items, experiences, and sign-up parties on offer.
• Second, get ready for the Live Auction. With new items and a new, professional auctioneer this year,
it promises to be more exciting than ever. Team up with others to make a winning bid, or—talk about
smart money!—buy a Live Auction Raffle Ticket the night of the event. Win, and you just might be able to
choose the raffle item of your dreams.
• Third, we’ve got a new raffle this year, the iChance, with not one, not two, but three amazing prizes: an
iPad Mini, a full-size iPad, and a brand-new MacBook Air.
• Fourth, no school day is complete without some exercise, so polish your dancing shoes. After an exquisite meal together, our musical guest, the famous Five Card Studs, will have everyone up and out on the
dance floor.
Thank you again for supporting St. Robert School. For almost 100 years, it has helped forge the faith, and minds,
of generations of students. Your contributions to the Emerald Auction will help the school welcome another century’s worth of “saints and leaders.”
And never forget the fun spirit that started it all. In the words of Margaret Mathews Sankovitz—school parent/
grandparent, parishioner, proud alumna (1947), and attendee of that very first evening in 1973 and almost every
one since—“Tis a fine evening. Tis!”
With gratitude, your 2014 Emerald Auction Chairs,
Susan & Liam Callanan Michelle & Shane Frazier Maria & Tim Roloff

St. Robert School — 1915 to present
By Margaret Mathews Sankovitz ‘47
A
s St. Robert School approaches its Centennial, the humble
but proud beginning of the school is recalled. When the
parish was founded and incorporated in 1912, the parishioners
hope was to have a school. The first permanent building was
built and opened as a church in the fall of 1913 with the intention of opening a school on the second floor of the building.
In 1915, Fr. Farrel Patrick Reilly, founding pastor, invited the
Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa to staff the school and on
September 15, 1915, Sr. Aloysius Reilly (no relation to Fr. Reilly)
opened the doors
to 43 children who
were students in
grades one through
four. Sr. Aloysius
was principal and

was assisted by Sr.
Lucillus Howard.

school.) The last ninth grade class graduated in the spring of
1955 in anticipation of the four year Dominican High School
opening in Whitefish Bay.
By the middle 1950’s the school population had grown so that
every classroom was crowded, with 45-50 students per class
and some space in the basement being used for classrooms.
The parish undertook an ambitious fund-raising effort in the
fall of 1957 and by the fall of 1958 the north addition to the
school was ready for use. It provided for classrooms on the
second floor and a
gymnasium and stage
on the ground level.
The former gym was
transformed into a
multipurpose room and
lunch room, a kitchen
was built, and the
former parish hall that
also had a kitchen and
small stage was reconfigured into smaller
rooms for music, art,
nurse’s office, etc.

Since 1987, five lay persons have held the office of principal, presently occupied by Lauren Beckmann. Assisting the
principals, both religious and lay, have been hundreds of lay
teachers, female and male, who have not only maintained the
integrity of St. Robert School but have enhanced and enriched
its fine reputation in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
Athletics have always been an important part of the educational experience at St. Robert School. Until 1978, organized,
league football was part of the extracurricular program. Many
great teams were fielded over the years - many of them champions. In 1978, because of declining enrollment and increasing
costs, football was dropped.
Basketball has always been big at St. Robert. Initially both
basketball and football were boys only sports - and only in the
upper grades. For many years now, basketball has been offered to both boys and girls beginning in the middle grades. In

Angelique Allen Memorial Scholarship
In 2013, we sadly lost one of our own. St. Robert School mom Angelique Allen passed
away from breast cancer at the all-too-early age of 38. Angelique left behind three children, Amber (St. Robert Class of ‘11), Gabi (Seventh Grade), and Tre (Fourth Grade).
In honor of her memory, the St. Robert Home & School Association respectfully introduced the Angelique Allen Memorial Scholarship. The Angelique Allen Memorial Scholarship is funded annually by donations to the St. Robert Home & School Association,
with most of these donations made at The Emerald Auction. The Scholarship is intended to provide St. Robert families facing unexpected financial hardships with the peace
of mind in knowing that their education at St. Robert School can continue.
Please consider a donation.
“...I have received so much love, support and prayers on
my behalf that I could not help but feel blessed to be
a part of such a community. There were parents I did
not even know come to me and offer their assistance,
prayers and hugs. For this I am grateful... This was
family helping a family member with genuine love
coming straight from the heart...”
Angelique’s gracious words to the St. Robert school community
after a benefit dinner held on her behalf in 2011
Two are better than one, because they have good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.

AFTER DINNER
1 Sanibel Island Getaway
Spend seven days on Sanibel Island, Florida, which Barron’s once named to its top 10 list of places worldwide to own a vacation home. Your home for the week will be a two bedroom, two bath condo, for a
mutually agreeable date between June 2014 and June 2015. World famous for its pristine beaches — noted
especially by seashell gatherers for its wide, diverse and beautiful collection — and the spectacular wildlife
refuges that occupy most of the island, Sanibel will offer you an enormous amount of peace and quiet —
and no chain restaurants, save a single Dairy Queen. But who doesn’t want an ice cream cone after a hard
day of collecting seashells?

2 Pearl Bracelet and Necklace Set
The story of these Tahitian pearls begins almost 6,000 miles away in the Tuamotu-Gambier Archipelago. There
along the seabed lives the pinctada maxima oyster, which can grow to be as large as a foot in diameter.
These special oysters lend their rare deep color to the “black” pearls that they produce. Culturing pearls is
no simple endeavor, however. Ships risk storms, divers risk the depths, and skilled technicians monitor the
health of the oyster for no less than two years — the minimum time it takes one oyster to produce one pearl.
And even after all that work, all that waiting, when the diver returns to the surface with the meticulously
cared-for oyster, there’s absolutely no guarantee even a single pearl awaits. In other words, to create this
extraordinary necklace and bracelet set, this process had to succeed not just once, but time after time after
time. And so it did, resulting in an exquisite necklace and bracelet. (Even the necklace’s stainless steel clasp
is so beautifully made it can be worn in front as decorative or in back.) This truly is a treasure.

3 Your Own Private, Sommelier Selected Wine Cellar
Voice Items
Assembling a world-class wine cellar takes years of training, then years more of searching and slowly acquiring, wondering all the while: am I really making the right choice? Bid on this item and you definitely will
be making the right choice — and better yet, it won’t take you years, but a single night to acquire the wine
cellar of your dreams. Impressive cabernets and pinots highlight the collection, which also features chardonnays, sauvignon blancs and some true finds from around the world. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur
of many years’ standing or just getting started, this is an opportunity not to miss — and as an added bonus
this year, Ben Christenson of Waterford Wine is including a list of suggested food pairings to complement
the collection. Salut!

Win this item and you’ll enjoy a 3-bedroom/3-bath condo situated within easy walking distance of the lovely
beaches of Zihuatanejo, once the playground and beach resort for Aztec emperors. A courier system of

Zihuatanejo today is very relaxed during the daytime and peaceful at night, with a charming center city area
of narrow streets lined with stone or brick. Sights include a craft market with more than 200 vendors, an archaeological museum, and of course, the beautiful church, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (masses at 8 a.m.,
1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.). Restaurants abound and water sports, including fishing and scuba diving, are plentiful,
as are sea turtles. The regional airport (Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo) is serviced by major air carriers from both Milwaukee and Chicago. With very little rain (especially in spring), an average year-round temperature of 88 degrees
and an average sea temperature of 80 degrees, this is a dream destination for body and soul. (Details: condo
includes linens, and a washer-dryer. Dates to be mutually agreed-upon; December not available.)

10 Dinner and a Private Concert with Frank Almond*
*Item #10, Dinner and a Private Concert with Frank Almond, is not available for the Live Auction Chance.
St. Robert School Emerald Auction 2014
Voice Items
There are many fundraising auctions being held this spring, but very, very few anywhere will offer anything like
this historic opportunity. Milwaukee Symphony concertmaster and violinist Frank Almond will play a private
concert for 20 people at Katie and Mike Weber’s gracious home on the shores of Lake Michigan. Sharing the
spotlight with Frank will be the violin he’s honored to play, the “ex-Lipinski,” a famed Stradivarius violin that will
celebrate its 300th birthday next year, and recently made world headlines after its theft and recovery. Fewer
than 500 violins made by famed Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari survive today. Frank Almond holds the Charles
and Marie Caestecker Concertmaster Chair at the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. He returned to the MSO after holding positions as Concertmaster of the Rotterdam Philharmonic under Valery Gergiev, and Guest Concertmaster of the London Philharmonic under Kurt Masur. He holds two degrees from the Juilliard School, has held
several academic positions and is currently on the faculty at Northwestern University. In April 2013 he released
A Violin’s Life, a recording featuring works and composers directly associated with the “Lipinski” Stradivarius,
charting in the Billboard Top 10 in its first week of release. This evening will offer an introduction to Frank and
the violin through words and music, and guests will enjoy food, drinks and extraordinary views stretching all the
way to Port Washington -- assuming you can take your eyes away from an extraordinary artist making music
with an extraordinary work of art.

fighter in air-to-air combat. This is not an amusement park ride, but the real thing! You’ll start the day with

fighter pilots — for the thrill of a lifetime. With your hands on the controls you will engage in multiple “g-pulling” dogfights. Your flight will be recorded on video tape and reviewed in a post-flight debriefing — and then
you get to take the tape home to show (off) to your friends and family. (Details: flight certificate good until
April 2015. Winner responsible for travel to/from airport — Air Combat USA flies its “missions” out of airports
across the country, including just outside Chicago in June and September. Pilot should be no more than 6’6”
tall and/or 250 lbs. No pilot’s license or flying experience required, and there’s no real age limit, either. That
said, although they’ve taken kids up who are as young as 8, they prefer that pilots be at least teenagers.)

The 2014 Emerald Auction
Student Art Projec�
A favorite, if relatively recent, auction tradition has been the
annual student art project. It has taken many forms, ranging from individual self-portraits to last year’s collaborative
crucifixes. This year brings something entirely new.
The 2014 Emerald Auction student art activity arose from
multiple desires. First, we wanted to help students capture
the spirit of St. Robert School from their point of view. Since
“a picture is worth a thousand words,” we chose photography as our medium. That choice also meant students would
get to work seriously in school in a medium that they might
not have encountered in (or out of) art class before.
This was no small task, but fortunately, St. Robert School
is blessed with a treasure trove of talent and generosity!
This year’s committee was lucky enough to have parent and
professional photographer Patrick Manning donate his time,
talent and expertise. At school assemblies, Patrick spoke to
the students about how to best compose a photo and create
an interesting shot. He also discussed with the students
how to edit and refine their work, and how to catalog and
organize photography. Finally, he also introduced us to the
many possible photography finishing options.
Laurie Yingling, meanwhile, coordinated the use of the
school’s iPads, helped to catalog photos, and taught the
students how to use the new technology to the best of its
ability. And once again, Donna Bailey rearranged her month
of February and figured out a way to incorporate a new medium into the old curriculum.
Of course, none of these activities would be possible
without the help of a multitude of parent volunteers and our
thanks goes out to each of you! Lastly but never least, the
students rose to the challenge with great curiosity, cooperation, big smiles and budding ability. We are so proud of all of
them!
Thanks again to all involved. We hope you enjoy the view.

Gotham Dream Cars lets drivers grip the throttle of exotic speed machines such as the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, and Bentley Continental GT for a speed-filled adventure. During the Dream Car Sprint, you
will slip into a Ferrari or Lamborghini on a closed course (Miller Park) and whip more than 500-horsepower
drive three times around the autocross track with the aid of an instructor, before coming out of the third lap
on a straightaway to open the engine up to its full potential. Drivers conduct an orchestra of firing pistons and
camshafts for three laps before crossing the finish line and parking to the pianissimo of the softly purring V8
engine. Gotham Dream Cars snaps pictures of the sprint, so drivers are sent home with hands they will never
wash and a CD of images to parade before jealous coworkers and friends. Your adventure will take place on
Saturday, July 19, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. at Miller Park.
