History says that the Westerly Auction event is not to be missed, and this year is going to be no different! We are fortunate that auction co-chairs, Nicole Nguyen and Amy Venner-Hamdi have led the efforts this year! Their organization and management of the myriad of details surrounding an event like this is impeccable. Their countless hours of service have resulted in a well- attended event and hugely successful gift collection that will benefit our children. Their efforts have been supported by your item donations, and by many other volunteers, working in concert with the Advancement Office, Jessica Ngo, Director of Advancement, and Toni DiNapoli, Advancement Associate. All of your collective efforts have made this wonderful evening possible. This annual event is so important for the School on many levels. First, it allows our community members to celebrate all that is wonderful about Westerly and helps strengthen our community bonds. Second, your generous financial support assists our students and the programming that is so essential to their education. Thank you for your attendance and support. We couldn’t make it happen without you. Enjoy your evening!
