....... CCDS INFORMER
	Dear CCDS Families, Once again, the Golf Tournament and Dinner Auction was incredible. Words cannot express my appreciation to our talented, organized and spectacular co-chairs Kathy Justice, Melissa Miller and Tami Woods. Their leadership and your support raised $72,000 for the Day School in this difficult economic climate! The tables and decorations were beautiful thank to Caylee Pinsonneault, and having the silent auction in an outside tent again this year was another great idea. John Weimann shared his talent and expertise with his graphic design work on the invitations, tee sponsor signs and in so many other ways. Thank you John. Valerie Murline assumed the duties of treasure this year, and did a great job. You parents are awe-inspiring, and I treasured each and every one of you. Congratulations to everyone, and thank you to all our bidders and golfers!!! I am so proud of our Day School Community. There were several other highlights of the evening that deserve to be acknowledged. The classroom artwork was once again highly sought after. Where does Leslie Koshland get all her good ideas? This year’s Golden Ticket item was another winning idea! . And thank you to Gisele Renly for demonstrating some of the Smartboard’s capabilities. I know it contributed to the bottom line on Fund-an- Item. We raised enough money to put the Smartboards into the kindergarten and 2nd grade rooms! If you were unable to attend the evening and would like to contribute to the bottom line, it is not too late. Donations honoring the months of hard work that all those working on the 12th Annual Golf Tournament and Dinner Auction will be gratefully accepted – no amount is too small or too large. With Thanksgiving just ahead, don’t we have a lot to be thankful for again this year? I personally am thankful for the teachers and staff members I work with who not only do a superb job of teaching, but also care about and nurture our students. I share my days with loving, caring, supportive parents. The icing on the cake is spending time with these darling children – not just the little ones who so easily steal your hearts away, but also the older ones growing into the strong, fine adults they will become. I am truly blessed to be part of this diverse, loving, and constantly evolving group – a community in its finest sense, and I hope you feel that way too. Thank you. This Friday the 2nd grade parents are invited to the Friday coffee. Hope to see you there. Nancy Roberts Headmistress

	Dear Friends and Families of CCDS, On behalf of the golf and auction committee, I extend a heartfelt thank you to all who participated in our annual golf tournament and auction. As you know, this is the primary fundraiser for Christ Church Day School, and money raised last Friday goes directly to our operating budget. I am happy to report we came very close to reaching our goal, so if you were out-bid on anything and would still like to donate to the school, please contact Nancy. I wish to thank all the wonderful volunteers who brought not only their time and talent to the event, but their good humor, smart ideas, and sense of staying focused on the purpose of the work, namely supporting this school.
