![]() Spring 2005Spring is Busy with Activity for St. Anthony's Students and Staff
Golf Outing at Oakmont Country ClubMark Twain once said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled." Mr. Twain obviously never had an opportunity to participate in the St. Anthony's annual Golf Outing at Oakmont Country Club. The 2005 golf outing held on April 18th was a tremendous success. The event was sold out this year, and over 120 golfers enjoyed the sunny 78 degree weather and the beautifully manicured greens and fairways of Oakmont Country Club. Golf was followed by an elegant dinner and the awarding of prizes for the tournament winners.As usual, our students were the highlight of the event. Kristin Wagoner entertained the golfers with her renditions on the piano, and David Bechtold showcased his successes as he told attendees more about his experiences with the program. Even those who entered this event with no prior knowledge of St. Anthony's left the event with a greater understanding of the wonderful life-changing programs that are being offered to our students. This event raised over $34,000 for the special children of St. Anthony's, due to the generosity and support of the participants. Thank you to all that participated, and we hope to see you again next year. If you or your group would be interested in golfing next year, please contact the St. Anthony's office at 412-882-1333.
Faith Formation at St. Anthony's

Justin and Deven were able to participate in religious classes inclusively at their school and worked with their families at home to prepare for this special day. St. Anthony's Throws a Strike with the Annual Bowl-A-Rama
This year, students were given the opportunity to solicit family members and friends to sponsor them at the bowling outing. Fifteen of our students got sponsors in the $74-$99 range and were eligible to bowl for free. Fourteen students got sponsors in the $100-$199 range and earned a $20 Loews movie card, and three students secured sponsors for over $200 and will earn a savings bond for their efforts. Congratulations to all of our students on a great job! It was a super day which raised over $4,500 for St. Anthony's. Thank you to our students, parents, volunteers and staff. The day would not have been possible without your help. We truly appreciate all of your efforts.

Inclusive Games
From the Executive Director...Gary Lasinski
One of the greatest assets in life, as I see it, is its true friendships. A friend is a valued possession.What is true of our personal lives is also true in our professional lives. We like to have our donors feel that there is a warmth of friendship that goes out from St. Anthony's with every success story accomplished. As the school year comes to a close, I am sure everyone can reflect on many positive moments, such as the golf tournament, the Bowl-A-Rama and, of course, the Inclusive Games which were all highly visible events that have promoted the mission of St. Anthony's. I offer you my thanks and grateful appreciation for the role you have played in enabling us to reach so many goals this past year. Your loyalty and confidence in St. Anthony School Programs has contributed greatly to our success. I truly hope the spring and summer will be pleasant seasons of work and relaxation for you and your family. With My Very Best Regards, Educating God's Special ChildrenTimes are financially difficult for most of us. Perhaps you've decided to cut corners, packing lunch instead of buying it or going out to eat less often.Times are difficult for St. Anthony's too. However, we don't have the option of cutting corners on our students' education. As you decide how to spend your hard-earned dollars, please remember the exceptional children at St. Anthony's. Your prayerful gift is appreciated more than you know! There are many ways to give:
