Welcome To
Brookfield Academy’s 2012 Annual Dinner Auction
Welcome Parents, Staff, Alumni and Friends of Brookfield Academy,
CONEY ISLAND AT LUNA PARK
As we gather tonight to celebrate all the reasons we send our children to Brookfield Academy, we would like to take a moment to thank you for attending.
The Five Stars of character, truth, heritage, individuality and intellect are the
stepping stones that pave the way for all of our scholars from Level A to our
graduating seniors. Our annual dinner auction, consistently the largest volunteer-led fundraising event of the year, has proven to be a most successful venue
in supporting what our scholars and staff need to keep this mission alive and
well.
Our auction committee has pulled out all stops this year to bring you a night to
remember. It is because of the creativity and countless hours of support of this
committee that we stand here tonight and welcome you. We have had a ton of
fun this year! They are truly “the bee’s knees,” a special group of people that has
banded together to bring you tonight’s festivities.
We thank you for your support this evening and encourage you to give generously. Collectively we can reach our goal to raise money for program needs and
capital items. So buy those raffle tickets, play those games, raise your paddle
and bid high and bid often! You are in for a treat this evening so enjoy!
Let’s take a stroll down the BA Boardwalk and have some fun!!
