A Note from the President

Hello!

Summer-fall-spring-winter-spring …it’s been a little confusing! And Thanksgiving is just around the corner! It’s not too soon to begin thinking about the UA Soiree Auction. The committee is busy at work on another great evening and there are a lot of ways for you to get into the fun… volunteer, donate some kind of experience to be auctioned, organize a table with fellow parents. It’s a night you really don't want to miss!


All my best,

Peggy Slater
