Dear Michael,

On behalf of the Springside School Parents' Association, I want to thank you for helping to create a wonderful and memorable 125th Birthday Party Celebration for us.

Your guidance and recommendations while planning the event helped to ensure that all of our procedures were defined, clear and concise. The event ran like clock work because of your counsel.

The auction was a smashing success! The homework, preparation and study that you did for the auction was very evident. You knew all 36-auction items in detail. Your explanations, and tidbits that you discovered while doing your preliminary research, helped to captivate the audience and inscented them to bid. More importantly, your enthusiasm, humor and timing kept the event lively, interactive and FUN!

Our world today is complex and filled with many challenges. Everyday, Springside School prepares the next generation of women to meet these challenges, promoting academic excellence for girls and young women in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. As an independent school, in addition to tuition, Springside depends on outside contributions to fund its programs. The Springside School Parents' Association annually hosts a fundraiser to help provide additional monetary support for the school. This year, this event helped to raise approximately $70,000! This is record-breaking revenue for a Parent Association fund raising event! All net proceeds from this exciting fundraiser will directly benefit our school. These dollars will support student scholarships, athletics and academic programs, and will benefit the education of many outstanding girls and young women.

You helped to make this happen! I cannot tell you what this wonderful and successful event means to the Springside community. The administration, faculty, and parents are bursting with pride. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your time, energy and support. All had a fantastic, enjoyable time!

Sincerely,

Cecile C. Mihalich and Leigh Filippini, Co-Chairs
