Auction Results and More
1)The “Picture This” 2014 Annual Auction was a huge success! Thank you all!!! Every family participated: Donations to the class baskets and projects, participation in the raffles, cash and item donations, volunteers, attending the event – EVERYONE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS!!! We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your part in making this event a success! Thanks also go to co-chairs, Renee Crowder & Stacy Deadmond!

2) We are finalizing the details with the numbers, however, we are proud to share that we should end up +$94,000. CONGRATULATIONS!! We are looking forward to sharing the positive things to come with the proceeds from RAISE YOUR PADDLE! News in the next few weeks!

3) Invoices/donation receipts from this year’s event are being sent home in today’s backpack. These were generated from the event. If you made a class donation or participated in a raffle or party central, we also kept track of that information for your family fundraising account. Those reports will be generated at a later date. If you have questions regarding your statement, please contact Renee Crowder via fast direct.

4) If you purchased a party central item, certificates will be printed and sent home in a private envelope, the first week of December. ****Hornet Basketball Clinic will be Saturday, March 21, 1 – 4 p.m. at Ss. Peter and Paul School Gym****

5) Photo Booth Pictures: If you had pictures taken at the auction and would like to view them online, please send a fast direct message to Stacy Deadmond and she will get you the code. You can also purchase extra pictures too!

6) If you won one of our baskets you were probably peeling a lot of tape…for that we are sorry. The major issues are making the basket look aesthetically pleasing, but more than anything to keep everything secure when moving and transporting. Tissue paper and other filling items are so costly that it would be impossible for us to make the baskets. That’s why you will also find a wide assortment of recycled materials!!! Sooooo, now the basket room supplies are gone! If you have extra tissue paper or receive it with gifts during the holidays, please recycle! It can be used, it just needs to be clean. Will also need small boxes, small styrofoam blocks, etc. Send into the office!! Once again thanks for your patience!! Melanie Wylie and Karen Smith
