Thanks to everyone who attended the Dinner and Silent Auction! What a great group of Line Dancers we have around school!

Special thanks to all our sponsors, item donors, teachers, staff and homeroom mothers. All of the items that were up for auction this year were incredible and were the main reason for our success. With over 200 live and silent auction items, there was something there for everyone.

We are also pleased to announce that we sold 180 tickets to the auction and we raised $37,000 at the auction alone! This does not count the generous donations from our sponsors and families. We hope to have the final total to you in the next newsletter.

Speaking of Sponsors – We want to take this opportunity to recognize those businesses that sponsored or donated services to the auction:
• Thomas P. Osbourne, CPA – Silver Sponsorship
• Bell & Roper, P.A. – Silver Sponsorship
• IKON Office Solutions, Inc. - For donating the printing and binding of 2008 Silent Auction Booklets
• M&S Signs for donating the street signs
• All Fired Up for donating the setting and transfer fees for the 2nd Grade Auction Item
• Document Technologies – For donating the poster board for the Silent Auction

Of course, none of this success would have been possible without the volunteers that came forward to help.
