April 1, 2023 – SES Gala & Auction Event at The Player’s Club & Spa
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We are making plans for our annual Gala Auction on April 1, 2023. The following items are needed to help make the event a success. You will earn Volunteer Hours for Donations and for helping with the Gala!
- Business Donations – Do you know of businesses that would like to donate gift certificates, golf, vacation packages, services, or items for our Auction? Many businesses are willing to support St. Elizabeth Seton School, all you have to do is ask! Donations may be tax deductible. Please email Mrs. Groch for more information on business donations or sponsorships at groch@seseton.org.
- Wine and champagne – Any variety $15 or more in value
- Gift Cards – Restaurants, sports, retail stores, services, vacation packages – $20 or more in value
- Class Baskets – If you have not already heard from room parents regarding class baskets, you will soon be getting information. Each class contributes a basket for the silent auction, and these are always very popular items.
Veterans Service Projects – through Nov. 30
- NJHS is leading the collection of travel-sized hygiene or food items on behalf of the VA Clinic in Cape Coral. Please see attached flyer for items needed by grade.
- We are collecting to purchase wreaths for the graves of veterans being honored at a wreath laying ceremony at Marco Island Cemetery on December 17, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. Wreaths are $15 each. Please send in cash or a check to St. Elizabeth Seton (in an envelope marked Veteran Wreaths) to help purchase a wreath. SES students and families are invited to participate in the ceremony on Dec. 17 as well.
Please bring in items or wreath donation by Nov. 30. For questions regarding the food/hygiene item collection, please email Mrs. Tenbarge at btenbarge@seseton.org. For questions about purchasing wreaths, or attending the wreath laying ceremony, please email Mrs. Groch at groch@seseton.org.
