since the surgery. The event everyone worked so hard for finally arrived. The school's annual auction "Dancing For Our Stars" took place last night. The school's gym was transformed into a lovely gold and black room. The theme of the night "Dancing For Our Stars" was loosely based on the reality show of a similar name. Along with a fabulous band, 5 teachers and faculty members trained and danced with a local dance studio to raise money for the school and win the winning trophy. We auctioned off a position on the panel of judges. The teachers and their mentors danced away to cheers, applause and lots of laughter. Kudos to our wonderful faculty for being so enthusiastic and willing. And for being such good sports. The silent auctions and high bids were very successful and the Live Auction proved for more fun, laughter and dollars raised for our Stars, our children.
The food and drink were fabulous. The food theme of the night was Latin... fabulous appetizers and a an enormous paella pan (enough food for 200!) was wheeled out and was a fabulous show in itself. All the food was prepared by our own Chef Peter, Chef Dan and some hired out assistance. I understand dessert was amazing, but I never really eat at these kinds of events. I'm too busy socializing and surveying my silent auction items so that I am not outbid!
Turns out I wasn't and I got my goodies. (Wahoo!) I had a truly wonderful night and am so grateful to my co-chairs, the Parent Association's co-Presidents and to all my fabulous friends who not only stepped up to the plate, but went way above the call of duty especially since my capacity this year was so limited.
My most coveted treasure... I won it... Mine Mine Mine!!!! A large Kristen tote by Dooney and Bourke. Isn't she divine? The inside is lined in a pretty pale pink fabric. Pink and orange are one of my favorite color combinations.
Later we learned that we also won the Polo basket. A season's pass for one carload (up to 8 people) to Greenwich Polo along with a gift certificate to one of my favorite upsale take-out places, Garelick & Herbs, a bottle of wine and a blanket... can't promise the bottle will wait 'til Polo season begins!
Each child at the school also made a bracelet that was sold for $18. What a fun idea. I love how their bracelets look so wonderful together!
Excuse the picture quality... Rebecca forgot to turn the flash on! This was made for me 13 years ago by my mother's dressmaker. An off-white, cropped, raw silk jacket with a matching shift. The jacket covered the sling nicely. The white dress complimented (as best as possible!) the blue sling!
Ah, one can never have too many pearls now... can one?!
Here's a great picture! I am standing with my friend's husband who had almost the same exact surgery a week after I did! Same anesthesiologist and same surgeon! Isn't it fun!
It was rainy all day so my bag stayed home... I'm kinda scared to bring it to school... I feel guilty that I won The Coveted Bag! Well... not really! Bwahahaha!
