Amy Porter ‘14 Glee Club Returns to Rochester! NOTRE DAME CLUB OF ROCHESTER NEWSLETTER – FALL 2019 First and foremost, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping the ND Club of Rochester build such a strong and supportive community. It has been wonderful spending time with many of you throughout the year. We celebrated our 2018 Outstanding Club of the Year award and the many bonds we have formed within the ND-Rochester family at the club social in May. It is truly an honor and humbling experience to serve the alumni, family, and friends of Notre Dame in the Rochester community. 2019 has been an exciting year for the Club (hence the 9-page newsletter!). We held a wonderful UND Celebration with Dr. Ken Dye, our first-ever Project Mom Baby Shower, hosted an outstanding SSLP student, and relaxed at our club picnic and Red Wings outing. This fall, we look forward to some exciting events, including our third annual Senior Luncheon, Hesburgh Lecture with Professor O’Rourke, ND Glee Club concert, women’s fall shared read discussion, and ND-Navy game watch! More information on these and other events can be found in this newsletter and on our website. We hope you’ll join us for some (or all!) of these events.

This 2-day conference, to be held April 3 – 5, 2020 on Notre Dame’s campus, will focus on the theme “STEM as a force for good.” Speakers will address issues of curriculum, instruction, and assessment at the intersection of problem- based learning and authentic, relevant contexts as a means for generating agency among STEM learners. The Club sponsors one teacher in the Rochester area to attend this conference, and will provide conference fees and a stipend ($500) for travel/accommodations. The selected teacher must provide their own transportation. Additional information about the conference, including methods and schedule, can be found here under Broader Impacts. Please click here to access the application and be sure to submit completed applications by November 1. 3rd Annual Senior Luncheon The Club is pleased to announce its third annual Senior Luncheon which will be held on Wednesday, October 16th at 12:00 pm at Penfield Country Club. All alumni and friends 50 and older are invited to attend and are welcome to bring guests. The theme for this year's luncheon will be "Field of Dreams."

Please bring exact cash or check, payable to the ND Club of Rochester. RSVP is required to Ed Nowak at [email protected] or (585) 377-1837 by 6:00 pm on Monday, October 14. We hope you can make it! ND Women’s Fall Shared Read & Discussion Calling all ND-Rochester ladies! Join the ND Club of Rochester as we participate in the national Notre Dame Women Connect's ninth Shared Reading Experience.

Hesburgh Lecture The Club is thrilled to welcome Professor James O'Rourke as our 2019 Hesburgh Lecturer. We hope you will join us at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, October 23rd at St. John Fisher College for Professor O'Rourke's lecture, entitled Intercultural Communication. Whether you are operating a global business or working within a highly diverse North American workplace, effective intercultural communication skills are essential. Going beyond a look at customs and cultural stereotypes, we'll dig into the concepts and research that help explain why we function the way we do. This lecture will examine intercultural situations to see these theories at work. Along with developing a self-awareness of our individual communication behavior, we will explore ways you can become a more effective intercultural communicator. We can expand your awareness of those skills as we examine the challenging ethical issues sometimes raised in intercultural communication. Click here for more information. http://rochester.undclub.org Page 2 of 9 NOTRE DAME CLUB OF ROCHESTER NEWSLETTER – FALL 2019 Kits for Kids The ND Senior Alumni sponsor a service initiative for ND clubs nationwide called “Kits for Kids”. The premise is simple: Every year, millions of children in developing countries die of preventable and treatable conditions. Many live too far away to easily reach their nearest clinic, and this lack of immediate basic care can quickly transform a very simple medical problem or injury into a life-threatening situation. The ND Club of Rochester is implementing the Kits for Kids program again this holiday season. We will be purchasing the bags and need your help to fill them. If you are willing to fill a kit(s), please fill out this form to indicate the number of kits you will supply and when you can drop off the supplies. Click here to view the supply list. Thanks for your support of this wonderful initiative! Club Bestows Annual Award on Amy Porter ‘14 By Terry Biracree ‘85 It was my distinct pleasure to bestow the club’s annual award on Amy Porter, ’14 at this year’s Universal Notre Dame Celebration at the Oak Hill Country Club on June 20. The award is given in recognition of spirited self-giving to the club and the Rochester community. Amy was selected for this honor because she so enthusiastically stands for Notre Dame and represents the ND Club of Rochester in numerous ways. Her dedication won the club recognition at the annual Leadership conference at ND in April when the Alumni Association recognized the ND Club of Rochester as the Outstanding Club of the Year in our size category. Last fall, she accepted a position with the Alumni Association’s Board of Directors as the Young Alumni Director for our region. Amy began her affiliation with the club when she was an undergraduate at ND and served as the club’s On-Campus Liaison. In this capacity, she organized opportunities for current Rochester students to visit the retired Father Hesburgh. After graduating from ND in 2014 with a degree in Chemical Engineering, she returned to Rochester and took a job as a Research Engineer at Xerox. At this time, she served as the Young Alumni Coordinator and volunteered to become the Coordinator for the Blessed Sacrament Supper Program. Three and a half years ago, she stepped into the role as our Club President, becoming one of the youngest club presidents in the Alumni Association. Under her leadership, the club has experienced a renaissance: She’s grown the club membership every year for the last 3 years. Today, our current level of membership is over 160 dues-paying members. She’s brought the club to the 20th century – instituting on-line sign-ups for the Blessed Sacrament program, updating social media, and configuring on-line credit card payments via the club website.

  • Dinolfo Announces Name for Zoo's New Snow Leopard Cub: Silver, in Honor of Silver Family
    Tuesday, July 23, 2019 DINOLFO ANNOUNCES NAME FOR ZOO’S NEW SNOW LEOPARD CUB: SILVER, IN HONOR OF SILVER FAMILY Surprise announcement made at Seneca Park Zoo Night at Frontier Field; ‘Silver’ to make public debut at Zoo later this summer County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo today announced that the Zoo’s new snow leopard cub has been named Silver, in honor of the Silver family, who have operated the Rochester Red Wings since 1957. The name was revealed during a surprise announcement during Seneca Park Zoo Night at Frontier Field, prior to the Rochester Red Wings’ game against the Norfolk Tides. “I am so proud to announce that our Zoo’s adorable new snow leopard cub will be named ‘Silver’, in honor of one of Monroe County’s most beloved families,” said Dinolfo. “From Morrie and Anna to Naomi, the Silver family name is synonymous with excellence, kindness, and community engagement. In short, the Silvers are as much a part of Rochester as the Red Wings themselves, and there is no question that our new cub will have big ‘paws’ to fill with such a meaningful name. I thank Naomi, the Silvers, and the entire Red Wings organization for their contributions to our community and I welcome our residents to visit both our Seneca Park Zoo and Frontier Field this summer!” In 1957, Silver family patriarch Morrie Silver helped to save the future of baseball in Rochester, launching what became known as the “72 Day Miracle” that led to the founding of Rochester Community Baseball. Today, the Red Wings are the longest-running franchise in minor league sports and one of the few continuously community-owned professional teams in the country.

  • City of Rochester Name: Raul Salinas Downtown Name: Center City District County: Monroe
    Rochester, NY Submission to the Downtown Revitalization Initiative 6/10/2016 Executive Summary The revitalization of downtown Rochester must engage and retain young adults as residents who want to live and work in cities. A recent Urban Land Institute and National League of Cities supported a study of downtown Rochester, NY identified an immediate need to re-activate the Genesee Riverfront and Main Street to target diverse young adults and bring vibrancy to the fronts of downtown buildings. Critical to re-activating Rochester’s downtown is giving the job to rebuild it to the people who need the work the most. Thanks to the efforts of the Governor’s Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force and the local Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI), the anti-poverty program pilot area is adjacent to Rochester’s downtown district. The program will provide employment supports (e.g. daycare and transportation) to stabilize families and connect them to Rochester’s downtown success. Rochester’s downtown district, the Center City District (CCD), is experiencing dramatic residential growth. Developers partnered with government to create new living spaces within iconic buildings. Despite the 1.7 million people visiting the district annually and record investment in downtown growing high tech firms, retail and walkable amenities do not support 18 hours of activity. Foot traffic by young adults connecting downtown living and work will bridge the gap between living and work that exists in downtown Rochester, NY. Young adults are drawn to an iconic city and will create the demand for first floor retail that will give jobs and stabilize neighborhoods.

  • The Top Ten Largest Baseball Game Crowds at Frontier Field by Paul Bielewicz
    The Top Ten Largest Baseball Game Crowds at Frontier Field By Paul Bielewicz Orioles exhibition games. Clever promotions. Well-known players on rehab assignments. Opening day. These are all among the things that bring Rochester baseball fans out in droves to beautiful Frontier Field. This article counts down the top ten regular season crowds in the 21-season history of Frontier Field—all over 13,000 fans—and provides insight on what made each of these games noteworthy enough to draw such large crowds. #10 Friday, June 15, 2007: 13,114 Sometimes the promise of baseball on a summer’s night all it takes to draw a huge crowd to the ballpark. Warm early summer weather and post-game fireworks didn’t hurt either, and were enough to draw a standing-room-only crowd of 13,114 for the game against the Louisville Bats, the sixth largest regular season baseball crowd in the 11-year history of the ballpark to that point. #9 Saturday, September 05, 2009: 13,120 The season finale is often enough to draw a large crowd. A warm late summer Saturday evening on September 5, 2009 witnessed 13,120 pass through the turnstiles at Frontier to see baseball one more time before the long offseason. The game did not go well—the Wings lost 10-0 to Scranton Wilkes- Barre—but what was much more stirring for the sellout crowd was seeing Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio throw out the ceremonial first pitch, reprising his opening day performance. DiPonzio, who had been shot in the head while on duty earlier that year, had made a steady and significant recovery, and still serves as an inspiration to many.
