Grad Nite Live/Crusader Christmas Boutique<br />
The 2013 Grad Nite Live/Crusader<br />
Christmas Boutique team<br />
would like to thank all the parents,<br />
families <strong>and</strong> friends who helped<br />
make our Crusader Christmas Boutique<br />
on December 1st the best ever.<br />
This is the Grad Nite Live’s largest<br />
fundraiser <strong>and</strong> preliminary numbers<br />
indicate it was our best year yet! We<br />
had over 500 people visit the boutique,<br />
which was held in our <strong>Faith</strong><br />
Student Center. We had 50 vendors<br />
selling their products <strong>and</strong> services<br />
<strong>and</strong> who donated wonderful raffle<br />
items to make this one of our best<br />
raffle fundraisers as well. In addition,<br />
our Crusader Christmas Bake<br />
sale <strong>and</strong> café doubled their sales<br />
this year! We could not have done<br />
this without the very generous donations<br />
of bake goods by the many<br />
parents <strong>and</strong> teachers at <strong>Faith</strong>. The<br />
bake sale team – Am<strong>and</strong>a Flangas,<br />
Kim Hansen <strong>and</strong> Michele Johnston –<br />
would also like to thank Khoury’s<br />
Mediterranean Restaurant, Rocco’s<br />
Pizza <strong>and</strong> Raina Gaddis with Rainy<br />
Cakes for their donations <strong>and</strong> support.<br />
We are truly blessed to have<br />
the support of the <strong>Faith</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong><br />
community!<br />
So, the stage is set for another<br />
great Grad Nite Live party for the<br />
graduating class of 2013. We will<br />
start those plans in <strong>January</strong>. Again,<br />
thank you for all your support.<br />
