Regis Auction 2009 April 4, 2009 LIVE L1 This is Your Red Banner Day An opportunity like this comes around only once every four or five years, so carpe diem. The "Regis" school banner, which has adorned the outside facade of the 84th Street entrance of the building and proclaimed the name of our beloved school to the world, is up for auction. Much like our sons, she has endured faithfully the harsh winter snows and winds, blistering city sun, and traffic exhausts. It is now time for her to "graduate" to a more comfortable setting. Picture this banner on the wall in a college dorm room, or perhaps at your home in a family room or professionally framed for an office, or, dream gift, passed along to another son or grandson. Take her home on auction night and display her as a proud emblem of the Regis tradition. She has earned her place of honor. L2 Up, Up and Away!
