Fall Ball – Silent Auction Event SAVE THE DATE! Hello JCOS Community, We are in the midst of planning our first Fall Ball - Silent Auction Event to be held at Clements Community Center in Lakewood, CO on Friday, October 27th, 2017. This will be a Halloween social event for parents and staff. Dress up is encouraged! After receiving input from administration regarding the needs of our school, we decided all profits from this event will help grow and maintain our Enrichment Programs at JCOS. Our goal is to raise $5,000. I know several schools that raise upwards of $50,000 every year! This is possible. Our monetary success will be contingent upon the success of our silent auction. Research shows the more quality items that we have, the more successful our auction will be. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP! We need all artists, business owners, and crafts people to donate, and we need all parents to take a stack of solicitation letters and visit your favorite businesses! People are usually more than willing to donate. We just have to get the word out! Please see me or Aly Warren to drop off pledges from your business or services. Please see me to pick up solicitation letters. I will be at coffee and conversation each Friday until the end of school, as well as each day at pick up. Never at school? Email me. Can't start until summer? Email me then. And mark your calendar. It will be a screaming good time. You don't have to bid on item/s, you just have to have fun! Thank you in advance for your help in this effort! Janna Burnham [email protected] or call 678.372.8633
