8 Emerson in Bloom

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote that flowers “are always ﬁt presents.” In an essay about gifts and gift giving, he stated that flowers “are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.” While nature can have a stern countenance, flowers “look like the frolic and interference of love and beauty.”

Tonight, you give the gift of your support to Emerson School. Through your spirited bidding and unbridled enthusiasm, you help us to provide critical funds for our creative and engaging programs for our students. And, when you raise your paddle for financial aid, you ensure that we may support those students who might otherwise not benefit from an Emerson education.

This evening’s joyful event wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of many, many volunteers, as well as the leadership of our development team. And if I had the run of a flower shop and a nursery, I’d provide each and every one with fragrant and beautiful blossoms. I’d offer...

Violets ...... to our countless volunteers, faculty and staff for all that they do Hydrangeas ...... to Trish Heusel, for being our parent director Peonies ...... to the Pintos, Jen & Mark, for serving as honorary chairs Bellflowers ...... to Jason Beckerleg, for his wonderful graphic design Bachelor’s Buttons . . . to the Bertsches, Jan & Bob, for their generous gift to financial aid Amaryllises ...... to Patty Aldrich, in her first year as Special Events Associate Anemones ...... to Beth Anderson, our incredible Advancement Associate and Hyacinths ...... to Lorna Hildebrandt, Development Director extraordinaire!

Please be sure to thank all our volunteers and staff members for making tonight an incredible one. And as always - bid early, and bid often!
