From Our President, Jeff James

April 24, 2026

Jeff James, D'83, President

To Our Alumni Brothers and Sisters,


Your alumni board of directors met on Wednesday, April 22nd at our quarterly meeting.  Matt Valenzuela, '85, Vice President chaired the meeting in my absence due to the passing of my father.


The board, after much deliberation and consideration, made the decision to simplify the dues structure.  There will now only be two categories of dues, Lifetime Membership at $200 in a single payment, and Annual Membership at $20, down from $25.  Anyone who is currently paying on a lifetime membership through installments will continue to complete their payments until all are fully paid.  (Read More)

A Beautiful Day for a Picnic

July 12, 2026

Saturday, July 11th, saw alumni and their families converge on the picnic pavillion at the Boys Town lake for the 1st Biennial Founder's Birthday picnic.  Conceived by Rich Tapio, D'67, treasurer of the BTNAA, the picnic was voted on by the board and co-hosted with the Omaha Chapter and the Alumni Office.  The board felt that we should celebrate Father Flanagan's birthday and voted to make this a biennial event between our normal reunions held every other odd year.  


While more than 100 alumni and their families downloaded tickets for the event, the 40-50 people who actually attended were treated to a delicious picnic luncheon served by our local Hy-Vee grocery store.  The cost of the picnic was borne by the BTNAA and the Omaha Chapter.  Leftover food was taken to the Succesful Futures kitchen to be shared with the young alumni in that program.


Many thanks to Rich Tapio, D'67, John Soby, '95, Gail Page, Matt Valenzuela, '85, and Tony Jones, '88 for the tremendous work done to bring this event off.  Hats off to the Boys Town  Print Shop for the stunning banner and Boys Town's maintenance crew for framing and mounting it to welcome everyone.  The next Founder's Birthday Picnic is scheduled for July 8, 2028.

From the Secretary of the BTNAA

JULY 3, 2026

As we continue transitioning to our new website, we have found that many email addresses are no longer valid.  We need your help in updating your email and mailing addresses so that we can better communicate with you.  Electronic newsletters were sent out in May and a large number of alumni were unable to receive the email due to bad email addresses, full mailboxes, or no email addresses at all.  


Communicating with our alumni electronically increases the frequency and quality of communication and reduces the cost of mailing.  We ask for your help in updating the alumni directory.  


Simply click on the picture above and you will be taken to a page where you can update your contact information. 


You will be asked to logon to the website with your email address and password. If you have not accessed the website before, you will be asked to create a new password.  We thank you, in advance, for helping to keep the lines of communication open to all alumni as the BTNAA moves forward into the electronic age.  Contact the Secretary:  Email

Help Us Change Lives

The Boys Town Alumni Association (BTNAA) Scholarship Fund was established to provide financial aid to former Boys Town students who want to pursue higher education. Gender, race or age should never prevent an alumni member from pursuing higher education. It is our mission that if financial help pursuing post-secondary education means a better life, then that is a purpose we will attempt to fulfill.

Thoughts from Venerable Servant of God Father Edward J. Flanagan...

“Christian charity does not consist in the shedding of tears, or in mere preaching, but rather in the doing of that which we preach, and in the actual alleviation of the conditions that bring about those tears.”
