NCCNS Planning Dinner & Auction For March 15

The Newtown Congregational Co-op Nursery School (NCCNS) will hold its annual dinner and silent auction at the Fireside Inn on Tuesday, March 15, beginning at 6 pm. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the preschool’s ongoing programs for 3- and 4-year-old children.

In addition to the many items that have generously been donated by the community, the event will feature four handmade quilts to be auctioned at the conclusion of the evening. The quilts were designed and assembled by Michele Payne, president of NCCNS, and are adorned with the handprints of the children in this year’s preschool classes. The quilts were hand stitched by many of the students’ parents.

Items up for auction on March 15 include a hand painted Newtown Tercentennial mirror; a “What Not To Wear” wardrobe consultation with Lani Lee of Newtown; a Pella contemporary sliding door and a Pella entry door with Sidelites; and gift certificates from local merchants and businesses.

The public is invited to attend. For more information on the auction, or for information on preschool availability, call the school at 426-1657 for additional information.
