Dear Sutterville Family,
The Summer Splash Committee thanks YOU for making this event a huge success. Over 500 people attended the event, and some came as far away as Bay Area! This year we raised close to $6000. In addition, the grades received almost $1000 from food sales. Room 10 (Ms Loflin) earned the pizza party for selling the most tickets.
Because of your generous donation the current Summer Splash account balance is $11445.19 (after having expended $675 for last year's Phil Tulga assembly, $435.52 for the Eagle Scout garden project and $921.67 towards the purchase of the actual mobile computer cart). This money will go towards purchasing iPads. The PTA and Ms Aoun will complete the purchase.
Your contribution was matched by these Sponsors:
Natomas Racquet Club ($3,000) Wells Fargo ($500) UC Davis MIND Institute ($500) Children’s Choice Pediatric Dental Care ($500) Schools Credit Union ($100) Kronick, Moskowitz, Tiedemann and Girard, a Law Corporation ($250) Susan Harrold ($50), Lyon Real Estate Michael Casagrande DDS ($50), Dentist Larry and Marianne Wong ($155), slushies Sacramento Party Jumps (Thorpe Family): 18 ft Water Slide, a huge hit at the event, in‐kind donation Revolution Wines ($50 gift certificate)
We hope that this year’s success will inspire more businesses to join next year. Over 50 volunteers were indispensable for helping our event to run smoothly. We would like to especially thank:
Mr. Joe Rose, Manager of Natomas Racquet Club, for providing countless resources, miraculously appearing just when needed, Tireless Sam Brannan Middle School volunteers, Our own Sutterville 6th Grade volunteers Darby Kernan for directing the food court, and collecting raffle items Valeri Mihanovich for keeping track of volunteers, Catherine McCarty for running carnival games, Nancy Flores for printing advertising materials, Wendy Reynolds for making sure all money is in the bank, Carrie Bushman for keeping us out of legal troubles, Krysty Emery for PTA support, and listserv announcements Jeff Karlsen for the event website, and finding the way out of a cyber‐attack Ms. Carolyn Montgomery and Ms Lori Aoun for in‐ school marketing, Bill Westerfield for being the emcee voice of Summer Splash, and Kate Marusina for her steady leadership of the event.
