Audette Sophia, our peacock-themed entertainer

Reflections on the Spring Soirée

It’s not a formal Gala, though champagne did flow.
It’s not just a fundraiser, though the Annual Fund did grow.
It’s a party where tickets and an auction raise $ for the school,
where you aren’t judged by your jewelry or if your dance moves aren’t cool.


More than two hundred of us gathered on a crisp April night,
to discover a theater transformed by silks, mirrors and lights.
a peacock-feather’d nymph painted temples and skin
While we sipped meyer lemon cocktails and bid in the Auction.

Wow, what a night!

The evening raised more than $44,000 for Black Pine Circle (including more than $12,000 towards the anonymous donor's tuition assistance match)!  The dedication and participation of so many has clearly paid off!  And we voted with our computer mice in favor of having an online auction!
