It's Not Too Late... Spring Benefit Auction Items are Still Needed!

If you are planning to donate an auction item to the 2007 Spring Benefit: Passport to India, it's not too late. The deadline to be listed in the catalog has been extended to Wednesday, March 12, giving you the opportunity to donate immediately after returning from Spring Break. After March 12, contributions will be listed in the catalog addendum, which is distributed the night of the event. Catalogs will be mailed to all Benefit attendees in the middle of April.

We still need a variety of auction items, including gift certificates to restaurants, attractions, personal services and activities for kids. If you own a vacation home, have access to airline, sporting or concert tickets, have relationships with businesses that you frequent or if you have your own business, then you have exactly what we need to help make the event a success.

Don't forget that the fair market value of auction items donated will contribute to your gift to the 2006-07 Circle of Friends Annual Giving Campaign after the item sells at the auction. To donate an auction item, go to the Spring Benefit page and download the PDF version of the auction donor form. Or, contact Jay Denslow, Special Events Manager, in the Development Office at 404-841-3841 or e-mail him at jdenslow@aischool.org.

The 2007 Spring Benefit: Passport to India is on Saturday, April 28, at 6 p.m., at AIS. Tickets are $150 each. Invitations will be mailed to all families during Spring Break. The RSVP deadline is March 30 but reserve your seats early—the Benefit is typically a sold-out event.

For additional information, go to the Spring Benefit page.

Proceeds from the Spring Benefit support financial aid, faculty development, academic programs and the general operations of the school. We truly appreciate the current and future generosity of each supporter of the Spring Benefit.

Tuition Drawing Tickets Online

Tickets for entering the Spring Benefit Tuition Drawing are available online. You can print out the PDF, fill it out and bring it to the Development Office. A printed form will be included in the next Globetrotter.
