Coming Soon: Annual Spring Non-Gala Gala
Unless this is your first year as a member of the Academy Hill family, you know that the Annual Spring Non-Gala Gala is the premier social event of the season! It is an opportunity for the adults among us to gather with their AHS friends for an evening of laughter, culminating in some friendly competition as we bid - both silently and live - on fabulous prizes.

If you are interested in helping with this year's event, please plan to join us at the Gala Committee Kick-off meeting on Wednesday, January 8 at 9:00a.

Please remember to save any holiday gifts that might be "just not quite right" for you, but might make fabulous raffle or auction prizes at the Gala. And be sure to collect any unopened bottles of wine or liquor at your holiday parties. We will collect prize donations after the holiday break.

And most importantly, SAVE THE DATE! The 2020 Non-Gala Gala is Thursday, April 16th! Details to come after the break, but see our 2020 Gala logo for clues. Thank you to Ms. Kelli for the creative design!
