Register to Vote at ND

The Fairfield Registrar of Voters will be at Notre Dame on Wednesday, May 30 from 10 am -12 pm to register any students who are 18 (or will be 18 by Election Day, November 6). Students from any town can register -- you do not need to live in Fairfield.  Some form of ID is necessary to register (student id, license, etc.).  Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to vote in the upcoming Presidential election.

Come Walk for a Cure

Carrie Lautenslager '13 was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease in the fall of 2010 called FSGS. The disease causes scarring to the kidney's filtering system and often leads to kidney failure and transplant. Carrie is stable and her function is good for now, but many kids are not as lucky and it can change anytime. Please join us as we walk for a cure on May 20 at 9:30 am at Sherwood Island Park in Westport. You can also donate by clicking here and help in her family's efforts to support Nephcure Foundation.

Lancers Athletics Update   

Boys LAX Update
Seniors, Mike Esposito, Emerson Straniti, and Mike Foster, honored their parents Saturday by presenting each with a rose. Later, the team blazed their way to another win against Watertown by a score of 18-5 and securing a position in the State Tournament. The team has been building their momentum throughout the season by first making the SWC playoffs and now the State Tournament, which they have not done since 2004.
On Mother's Day, the Boy's Lax team made the day a special occasion for their most loyal fans. Instead of serving up passes and goals, they served their mother's sweets and treats. Mike Juan '14 served as greeter passing out balloons to each mom.
