Dear Hollywood Hill parents,

Happy New Year!  We are looking forward to 2012 as our big Auction year and we need your help!  We will be holding an informational meeting next Thursday, January 12 at Village Wines at 6pm.  Are you good at procurement, or marketing?  Or do you have a flair for décor and design? Do you like to work with others for a fun and worthwhile cause?  There are over 8 different groups that will make up our Auction Committee and we would love to hear your ideas.  There really is something for everyone; the more the merrier!  Please consider joining the excitement and helping us make the Fall Auction a great success.  Please feel free to contact Lisa Shaughnessy (425-908-7799 mayahiga@aol.com) with any questions.

Thanks!

Lisa and Kim, VP Ways and Mean

Message from our PTA President:

As many of you know, our PTA decided several years ago to have an auction or similar big fundraising event every ther year. This school year was to be an auction year. However, due to a number of factors, the board has decided to postpone our auction until Fall of 2012.

In making this decision, we considered the fact that: we have a lot of big changes at the school this year with a new principal and new staff to settle in; we prefer a fall date to a spring date if at all possible; procurement of auction items is a lengthy process which has not yet begun; we want a dynamic auction committee with ample time to do their work; and finally, we need the Hollywood Hill Elementary community to identify how the PTA should spend the funds generated.

We have a wonderful chair in Nanette Bamesberger, and the whole board will be “on board” (no pun intended) to support her throughout this school year as she leads our auction committee to develop an outstanding auction plan. If you would like to join the auction committee, please contact me or Nanette to volunteer.

Thank you for your support,
Kirsten Senturia
