2 Welcome to Mayfair!
We are honored to be a part of this special event that brings together our amazing community of schools, parents, parishes and supporters. The incredible support Mayfair receives each year reminds us how blessed we are to be a part of the Billings Catholic Schools. Thank you to the countless volunteers and supporters who make this event possible.
This is a momentous year for BCS as the vision of a new school becomes a reality. Part of that vision is to complete the “Technology Transformation” Special Project. The project will ensure that every student has access to tools which will enhance their education and enable them to excel in their studies in a faith-centered environment. All the technology purchased from the special projects, including the iPads and Promethean Boards, will be transferred into the new school making this year’s project even more critical to our schools’ continued success.
Thank you again for your generous support and we hope you have a wonderful evening!
Sincerely, Brittney & Rod Souza
Brittney and Rod Souza 2016 Mayfair Chairs
3 Dear Friends,
Welcome to Mayfair 2016! While this is the 41st annual event, it is a year of new beginnings for the Billings Catholic Schools. After years of planning, we broke ground on our new K-8 school on April 21st. I am proud of the current and past Foundation and School Board members who helped make this possible. Thank you for your courage and perseverance.
I am most proud of our team at the Foundation. When the decision was made to build a new school and conduct a Capital Campaign, no additional staff was hired. Without question, our current staff added duties to their already packed workload. This team has pulled together on existing projects that will maintain vital school funding, while working on the Capital Campaign. Please take a moment to thank Lia, Nikki, and Keziah for a job well done!
We are not done fundraising for the new school. We need your help to raise the funds necessary to complete the project. Our tenacious Campaign Leadership Team, under the leadership of Rita Turley and Mike Heringer, is determined to open the doors of the new building without incurring debt.
There is no doubt we will get this done. We are part of a great organization, filled with great people who share the same mission, vision, and values. Thank you for your courage, your confidence, and your generosity. Enjoy your evening!
Sincerely, Janyce Haider
Billings Catholic Schools Foundation President
