Donation Solicitation Letter

Volunteers Needed!

Can you lend a hand? A donation of your time is equally valuable to the success of the auction! Volunteers are needed for packaging silent auction items at school on weekends beginning on January 23. Volunteers will also be needed to set up and decorate at the hotel on Friday, February 19 and to provide assistance during the event on February 20 including greeting and registering guests, supervising the silent auction tables, and checking out guests at the end of the evening. Contact Shelley Pavela, Auction Volunteer Coordinator, at sfpavela@gmail.com if you are able to help us. Shelley or the appropriate Auction committee chair will also be contacting those who have already volunteered to help in the next week. Thanks for your support!

IT'S RAFFLE TIME!

GolfBanner

Every year, in conjunction with our annual auction/dinner fund-raiser, our students hold a raffle. This year's event, Motown 'til Midnight, will be held on February 20. The proceeds of this raffle fund NDB projects and scholarships. Each student is asked to sell a minimum of two books of tickets which is outlined in the student/parent handbook.

Like last year, tickets are $10 a piece or $100 for a book of tickets (12 tickets). The winning tickets will be pulled the night of the auction (you do not need to be present to win). The student who sells the First Place winning ticket will also get a prize.

RAFFLE PRIZES:
First Place Prize: $15,000
Second Place Prize: $3,000
Third Place Prize: $1,000

Your daughter will be receiving raffle instructions and her two ticket books on Friday, January 29 during her advisory class. Incentive awards will be given during the next three weeks to all students who turn in ticket sales.

Additional tickets can be obtained in the Events / Development Department through Denise Severi or Julie Clemens, or by contacting Ronele McCurdy or Liza Vernazza, Class of 2010 parents and Raffle Committee Co-Chairs.

We appreciate your support in helping us make this year's raffle a big success.

Fund-a-Need

The fund-a-need auction item will be designated for classroom painting! The fund-a-need program offers all potential donors the opportunity to bid at various amounts. We will produce a video to showcase before and after classrooms (thanks to the Levine brothers!). We will be offering one-year naming opportunities for the classroom sponsorships, and groups of bidders can join together. More information will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
