Happy Friday Friends,
We hope that you all enjoyed the long weekend and had a chance to do something fun. Having Monday off sure made this week pass quickly. The children in the Sunflower Room have been exploring our building and our neighborhood this week. They are preparing for taking the ART as they continue their study of our community and our surroundings. As Ms. Sarah M. states, the children are taking note of all the many things in our environment that we as adults often take for granted. When is the last time you stopped to smell the flowers and really look at the many interesting buildings, structures and artwork in our area? It is fascinating to see them through the eyes of a child.
We want to remind you that this Sunday we are hosting a Family Get Together at Steel Bender Brewyard from 3:00-5:00 p.m. Come enjoy the yummy food and drink and have some fun with other ACG families. We ask that each family attending brings either a bottle of wine or whiskey valued at $25.00 or more to donate for our wine and whiskey pull to be held at our Gala next month. Please see the attached flyer for details.
This year’s gala, “Leap Into the 20’s”, is a 1920s, prohibition-era theme, complete with speakeasy decor, era-specific attire (optional), DJ and live band, food provided by PopFizz catering, and beer and wine donated by local establishments. The gala will also feature a silent auction and a wine, whiskey and beer pull activity, with 100% of all net proceeds going toward tuition assistance and teacher development.
We are delighted to announce that as part of the event we will debut our first informational video, which will appear on our website as a prelude to our 50th anniversary celebration, and that Arthur Murray Dance Studio will entertain attendees with a professional ballroom dance show and provide a 1920s-era group dance lesson as well.
Our goal for this year’s gala is to raise $50,000, with 100% of the proceeds funding tuition assistance and teacher development.
You don’t want to miss this fabulous evening! Tickets are now available for purchase in the ACG office for $100 each (with a portion of the tickets being tax-deductible). Please contact the ACG office at (505) 764-2920 to purchase your tickets or to make a donation.
