Linn Attorney at Law 2327 N. Murray Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53211 (414) 273-5781 linn-law.com St. Robert School The Emerald Auction Saturday, March 15, 2014 The Italian Conference Center 631 E.

Reverend Dennis Dirkx, Pastor Mrs. Lauren Beckmann, Principal RSVP online at www.strobert.org 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 2 St. Robert School Emerald Auction 2014 Table of Contents Menu.................................................................................................... 4 Schedule for the Evening ..................................................................... 5 Sponsors.........................................................................................6 & 7 Emerald Auction Leadership.............................................................. 8 Auction Rules....................................................................................... 9 Checkout..............................................................................................11 St. Robert School History....................................................................12 SILENT AUCTION TABLES Emerald Club...................................................................................... 25 Sign-up Parties.................................................................................... 31 Teachers’ Treasures ............................................................................ 35 Class Acts........................................................................................... 41 Kids at Heart....................................................................................... 45 Wine and Dine.................................................................................... 55 Your Home.......................................................................................... 63 Ladies and Gentlemen....................................................................... 71 Let Me Entertain You.......................................................................... 85 Sports Zone........................................................................................ 95 AFTER DINNER Live Voice Auction Items ....................................................................19 St. Robert School Emerald Auction 2014 3 Menu for the Evening HORS D’OEUVRES Prepared and provided by A Bianchini Experience DINNER WINE This evening’s wine has been generously underwritten by Sharlene & Tim Byrne DINNER SALAD AND SIDES Fresh Mixed Greens Salad with Cucumber, Tomato, Shredded Carrots, Red Cabbage and Olives Fresh Italian Bread Angel Hair Pasta Nests Sautéed Vegetable Medley of Carrots, Broccoli and Yellow Zucchini ENTREE Chicken Scaloppine Eggplant Parmesan (vegetarian option) DESSERT Death by Chocolate Coffee and Tea DESIGNATED DRIVER PROGRAM The Home & School Association hopes that you have a great time at the auction and drink responsibly.

St. Robert School Emerald Auction 2014 11 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 grade teacher. She was assisted by Sr. Lucillus Howard. Each year a grade was added and in 1920 St. Robert School graduated its first eighth grade class. 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. In 1983, junior and The school popusenior kindergarten lation grew rapclasses were estabidly and soon more lished with one teacher Father Farrel Patrick Reilly with school children in front of St. Robert Church/School, on Atwater Road space was needed teaching both levels for the burgeoning (Capitol Drive) c. 1916. in a first floor area school enrollment. formed by combining In 1927 an addition two classrooms. was built that added two floors of classrooms and provided for a gymnasium in the basement (now Reilly Hall) and a small Today, St. Robert School has the same physical footprint as it library at the north end of the second floor (now the reading did in 1958 but the interior, although appearing the same, has nook in the Media Center).

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.

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.

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? Donated by Susie & Tom Popalisky............................................................................................. Value: $1,200 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. Donated by Rohr Jewelers........................................................................................................... Value: $1,875 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?

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.

Value: Priceless St. Robert School Emerald Auction 2014 39 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.
