GALA NEWS INFORMATION
UPDATE # 1
WEEK OF FEB 11-15th
Dear St Andrew Catholic School Families,
Here are some important reminders regarding the second
annual St Andrew School Gala that will be held on Friday May 3rd at
Rockwood's Event Center in Otsego. Please
refer to your Gala Parent Packet sent home a few weeks ago for detailed
information. Detailed info can also be found on the Home and School Board in
the cafeteria hallway AND on our event page: www.standrewgala.blogspot.com
1.
Tickets are on sale NOW. Based on the current
corporate and personal table sponsors that have already committed, we are over
1/3 sold!!! We anticipate that we will sell out very fast this year so make
sure you get your tickets early. We will open up ticket sales the Parish and
Elk River community March 1st. Please contact us if you are interested in a
corporate sponsorship.
2.
Tickets can be obtained by submitting your
payment to Karen Dunham. Tickets are $50.00 each and we do have the opportunity
for you to sponsor a school staff member for an additional $20.00. Forms of
payment for tickets will be cash or check only. Credit cards will be accepted
for auction items at the gala again this year.
3.
A RSVP ticket form will be sent home in the
Thursday envelope on Feb 21st and again in March and April. Please RETURN THE RSVP FORM WITH YOUR TICKET
PAYMENT to school and tickets will be sent home WITH YOUR CHILD unless you
indicate otherwise.
4.
We do ask, when possible, to include the names
of people in your party if purchasing multiple tickets and include an email so
that we may contact you with questions. This is VERY helpful when assigning bid
numbers for the auction event.
5.
IMPORTANT: Auction items are needed and we are
hoping to draw from some new resources this year. Please consider donating an item or reaching
out to your network on our behalf. There
are many items that can be put together that cost little to no money – ideas can
be found in the packet sent home & on the Home and School Bulletin Board.
If you have an idea or someone for us to contact, please let us know ASAP at standrewgala@gmail.com.
6.
CLASSROOM DONATIONS: Information regarding
classroom donation requests will be coming home in March. In short, we are
looking for items to make silent auction baskets related to cooking and baking
from PreK-2. We are looking for “entertainment” gift cards from grades 3-5.
Ideas for gift cards include movie tickets, bowling, restaurant, ice cream, rollerskating,
arcade, golf, recreation lessons, retail.
Any amount from $5 on up would be greatly appreciated. Please bring your
items to school anytime.
7.
We are also looking for donations towards a NEW
auction game – the WINE RAFFLE – please consider donating a bottle or two of
wine. Contact us at standrewgala@gmail.com.
8.
Do you have new IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS or FEEDBACK??
We would LOVE to hear from you – please contact Trish or Sarah at standrewgala@gmail.com or stop us in
the halls at school!!
PLEASE HELP US MAKE THIS NIGHT A GREAT SUCCESS!
