To Our Alumni Brothers and Sisters,

The BTNAA is celebrating our 75th Anniversary this year.  For three quarters of a century, your Association has been the voice for generations of alumni beginning at the first meeting with Msgr. Wegner in the High School library in June of 1951.

As with many associations like ours, change has been inevitable as times and people change.  What has remained a constant with our Association has been the deep sense of family and fond memories of our "Home".  These strong connections are most felt when we gather every two years to celebrate our home, our friends, and the special positive impact that Boys Town has made on our lives.

I look forward to the next 75 years for our Association as we build on the strength of the past with the alumni of today and in the future.  We are most grateful for those who came before us and had the foresight and commitment to keep our Association vibrant and viable.  

Congratulations to the Boys Town National Alumni Association and to all alumni as we celebrate our 75th year of existance.  The future is bright and we remain committed to growing our Association for future generations of Alumni!

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.

As we continue transitioning to our new website, we have found that many email addresses are no longer valid.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
