A Hearty Thanks
From the Development Desk

Wow! During the first week of school, I was met with enthusiastic people coming from every direction to help with Development this year. Thank you all!

There is much going on in Development, so these are highlights for the next few weeks:

"An Enlightened Evening" Fall Benefit & Auction is coming up. This event will only be successful with a high level of inner-community support. Please plan to be there, invite friends and see "An Enlightened Evening" below to find out how you can support the event.
We have a booth at South Coast Plaza's Festival of Children during September. To volunteer, please contact me at dogawa@waldorfschool.com.
The funding for the Campus Expansion and Development is coming together, but we still have a hill to climb. Two extremely generous families have collaborated to sponsor an $800,000 match -- so every dollar you give up to $800,000 is doubled. This is an incredible opportunity and WE MUST meet the challenge. If you have ever made a contribution to a previous capital campaign, you should have received a release letter. If you did not receive it, or are unsure of your status, please contact me at dogawa@waldorfschool.com.

I am off and running with a huge team of volunteer supporters behind me.There are too many of you to list, so I will simply say this....Thank you for giving of your time and thought to benefit the school. It is appreciated more than words can express. Remember, when you help Denise, you help the school. Keep it coming!

In gratitude,
Denise Ogawa

About the Event

Please RSVP before October 8!

You don't have to wait for the invitation to RSVP!

No more long lines when you arrive! We have streamlined our process allowing you to pre-register as an auction bidder.

If you purchase tickets for multiple guests, we want to know their names and contact info. This is so they won't have to register at the event and stand in line.

Why October 8? We need to confirm a head-count. Please do your best to not keep us guessing. If you are buying multiple tickets and don't know the name of your guests, we can add that information later.

PLEASE DONATE NOW!

we need your help!

Donations can come from your family, a business-affiliation, or even from a local business you frequent (such as a favorite restaurant). Our auction items from years past have beautifully represented our community's interests, talents, and wishes.

Here are the individual forms needed to both solicit auction items and to donate an item. If you'd rather submit your item online, you can do so HERE.
