Wow, what a successful, fun Golf Tournament/Dinner
Auction CCDS had last Friday. Having an event with good
friends, sharing good times and good food organized by a
stellar team for the benefit of a great little school –well it is
hard to miss with that combination. So thank you to every-
one, but especially to our Committee Co-chairs, Jackie
Scotchmer, Scott Grimes, Tami Woods and Valerie Murline!
They did a fantastic job. I would also be remiss if I did not
mention three other people, Fabiola Mestre and Brenda
Partida, who provided the decorations for the evening,
and the man behind the scenes who designed the graphics for the website, and
the many signs and flyers, for the event, John Weimann.
Now the results you are all waiting for – you raised $94,000. I believe this total
represents the high-esteem CCDS is held in by current and alumni parents, the
parishioners and community at large. While money is important, one of the best
moments of the night was the standing ovation for the teachers! I know it touched
their hearts and once again, I felt such a sense of pride in our school because of
our fine faculty. CCDS is truly blessed in so many ways.
The total amount raised breaks down this way. The Fund-an-Item was ear-marked
for staff development and came in at $15,000, $67.000 covers the fund-raising line
item in the budget, and the remaining $12,000 will go towards replenishing the
quasi-endowment fund. Once again, thank you all. You are super!
