TO DO - More Ways to Support our Troops over Holiday
One of the greatest experiences as a BenGal is supporting the US Armed forces through performances and writing letters. Here is another great idea to continue to show our support, submitted by Alumni, Allison.
If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

PRAYER REQUEST
BenGal Alumni, Kimbraly ('03-'05), sends a special request for her Dad and family. Read on...
Hey All!!
I have a quick prayer request. My dad has been fighting cancer for the past seven years. He was first diagnosed with colon cancer. Then one year later it moved to his liver. He was five years out when he was diagnosed with abdominal cancer last November. Now they just found a cancerous tumor on the right side of his abdomen and the left side of his lung. He has been very strong through this with numerous chemo sessions, and I am not ready to lose him yet. I know that sounds selfish, but I don't know what I would do without my dad. I would just like everyone to pray for him, hoping that the cancer will leave his system this time. Also, please pray for my mother and the rest of my family, this is a very hard time for all of us. Thanks!
Kimbraly

Please read this special request from one of our Alumni members, Vicki ('04-'05). We wish you the best of luck in your quest!

Hello friends!
In 1991, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease, a type of blood cancer located in the body’s lymph node system. From the end of my 8th grade year throughout my freshmen year in high school, I underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments. In April 1992, I went in remission and have not had a re occurrence.

From the end of my 8th grade year throughout my freshmen year in high school, I underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments. In April 1992, I went in remission and have not had a re occurrence.
I feel grateful to be a survivor and I am looking for ways to help out others who were or may be in my situation in the future.
On September 29th, 2007, I, along with the Mount Notre Dame High School Dance teams, will be participating in the Light the Night Walk at Lakota West High School. This walk is to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
If you could help me raise money for this walk, I would be extremely appreciative. If you would like to write a check or pay cash, I will have an envelope in my mail drawer in the second floor faculty room, or you can click on this link and there is a secure area to donate with a credit card. You can choose any amount you wish.

Former BenGal Selected as Indiana Pacemate
Congratulations to former BenGal and ProBowl representative, Seazun, for being selected as a member of the 2007-2008 Indiana Pacemates!
Seazun is pictured in the top row on the far right.
This marks Seazun's third sports team as a professional dancer! A "triple threat" or a "three-peat" as some would say in the biz! Seazun cheered for the NFL Cincinnati Bengals and the NFL Indianapolis Colts. This will be her first time cheering for an NBA team. Congratulations, Seazun, and Good Luck!

HAPPENINGS - News from Allison and the MDX Reds Crew
Alumni and Reds Crew Director, Allison, reports in to the blog with new updates on the MDX Reds Crew - the Cheerleader Squad for the Cincinnati Reds! Allison's squad is the 1st MLB Cheerleading squad to be invited to visit a US Military base! Way to support our troops, ladies! Below are a few photos and excerpts from their new blog - http://mdxredscrew.mlblogs.com/ Thanks, Allison!
Maggie and I had the most amazing weekend out in Washington visiting the troops! The second we got off the plane, we headed to McChord Air Force Base. Colonel Yaktus greeted us and took us to a reception being held for the men and women being promoted. We talked to some wonderful people, who were all very excited about their promotions. We talked to one soldier who was getting ready to deploy in a few days, and we wish him all the best! The Colonel got us clearance to go out on the actual airfield and visit with soldiers on board a C-17 plane headed to Turkey to deliver supplies. The plane was HUGE, but both Maggie and I questioned the men as to where they sleep (it is a 14 hour flight). They told us they bring out sleeping bags and sleep on the ground! The most exciting part of this base visit was when I got to marshal out the plane as it headed for Turkey! I put on the orange vest and grabbed my orange batons, and with the help of an Air Force soldier named Matthew, I successfully got the plane moving! It was incredible to have that experience, and I hope the soldiers flying the plane enjoyed it as much as I did! Read More...
