Dear Friends <strong>of</strong> Mercy,<br />

I am especially proud <strong>and</strong> excited to welcome you to <strong>the</strong> 30th Annual<br />

Mercy High School <strong>Auction</strong> tonight. Reaching such a l<strong>and</strong>mark – three decades<br />

<strong>of</strong> success <strong>and</strong> support by generations <strong>of</strong> Mercy parents <strong>and</strong> volunteers – is<br />

truly a remarkable achievement, <strong>and</strong> one which has been made possible<br />

by <strong>the</strong> unbelievable <strong>and</strong> continuing enthusiasm <strong>and</strong> plain old hard work<br />

<strong>of</strong> scores <strong>of</strong> Mercy parents <strong>and</strong> friends over <strong>the</strong> years. Thank you so very<br />

much for making this event possible by your support, <strong>and</strong> for helping us<br />

keep Mercy High School vibrant, healthy <strong>and</strong> growing as we continue to<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer such a rich <strong>and</strong> formative educational experience for our Mercy girls.<br />

Through your support, Mercy High School will continue <strong>of</strong>fering its excellent,<br />

Christ-centered, college preparatory program to as many deserving girls as<br />

possible.<br />

Although our 30th anniversary is a milestone <strong>of</strong> continuity, we are also<br />

marking it with a new <strong>and</strong> exciting change: for <strong>the</strong> first time ever, we are<br />

hosting <strong>the</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> in a new location, <strong>the</strong> Diamond Center at Rock Financial<br />

Showplace. This new location gives us more flexibility in designing an auction<br />

experience that we hope is better than ever <strong>and</strong> conducive to a successful<br />

event. A special thank-you to John Bowen, one <strong>of</strong> our Mercy parents, who<br />

made it possible for us to use this wonderful space.<br />

I also want to recognize <strong>and</strong> give thanks to all <strong>of</strong> you who have already<br />

contributed so much to <strong>the</strong> success <strong>of</strong> tonight’s event, whe<strong>the</strong>r by attending<br />

or sponsoring a gift-ga<strong>the</strong>ring party, making a contribution toward <strong>the</strong><br />

acquisition <strong>of</strong> an item, or finding attractive gifts to be auctioned. Your<br />

contributions, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>and</strong> now make all <strong>the</strong> difference for our Mercy girls, <strong>and</strong><br />

I appreciate every one <strong>of</strong> you.<br />

I ask you to join me in thanking this year’s <strong>Auction</strong> Chair, Theresa<br />

Saroki, as well as <strong>the</strong> Committee Chairs <strong>and</strong> Linda Conradi, our Special Events<br />

Coordinator for Mercy’s staff. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se hard workers, <strong>and</strong> so many more<br />

<strong>of</strong> you who donated your valuable time <strong>and</strong> talent, are responsible for<br />

organizing <strong>and</strong> preparing all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many details <strong>of</strong> tonight’s event.<br />

Of course, <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism <strong>and</strong> high quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mercy <strong>Auction</strong><br />

News Anchor Steve Garagiola, our unsurpassed Master <strong>of</strong> Ceremonies, <strong>and</strong><br />

Chair’s Welcome<br />

Dear Friends <strong>of</strong> Mercy,<br />

We are thrilled this year to welcome you to a new <strong>and</strong> exciting venue for<br />

Mercy High School’s 30th Annual <strong>Auction</strong>. For <strong>the</strong> first time ever, we are holding<br />

our largest parent-driven fundraiser at an <strong>of</strong>f-site location: <strong>the</strong> spacious <strong>and</strong> wellequipped<br />

Diamond Center at Rock Financial Showplace. We especially thank Mercy<br />

Dad John Bowen, whose efforts have made tonight’s new location become a reality.<br />

This event would not be possible with<strong>out</strong> <strong>the</strong> enormous effort <strong>and</strong> hard work <strong>of</strong><br />

our Mercy parent volunteers. It would also not be possible with<strong>out</strong> <strong>the</strong> generosity<br />

<strong>of</strong> many o<strong>the</strong>r parents <strong>and</strong> friends who sell tickets, attend <strong>the</strong> auction, <strong>and</strong> bid on<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>items</strong>. These efforts guarantee that Mercy High School will continue to be both<br />

a rigorous academic environment that <strong>of</strong>fers young women <strong>the</strong> highest-quality college<br />

preparatory education <strong>and</strong> a warm <strong>and</strong> welcoming community that provides<br />

each student with a lasting spiritual formation.<br />

This year’s new location at <strong>the</strong> Diamond Center makes it possible for us to organize<br />

<strong>the</strong> silent auction placements in a lay<strong>out</strong> that is more bidder-friendly, more spacious,<br />

<strong>and</strong> easier to negotiate. We hope you find this new format helpful <strong>and</strong> that<br />

your experience tonight is an enjoyable one. Please feel free to let us know what<br />

you think; we are always looking for ways to make <strong>the</strong> annual Mercy auction more<br />

successful.<br />

As auction chair, I have both enjoyed getting to know <strong>and</strong> work with so<br />

many dedicated <strong>and</strong> talented people – <strong>the</strong> many parents, alumnae <strong>and</strong> staff who<br />

have stepped forward to devote <strong>the</strong>ir time, effort, talents, <strong>and</strong> money to assist<br />

us in this endeavor <strong>of</strong> raising funds for Mercy. Thank you to all who have contributed<br />

– <strong>the</strong> committee chairs <strong>and</strong> members, parents <strong>and</strong> alumnae who hosted gift<br />

ga<strong>the</strong>ring parties, donors <strong>and</strong> Mercy staff. With<strong>out</strong> your help, <strong>the</strong>re would be no<br />

chance <strong>of</strong> pulling <strong>of</strong>f an event such as this.<br />

Our children are our treasure. The most important investment we can make<br />

is in <strong>the</strong>ir education <strong>and</strong> formation to become creative, productive, <strong>and</strong> ethical citizens<br />

<strong>and</strong> parents someday. This is even more so in tough economic times, because<br />

education is <strong>the</strong> one investment that will never lose its value. Thank you for joining<br />

us in supporting this event that will benefit <strong>the</strong> education <strong>of</strong> your daughters.<br />

Enjoy your time this evening <strong>and</strong> remember that in supporting <strong>the</strong> 30th Annual<br />

Mercy <strong>Auction</strong>, you are investing in <strong>the</strong> best education, a Mercy education.<br />
