Spring Fling Success!

What an amazing feel-good experience.  Spring Fling 2013 was tons of fun and  raised over $10,500.00 to support programs for our children at Fern next year.  We exceeded expectations, increased ticket sales, cut operating costs and increased earnings over 25% from last year.  And to top it all off, we kicked-up our heels and had a great time!

Thank you to everyone that came out and to our dedicated Spring Fling team:  Liz Leason, Katrina Herrndorf, Joanne Winkelaar and Ruthanne Corman.  Big hugs and thanks to Jamie Cuthbert our awesome auctioneer – Shannon Wilson Craven for a fabulous fashion show and to our Mom and Dad models for looking so good!   Thank you DJ James and alienInFlux Sound System.   

We appreciate the support of:  our Grade 8 Grad Committee with the wine raffle, Jennifer Hanlon and Katrina Herrndorf for your gorgeous graphics, Bambi Alvia and our Communications team.  Thank you to the many parents that contributed to the classroom baskets and to Tracy Kett, Tanya Kakei and Adam Eizinas for helping out with the auctions.

None of this would have been possible without the support and generous contributions made by many local merchants.  Please support them in return by shopping local and keeping our Fern Community strong. 

It was truly a team effort.  I think we should have a Spring Fling every yearJ!

With sincere thanks,

Pamela
