The economy has severely impacted so many of the families that comprise our community. And yet, as so many of us struggled, our wonderful SAA community generously gave like never before. We’ve all heard the saying, “Those who can, should.” This year, those who can, did. Moreover, even those who really couldn’t, did anyway. The generosity of our community, financially and in spirit, is both amazing and humbling. We, all of us who are members of the Development Committee, are truly and sincerely touched by the outpouring of support from all sources. The Annual Giving Campaign was again exceptionally successful under the capable leadership of chairs Gaby and Danny Cosgrove, Luiza and Andrei Iancu, and Ellie and Fred Pourbaba. Even in this rough economy, we still enjoyed 98% parent participation and raised a total of $522,392. An additional $464,732 was raised from other fundraising programs, including the PTA’s Annual Event and Auction, Raise the Paddle, the Grandparents Israel Scholarship Dinner, tribute gifts and restricted contributions, many of which were earmarked for Tuition Assistance, resulting in total fundraising of $987,124. The 2010 Annual Event–Le Chic–was a beautiful evening, and everyone who attended had an amazing time. The SAA PTA Board acted together as co-chairs of the event, with PTA President Silvia Malamud and Directors Adriane Bergman, Elenor Gabay, Cici Hallegua, Afsaneh Illoulian, Julie Pardo, Sandy Shohed, Jessica Sneider and Leigh Strauss doing a magnificent job. The room was beautifully decorated, the food and drink flowed, and the music motivated everyone to dance. The Annual Event would not be complete without the hard work of our Auction Chairs Adeena Fitterman, Patricia Lininger, Neda Mehdizadeh and Shiva Mosch. Overall, net of expenses, the Annual Event and Auction raised approximately $170,000 including another successful Raise the Paddle for Tuition Assistance. Under the dynamic leadership of Etty and Claude Arnall and parent liaisons Janet Dardashty, Brenda Mehdyzadeh and Sandy Shohed, the SAA’s Grandparents Association again demonstrated its support for SAA students by organizing social and fundraising activities, including Grandparent’s Day and the Israel Trip Scholarship Dinner. The dinner, now in its second year, subsidized the 8th grade Israel trip and honored Lesley and Jeffrey Wolman. Chairs Etty Arnall and Julie Cohen, and co-chairs Sara Aftergood
and Julie Platt, did a spectacular job organizing this lovely event. The dinner raised in excess of $79,000, making the overall contribution from grandparents the largest in SAA’s history. The Headmaster’s Event was held at the lovely Beverly Hills home of Lilli and Moussa Mehdizadeh, parents of Haleh and James Mehdizadeh. The chairs, Tanaz Asherian, Ellie Khorsandi and Brenda Mehdizadeh, planned an exquisite evening with over 130 people in attendance. Our Alumni Council, co-chaired by SAA alumni Jodi Berman ’80 and Aaron Aftergood '94, enjoyed another great year. Highlights included an SAA College Night and several reunions, one of which took place in New York City and was hosted by SAA alumnus Rabbi Elliott Cosgrove ’85 of Park Avenue Synagogue in Manhattan. Fundraising from this group enjoyed growth again this year. It is of vital importance to keep our alumni in close touch with SAA and each other. It has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life serving as the chair for the Development Committee these past two years. With the support of SAA Chair Jeff Wolman, Headmaster Rabbi Laurence Scheindlin, Development Director Janet Rosenblum, and Sandra Oliva and Millie Wexler in the development office, as well as our Annual Giving Chairs, Major <strong>Gift</strong> Chairs and Grade Representatives, our committee was able to reach its ambitious goals. My deep and sincere appreciation to all.
