2009 Phonathon
Phonathon 2009 was held on Sunday, November 15 at
Sandhills Publishing in Lincoln. Thank you to Neumann
Alumni, Joel Woita, Pat Sullivan, Anita Bartek
Rockenbach, Renee Pearson Policky and Mark Bartek for
taking the time to come to Lincoln and make calls. A
special thanks to Fr. Townsend, Sr. Michelle and Theresa
Klein for helping with the event. Lastly thank you to
the Bishop Neumann National Honor Society members Kelly
Garagiola, Christina Albin, Antonia Rada, Jesse Sladky,
Pete Breunig, Ben Fisher, Dylan McGill, Holly Fujan,
Tessa Klein, Paula Byrd, Lexi Woita, Susan Brabec, Becky
Rezac and students Shanna Engel, Rosie Hardy and Natalie
Rexova. They did an outstanding job calling alumni. Way
to go Students!
The total of pledges for Sunday’s event is not yet
calculated, but an early mailing was sent out to Neumann
Alumni giving them a chance to give a gift ahead of
time. Over $12,000 has been received from that mailing
with more coming in every day.
Our Alumni are all over the world and are a very
important facet of our school. The appreciation for the
great education they received at Bishop Neumann is
reflected in our annual Phonathon totals. You would be
amazed at how many of our Bishop Neumann alumni stay
connected to our school in some way. If you have family
members coming home for the holidays that would like to
come and see the new additions to the school the alumni
office would be happy to give a tour. Just call Sheri
Meduna at Neumann to set up a time.

Reunion Night 2009
Reunion Night 2009 held on August 7, 2009 welcomed
family members, current and former faculty, and guests
to reminisce and rekindle past friendships. While we
honored the classes of 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984,
1989.1994, & 1999 we realize that affection for friends
made while attending Bishop Neumann is not limited to
one's class year. It was wonderful to see so many
alumni, beyond the honored classes, attend this year's
reunion, renewing ties to the school and friends from
other graduating classes. All the alumni in attendance
were able to flashback in time by enjoying a power point
presentation of pictures from their decade. Another big
hit was scrapbooks and yearbooks placed on the tables
reserved for their graduating class.
We are again
hoping for bigger and better next year as we again bring
to Wahoo the alumni of the 1990's. The night will also
be for those classes who are celebrating special
reunions. This year's classes will be those that end in
five and zero. Anyone from those classes who would like
more information about the evening, just send a note to
Neumann or email Alumni Director Sheri Meduna.
