A Huge Success!
Aviation High School's annual auction was last Saturday Night. We had so much fun. I actually bid on something, and won. Now we'll be having a writers workshop in Lake Chelan! I also donated a gift package of Flight For Control books, with a speaking engagement. And that went too.

How successful is a "huge" success?
You decide...
A Record-Setting Night Saturday!
We did it! What
a fabulous evening of giving and sharing together in our support of
Aviation High School. We raised a tremendous amount of money to support
and enhance our school, well surpassing our past auctions. The grand
total came to $117,000 and the Fund-A-Need event by itself
raised nearly $34,000 to support our teams and programs. We thank our
generous donors; local businesses, families and wonderful supporters of
AHS who came out in force to show their support of our wonderful school.
It takes so many volunteers to pull off an event of this
magnitude - many parents and students who worked hard before and during
the event to create such a successful evening - thank you! A
very special note of thanks to Julie Zaballos, Kathy Silvernale,
Stephanie Hoag, Leslie Schumann, Keiko Sano, Pat/Laureen Kelly and
Todd/Laura Crooks for your dedication of time and expertise these last
couple of months. Together we made wonderful things happen!

Wow, I didn't realize there was a school like that up there. I am only familiar with the aviation-themed high school near in So Cal. I think this is fantastic. It would be great if there were more cities with schools like this. I applaud the work that Eagle Flight is doing, as an extracurricular class, building airplanes - that's a step in the right direction.

This is an awesome auction for an awesome cause for an awesome high school. I am so glad that you were able to win something in the auction for this cause. And yes, I am glad that they were recipients of a "Flight For Control" gift package - one of the greatest of gifts I have personally received to date. Kudos to you for supporting such a cause and we shall see you soon!
