In conclusion . . .
DawgFest 2011 is budgeted to bring in $30,000. These funds go directly to the Education Fund--books, desks, paper, etc. We are not asking for the pledges as we have the past 3 years. We are asking for your participation in and promotion of this event. Invite your family, your friends, your neighbors and your former classmates to come to Aquin for an evening of fun and support of a system we all believe in. Tickets for Casino Night will be sold in advance and at the door and available for Casino Only and Casino with Buffet. If you volunteered via the emailed volunteer forms this summer, I will be getting in touch with you soon and I apologize for not getting in touch with you sooner. This summer went by WAY too fast!
