Fraser-Woods Dinner Dance

A Wonderful Success

To the Editor:

The Fraser-Woods School 9th Annual Auction Dinner Dance was a wonderful success. With the exemplary coordination of the members of the Parents Association and the generosity of donors as well as the patrons of this year’s auction, the school has raised funds not only for the its operating budget, but also for a new stage, staging equipment, instruments, and materials for the music department. Furthermore, funding is now available for the establishment of the school’s endowment fund. All this to continue the commitment and mission the founders of the school established 35 years ago. We want to first thank Kathy Kingston for presiding the auction. She set the tone for an exciting evening. We thank Scott and Laurie Champagne of 707 on Main and their staff for accommodating us with tremendous flexibility and generosity, year after year.
