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 />
