ABOUT THE AVERY COONLEY SCHOOL
The Avery Coonley School is an independent, nondenominational school enrolling bright and academically
gifted boys and girls from age three through eighth
grade. Each year, students from 50 surrounding
communities attend the school, giving strong testimony
to the school’s widespread reputation for educational
excellence.
The school was founded in 1906 by Queene Ferry
(Mrs. Avery) Coonley, whose desire to offer an
alternative to traditional public institutions was inspired
by the educational philosophy of John Dewey and other
progressive thinkers of her day. This philosophy is
based on the concept that school should encourage a
child to become an enthusiastic participant in the
learning process. Mrs. Coonley began her first school in
a cottage on the Coonley Estate in Riverside, Illinois.
The present school facility was built in 1929. It received
listing on the National Register of Historic Places in
2007.
Reflecting the belief that education is a lifelong process,
the school seeks to instill a sense of joy and excitement
about learning at an early age. Hallmarks of an Avery
Coonley School education include small class size, an
accomplished and dedicated faculty, and a wide
spectrum of learning opportunities. The challenging
curriculum is designed to foster critical and creative
thinking, self-reliance, and concern for others.

Welcome
Dear Friends of the Avery Coonley School,
It is our pleasure and honor to welcome you to the
34th Annual Avery Coonley School Auction! Tonight
Floraison celebrates the transformational journeys
that we witness both in nature and in our school.
Mrs. Coonley valued the impact nature and natural
beauty can have on a child’s education. She also
recognized that, given the right circumstances,
children also grow, develop, and blossom in
amazing ways. This evening we celebrate and
support our beautiful school and the educational
experience and opportunities that it provides.
This incredible event is only possible because of the
hard work of countless dedicated and talented
volunteers, generous donors, remarkable administrators, faculty and staff, and of course you, our
guests. Working and giving together, we continue
the legacy of Queene Ferry Coonley to support our
students as they bloom into positive, productive and
respectful members of society.
We would like to give special recognition to this
year’s auction chairs, Deb McGarry and Barnali
Khuntia. Their leadership, hard work, and passion
have been the driving force behind this year’s
wonderful event. We thank you and the many
volunteers on your committees who have worked so
tirelessly to make tonight a success!
Thank you, our special guests, for supporting the
Avery Coonley School tonight. We hope you have a
wonderful evening!
With appreciation and best wishes,
Paul Druzinsky
Head of School
Patrick Fry
Chair, Board of Trustees

THANK YOU
with sincere appreciation
the donors and volunteers
on the following pages
are gratefully acknowledged
for generously supporting
floraison.
With Thanks
Welcome to Floraison!
After many hours of meeting, planning, wrapping,
writing, and shopping the 34th Annual Avery Coonley
School Auction is finally here. We have truly enjoyed
working on the auction with an exceptionally talented
and dedicated group of volunteers. These volunteers
gave their time, talent and energy to perfect tonight’s
festivities. We give you our most heartfelt thanks.
Without the philanthropic support of our donors, this
event would not be possible. We wish to recognize
the generosity of our parents, grandparents, alumni,
faculty, staff, friends and the business community for
each and every donation. Thank you for your
support.
Throughout the many months of planning, the
students of ACS were always in our minds and
provided us the motivation to make this event a
success. So please join us as we CELEBRATE
OUR CHILDREN’S BRIGHT AND LIMITLESS
FUTURES. As you think of your own favorite ACS
children, we encourage you to bid high and bid
often!
Merci!

VOLUNTEERS
Many volunteers provide assistance with tasks prior
to the Auction, are essential to set-up, and help
facilitate the activities the night of the event. Their
invaluable assistance is acknowledged in the
Auction Catalog Addendum.
ACS SUPPORT
All members of the administrative, support, and
facilities staff play an essential role in the planning
and presentation of the Auction. Special thanks for
extraordinary support of the Auction goes to Steven
Bosco as Director of Technology, Chris Portman as
Director of Communications, and Andrew
McCormick as Director of Maintenance and his staff
for their dedication. Special recognition is shared
with the members of the faculty, who in dedicated
service to the students, are the foundation of this
community. Most importantly, the students of ACS
bring intelligence, energy, and joy to ACS each day.
They are the inspiration for the Auction.
WITH HEARTFELT APPRECIATION FROM THE
OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT:
Tammy Bristol, Development Services Coordinator
Kathleen Flynn, Special Events Coordinator
Shannon Horn ’06, Alumni Relations Coordinator
Carolyn Johnson, Director of Development

Fleur De Lis Society
The Fleur de Lis Society is comprised of benefactors
who provide philanthropic support to the Auction at a
leadership level of $1,000 or more. The Society,
established in 1990, is critical to the fundraising success
of this event, which ultimately funds the annual
operating needs of the school. Sincere appreciation is
shared with all contributors to the Fleur de Lis Society.
This year we were excited to offer a Matching Challenge
as part of Fleur de Lis. Five families established a fund
of up to $25,000, which was used to enhance the gifts of
new donors as well as those who increased their level of
support from previous years. Donors stepped up to the
challenge and helped ACS secure the full $25,000 in
additional support!
This year's donations to Fleur de Lis, exceeding
$130,000, set an all-time high mark for Fleur de Lis
giving -- a wonderful testament to our school's
philanthropic spirit, particularly in a year faced with the
additional fundraising needs of our capital campaign.

TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF PURCHASES
The Internal Revenue Code requires the Avery Coonley
School to inform Auction patrons of the tax deductibility
of their Auction contributions. With respect to any
contribution to the Avery Coonley School or any
purchase made, if Auction patrons receive goods or
services, the contribution is deductible for federal income
tax purposes only to the extent that its value exceeds the
fair market value of the goods or services received.
For purposes of determining the tax deductibility for the
purchase of Auction items, the following is advised:


Dollar values listed in this catalog and its addendum
are as stated by the donor or are the Auction
committee’s good faith estimate of each item’s fair
market value.
If there is no stated dollar value to an item, the postauction statement from the school will include the
school’s good faith estimate of value of any item for
which the school is able to make such an estimate. If
no good faith estimate of value can reasonably be
made for an item, its fair market value is the price at
which it is sold.
The cost of raffle tickets is not tax deductible. Raffle
prizes that are (a) $600 or more and (b) at least 300
times the amount of the wager are considered taxable
income. The school is required to file a W2G tax form.
Forms will be distributed to raffle winners for whom tax
reporting is required on Auction night. Completion of the
form is required before the prizes can be released to the
winner.
A tax advisor should be consulted for further explanation
or advice as to the tax deductibility of contributions to the
