AUCTION 2016 Results & Wrap-Up
|
THANK YOU, MIRALOMA!
|
Miraloma did it again! What an amazing turnout on Saturday and what a party! The energy in the room was contagious and we are truly touched by the generosity clearly evident every time someone raised their paddle or wrote down their bidder number in support of Miraloma. It was inspiring to see the community band together to ensure our children have a top notch education. If you didn't see the email about our results, you can
read it here
- it looks like we might break another record!
Thanks to everyone who donated their time, effort, services, products and money to the auction. The list is long, but we would like to acknowledge the generous in-kind donation by Stellar Auctions for the professional auctioning services.
And an extra shout-out to our awesome bartending teachers who are always going above and beyond to make our school great.
This was truly a community effort - and what a community we have! We are honored to be a part of it.
