We would like to thank the community and everyone who came to our Silent Auction and 60th Birthday Party this past weekend (May 24). We had lots of fun and raised some essential funding for Jefferson Cooperative Nursery School! It was great to see all the friends, neighbors, parents, and former teachers and students of the nursery school. Magic John the Magician amazed the kids (and grown-ups) with his magic show, and artist BobKat drew caricatures non-stop the whole time! We are so grateful to these two gentlemen (aka John Anderson and Bob Anderson) for adding their talents to our event.
Personally, I was blown away by the generosity of our guests as they bid, and bid, and bid again on the many items we had to offer. In just one short afternoon, these kind folks contributed a great amount to our school, enabling us to move forward into the next school year with confidence. We extend our thanks to each and every one of our guests.
A big thank you goes to Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church for hosting the party in their lovely building. Our sincere gratitude goes out to the church for their 60 years of generous support of the nursery school. Thank you especially to Reverend Peter C. Smith, Reverend Traci M. Smith, Linda Rumon, Grace Crone, David Roberson, and Bill Slone for taking such good care of us here at the church, which has been our home since 1948.
We would like to thank the following financial contributors without whom our event could not have happened:
The Indian Village Women’s Garden Club, The Historic Indian Village Association, Bob VanDeventer and Susan Nye, Karen and Ken Cherven, Becky Dudash and John Canzano, Joan and Nat Morris, Fay and Rolland O’Hare, Phil and Shannon MacVean, Patti Little and Mark Lezotte, M. Elizabeth Bunn, Sandra H. Smith, and Harbortown Market.
We also wish to thank the following generous contributors to our party: Jacklyn & Cliff Kaye, Renita Clark, Michelle Potas, Anne Riha, Keith Martin, Betty and Larry Roberts, Bettermade Snack Foods, Sweetheart Bakery, Costco, Target, Dollar Daze, PizzaPapalis Rivertown, Indian Village Market, Jets Pizza Harbortown, Staples Detroit, and M-Pressions Marketing, LLC.
Thank you to the members of our Silent Auction and Party Planning Committee who donated countless hours and resources to get this event off the ground: Renita Clark, Jacklyn Kaye, our wonderful teacher, Michelle Potas, and yours truly, Jackie Hoats Shields. It was hard work for this small group, but it was worth it.
Finally, we are very grateful to the generous donors of the goods and services offered in our auction:
