MVL is blessed to have a great number of people in our family, all with a heart for Christian education. The Spirit of MVL events are designed to bring this family together in thanksgiving.
Thank you to all who came to the New Ulm Conference Center on November 17!
Recognition Reception
In honor of MVL’s 40th school year, we recognized and remembered all previous recipients of the Spirit of MVL award for their faithful service to MVL and to their Lord.
Attendees enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and the opportunity to mingle with previous recipients. Additionally, Prof. Keith Wessel (’83) gave a wonderful message about Christian education at MVL.
Fundraising Gala
The sixth annual Spirit of MVL Gala was another enjoyable event! The night included dinner and a live auction, with high-quality handmade items, special experiences, and much more.
Yet the main focus of the evening was raising funds for upgraded technology and for the MVL Partnership Fund. As keynote speakers, Grant Holzhueter (’04), Greg Holzhueter (’07), and Galen Holzhueter (’10) shared their “Top 10 Reasons to Support MVL.”
Spirit of MVL Award Recipients
A special committee selects each year’s recognition recipients based on nominations. Through the Spirit of MVL nomination form, you can nominate an individual, family, or company for consideration.
