2009 Auction Results Announced
|
| |
The results are in! We would like to thank all those families that attended this year's Auction at the Hop Meadow Country Club on November 7. The evening was a huge success and we are happy to report that we made more than $45,000 in net proceeds! The money will be going toward our Science Lab that will begin construction this summer. "Fund an Item" raised $3100.00 for additional Talcott Mountain Science classes for the elementary grades this academic year. We will update you on those scheduled classes.
Congratulations to all St. Mary's School Families on a job well done!
Believe it or not, we are already preparing for next year's Auction! Yes, you read that correctly! The Auction Co-Chairs are now recruiting for the following positions. The Auction Co-Chairs will do the big stuff, we just need some help with specialty items. So if you're a decorator, photographer, videographer, finder of corporate sponsors, public relations personality, or just a mom or dad that wants to help on this REALLY fun event, then there is a job for you! There is a detailed description for each below.
