What is the Spaghetti Dinner?

The Spring Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction, usually held in late March, is our major fundraiser of the year.  If it's a success, we are able to offer Camp GBLUES, a really unique opportunity, to all of our students at no additional cost for families.  The dinner is on a Saturday, with all-you-can eat pasta, salad, and breadsticks, as well as a spot of dessert.   The silent auction, with both handmade items and donations from local businesses, runs throughout the afternoon and evening, and brings in the most money that day. 

Wondering how you can help? 
(1) Come! Eat! Bid! Bring your friends and family. 
(2) Donate to the silent auction.  Each classroom donates items for a themed basket, and we'd love to have your handcrafted items.  If you run a small business or know someone who does and has something to contribute, we will happily accept those as well!  We will also sell some specialty baked goods (what do you have to show off?).
(3) Volunteer to help. 

For 2011:
* The dinner will be held on Saturday, March 26, from 5-8 pm
*Ms. Deibler, our music teacher, is organizing students and student teachers to provide musical entertainment through the evening.  Please contact her if you would like to take part.
*Auction:  We will also have items available for viewing and bidding at the school for the week prior to March 26th, to try to bring in some of the campus community and others who may not be able to attend.  Children love the excitement of the auction, and we're having a special table for them this year, with items targeted to the $3-$5 range.
