As you read this edition of the Age Quod Agis magazine, perhaps you can reflect on ways to build bridges in your own life. This might be accomplished by working in your neighborhood with those less fortunate, by assisting in our food drive in the spring or at Christmas, or even by helping us in another Jesuit-sponsored activity. Perhaps too it might just mean building bridges right at home or with your extended family. Is there someone who needs your touch or a -HVXLW+LJK6FKRRO phone call or a note?

Plus I wanted one of the shirts.” The hunter green Food Drive t-shirts, designed by Shannon Mahoney ‘11 and based on the famous Made in Oregon sign, were given to students who donated at least seven dollars and one box of food. However, the ultimate prize for students was knowing that they helped make the holidays special for many families in the community. “The Food Drive helps so many people,” said Emily Glaser ‘12. “I have heard people talk about how it is extremely hard to watch all the commercials and gifts advertised during the holidays when they can barely afford to buy food. The Food Drive makes it possible for families to comfortably celebrate with gifts, food and love.” Every single can collected is of great importance and makes a tremendous difference to families in need.

The Aussie’s truly enjoy a very rich sporting history & culture. Australian athletes have excelled in a range of sports globally, and their government supported system has a lot to do with this success.

The asterisk adds: Show Up, Listen, Act, Reflect, Repeat. The theme represents a strong Ignatian tradition of "praxis," acted upon reflection, reflected upon action. We are asking the JVs to consider the effects of their year of service in both how they make an impact and how they are impacted. This edition of Focus will highlight some of the significant ways JVs and JV EnCorps members are making a difference for those with whom they serve. Our volunteers are important change-makers in the lives of those who experience marginaliza- Jeanne Haster tion and suffering. They are helping to build critical infrastructure and resources to increase the capacity of our partner agencies. They are engaging at-risk students and increasing academic performance. They are providing health care for those who otherwise would not be treated. And perhaps most significantly, our volunteers are creating social capital among the people they serve, instilling self-worth, dignity, care, concern, trust, empathy, and a sense of connection. Former JVs carry our four values of community, simple living, social and ecological justice, and spirituality in their hearts and are changing the world in all manner of ways.

    COPPER TURNS GGGOOOLLLDDD FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 2006 COPPER TURNS GOLD FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 2006 BOB JOHNSON A NOTE OF THANKS The “thank you” that I express on this page to everyone who helped with my project should come not only from me, but also from those who read or see something in these pages that helps them better understand the CVS story. One person’s current events have a way of turning into someone else’s history. If it turns out that you discover some of your own history here, I will feel very satisfied. I am no reporter, but I have tried to get the story right. If you spot any errors, please let me know. I started researching this story in 2005 and completed it in 2006. Over the course of the roughly 12 months, I interviewed people in person and by telephone and e-mail. Several people gave or lent me material in the form of documents or images. Much of what is recorded here is the direct product of the kindness of the following people: In-person interviews or conversations: Don and Lu (Welk) Barrows; Madeleine (Longpre) Betz; Ralph Centoni; Fr. Bill Dibb, S.J.; Fr. Tom Gallagher, S.J.; Del and Cecile (“Teak” Daoust) Hoover; Jeanne (Leboeuf) Nagy; Judy (Casey) Ryle; and Marge (Mannix) Spils. Don and Lu Barrows hosted a mini-CVS reunion in Kent, Washington. Fr. Tom Gallagher’s brother, the Rev. Dick Gallagher, received Graceann and me at his home for the interview with Fr. Tom. I especially appreciate the time Sister Ida Brasseur (Sister Mary Ida), SSA, shared with me last summer during a two-day visit to Victoria, BC, and the hospitality extended by Mickey (Grinzell) King and her husband Hal MacNaughten during that same visit.
