Redwood Day School

Evening Program
Welcome!
On behalf of the Redwood Day School Parents’ and Guardians’ Association, we welcome you to the 2011 Spring
Gala and Auction. The money raised tonight will be used to support vital programs at RDS such as supporting the
School’s financial aid budget, enhancing the assembly program, and agumenting professional development from
our amazingly talented faculty and staff.
This evening is the result of planning and hard work on behalf of so many people, some of whom started last
March! Not only has the auction team been hard at work but we owe a heart-felt thank you to our husbands
and children for picking up the slack and allowing us time to work. We want to take this opportunity to thank
Ray Marshall, Karen Van der Linden, Tracey Borst, Abigail Brown, Deborah Hamilton, Penny Fottrell, Jessie
Nakamura, Monica Lent, Andrea Roth, Dagmar Serota, Rachael Scholl, Michael Lonsdale, Mary Stallard, Ryan
Helton, Sarah Lehman, Cheryl Ting, Sarah Wachs, Angela Rundles and Katie Fagundes. We would also like to
thank the Claremont Staff and the merry bunch of volunteers from Crocker Highlands helping with table closing
and check out so that we could all enjoy the evening. Lastly, a special shout out to the Benhams and Butners for
graciously providing the wine, beer and soft drinks tonight.
This event would not have been possible without the generosity of you and our business community. Thank you
for your support. We would like to give special acknowledgement to our donors, many of whom are businesses in
our community, who gave their products and services generously to support our school. Please be sure to visit
their restaurants, shops and other establishments. When you do, tell them you are from Redwood Day School
and remember to thank them. You may end up finding a new favorite place to shop or eat and they will have
made a new customer. We all win!
