Dear Morningside Academy Community:
I would like to invite you to participate in procuring for Morningside Academy's largest fundraiser and fun event, the fifth annual Celebrate Morningside Gala Dinner & Auction. Don't miss out on the good feeling of being an active part of the community that supports your child's growth as a human being.
What we hope for is 100% participation at all levels in whatever form that you may have the time, effort, or energy to give. It may be as simple as having a great idea for an item and emailing me or helping put the auction committee in touch with the right person for an imaginative auction item.
For a start I would love it if everyone could brainstorm at the family dinner table ideas about the following:
- Great auction ideas for the large ticket items: ie. A trip to .....
- A really entertaining personality to emcee would be...
- A great raffle item would be ......
- An excellent sponsor for the auction would be....
- A great contact would be ....
Email it to me at: celebration@morningsideacademy.org with "auction" in the subject line.
In the process of making contact with each other, we all will benefit, but most of all we will help the students of Morningside Academy.
Thank you for helping. I look forward to getting to know you all. Join us next month at our new location, Expresso Vivace. We meet the third Friday of the month. See you all Oct. 17, 2008.
Sincerely,
Karen L. Voorhees
Procurement Chair
