More Than 3 Ds at Dellwood<br />
P eeringoutmywindowonthiswintryday,watching<br />
yet another snowfall blanket my yard with white<br />
crystals, I know I can’t be the only one on the block<br />
who’s looking forward to warm weather. As much as I<br />
love winter – snowmobiling, skating, icefishing, shoveling<br />
[?], slipping [?], freezing [?] – this year I am<br />
anticipating April with great eagerness, especially<br />
Saturday, April 2! That is when the <strong>Foundation</strong> will<br />
host a delectably fun-filled significant occasion. Our<br />
Dine, Donate…and Dance! event at Dellwood Hills<br />
Golf Club will be . . .<br />
j Delectable, as Dellwood’s distinguishedchefcreatesaculinarymasterpiece.<br />
It will also be . . .<br />
j Fun-filled, with John Evans and<br />
Dan Perry entertaining us with music<br />
Jenny Nadeau<br />
By JENNY NADEAU<br />
WBLAEF Vice President, Community Relations<br />
from all generations, including just the<br />
right tunesforthose wanting to cutthe<br />
rug or bust a move! And, most of all, it will be . . .<br />
j Significant, as our first fundraiser designated<br />
exclusively for our Legacy Endowment.<br />
As you may already know, the Legacy Endowment<br />
was established to support initiatives that foster a<br />
commitment to excellence in our schools. The endowmentwillenhancecurricularenrichment,thefinearts,<br />
technology, and student support. To this end, the<br />
WBLAEF Board of Directors has pledged to raise<br />
$700,000 by 2014. Our dream is that Dine, Donate…<br />
and Dance! will bring us closer to our goal, while educating<br />
our guests about who we are, what we do, and<br />
how they can partner with us in our legacy.<br />
With any luck, in two months blades of grass will be<br />
emerging where mountains of snow now linger, and<br />
the WBLAEF will be celebrating a successful fundraising<br />
event with countless friends of the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
Tickets may be obtained at the <strong>Foundation</strong> office or<br />
from members of the WBLAEF Board of Directors.<br />
