PTSA Annual Dinner Dance Fundraiser 2010

PTSA events, scholarships, and school improvement are paid for by the money raised during our annual fundraising  dinner dance.


 


What a night!  On Saturday night the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) hosted the annual dinner dance.  We would like to extend a warm thank you to all of you who supported this event.  It was a very successful evening and, although we do not have the exact count as of yet, we feel confident to tell you that we have raised a total of approximately 9000 euro!!!  This is the most money ever raised during a dinner dance!
  Once again, we would like to give a big thank you to all of the volunteers who made the event possible.  Acquiring the donations, writing emails and articles, wrapping baskets, making the program book...there is a lot of hard work and dedication involved.  We are very fortunate to have a great group of parents and staff at our school that makes all of this possible.  It has been an interesting few months, but the work has been well worth the wonderful reward of raising all of this money for the students of AISR.



 
 
PTSA would also like to thank the AISR dinner dance DJ's, Ruud and his assistants Drew and Alexander.  Thank you Seref for providing your emcee service, you guided us smoothly through the evening.  We also want to say thank you to Melissa Beebe, who made sure the program book looked its best.  Graham and Justin, thank you for being our first ever live auctioneers.  It was a real treat to see you play the role of auctioneers and you managed to raise a lot of money for the school.     
Thank you to all of the people who, even though they could not attend the dinner dance, still purchased raffle tickets in support of the school.  The final, but very important, thank you is to all of you who attended the dinner dance.  Your generosity as both attendee and bidder, your enthusiasm, and your spirit are what made the evening a huge success.  Special congratulations to those of you who won the class auction baskets, staff auction items, and the grand raffle prizes.
