New School Year - Hope Auction

After an extra long summer, the School year is almost ready to start. As you might have heard, Hope is undergoing a bit of remodel, so we ended early and are starting late to accommodate the construction schedule. Maddie's first official day of school is Wednesday. She will be in 2nd grade. Meanwhile, Kenzie's first day will be on the 15th. She will be in P3. Both are super excited to start up school! Tomorrow we have the "Back to School BBQ" at SLHS, followed by orientation back at the school. We will be extra busy tomorrow as I get to give the "Welcome" message, and Steph will be talking about the Auction

So, speaking of Auction. Time to give the plug:

Steph has been hard at work with this year's auction. With our experience helping put on the SLHS auctions in 2005 and 2007, she decided to help make it happen in 2008 with Hope. This is a perfect job for her with her amazing organization skills. It is going to rock! Anyway, the event....It will be on Saturday, November 1st at the Hall at Fauntleroy. Her, Julia and the slew of great volunteers met today to get all the invitations stuffed and ready to be mailed. So, be on the lookout. However, if you dont get one, and are interested in attending, just give us a call, email, etc. Tickets are $50 and it is shaping up to be the best Hope Auction ever.

If attending wont work out, we are also looking for donations. From physical items, certificates, tickets, experiences, services, etc....anything will be accepted. Give us a call, or drop us an email and we will be happy to coordinate pickup of whatever you willing to donate.

Steph and I feel very blessed to have attended Hope and that is why we are passionate about giving back and helping out....and to make it be that special place for our kids. So, we welcome any help you might be willing to offer. Hope is on the verge of some great things and we appreciate all your support.
