Dear Fellow Parent or Guardian,

I am writing to ask for your help with the 2008 Auction. Everyone can procure something. I have my own personal reasons for stepping up to be Procurement Chair of this year’s event. My son, Aaron, is currently attending Morningside Academy. They have been able to celebrate his learning differences. He has been transformed to a child who now possesses self confidence, enjoys school and is working enthusiastically. I can't quite express what a gift this has been.
