Thank You!

My heart is full of gratitude for the amazing show of support on Saturday.  The week before was quite a challenge with low ticket sales, but then Saturday arrived and we could not be more thankful for all of you who attended and volunteered.  It takes a village to put on an event this size.  Thank you for coming early to setup in 90 degree heat, staying late to pack-up, for volunteering, for bidding - for making it a fun night!  We will let you know how much we raised soon.

Parent and professional photographer Jackie Pinto has once again taken beautiful photos of our children at recess.  The photos are available for a $20 donation.  Photos albums are on display below the auction board in the entry of school across from the giving tree/stairs.  If you see one you'd like to take home, pull it out and bring your $20 donation per photo upstairs to Lynda or Bonnie.  The albums will be on display until May 3rd. 

We are continuing to sell tickets for the Funderland private party on June 1^st, 5 – 8pm.  You can download the ticket form to pay by check or purchase your tickets online along with a few additional items in an online auction, view items here, the additional auction items will be available until May 3^rd, Funderland tickets will be available until May 31^st.

Custom Closet by Organize It

Custom Closet by Organize It

The winner will be able to choose between 6 different finishes for their closet. The customer will be able to either have one of Organize It's in-home estimators come out to their home and measure their closet and design a space to work for their needs or the customer may bring their measurements into our showroom and have a design done on the spot for their closet (there is no charge for either service). The customer will have $1000.00 to put toward their closet. So, when the design is done we quote both product and we quote installation separately. The winner will be able to have the closet installed as long the total cost for the design they choose and installation falls at $1000.00 or under. Now, the customer may also choose to install their closet themselves which we offer and the closet would be cut and prepped and ready for them to install.
