MERCI BEAUCOUP! 

Wanted: Beaujolais 2012 volunteers  

  • Hot on the heels of a fantastic event that raised $30,000 for FASRI, we are beginning to plan for November 16, 2012. We have lots of opportunities for parents to get involved, create community, and help FASRI students get the best education possible.
  • This year, we want to strengthen the event further and spread the workload by having two co-chairs of the Beaujolais Committee. If you are interested being a co-chair, please contact Louise Jakobson in the Advancement Office at ljakobson@fasri.org. We can promise you a lot of fun, teamwork, and a great sense of achievement along the way.
  • If you want to be involved, but have less time to commit, there are many other areas in which you can help: auction, publicity and marketing, administrative tasks, decoration, and though it's several months away, helping on the day itself!
  • Thank you in advance. Contact Louise if you would like to get join us. The Beaujolais Festival brings FASRI together to support the school: join us! It's a great cause, and a great way to get involved. Merci.
