Thank you for joining us to celebrate Creative Children Center’s 20th anniversary. Over the past 20 years, CCC has helped hundreds of children find their voice. CCC be- lieves in children and gives them the opportunity to succeed. Each child’s contributions and ideas are valued and nurtured. This philosophy encourages the students at CCC to be confident in their interactions with each other, teachers, and adults. Children learn to ex- press themselves in a constructive manner and work together as a team. My family has only been a part of the CCC community for 3 years. We continue to learn skills we can use for the rest of our lives. My son and daughter blossom in the environment at CCC. My cautious son learned to take risks and now believes the world will not end if he is wrong. Whether it’s answering a math provocation, reading, or expressing an idea, he is no longer timid when talking in front of a group of people. How many of us adults can say that! My daughter learned to lis- ten to other’s ideas, express her own, and then come up with a plan to suit everyone. My husband and I have learned to slow down, listen, and observe what the children are doing. By doing this we have a renewed appreciation of the students’ abilities. We can enjoy the pure enthusiasm and joy these kids have for life’s experiences and learning. Children are capable of great things if given the chance! I know CCC brought many families this same joy. Thank you for supporting our wonderful school. We hope you have fun tonight and always remember to take time and explore the world with your children and listen to their roar! Thank you, Sally Bland CCC Parent Isaac & Violet’s Mom 3 Schedule of Events Silent Auction 5:00 pm silent auction opens 6:00 pm red tables close 6:20 pm blue tables close 6:40 pm green tables close Dinner & Live Auction 6:45 pm super silent auction opens 7:15 pm dinner served & super silent auction closes 7:30 pm welcome remarks & presentation 7:45 pm live auction begins 9:30 pm prize winners announced 4 Dinner Menu Appetizers large mushroom caps stuffed with vegetables cheeses and fresh herbs trio of bruschetta - wild mushroom tapenade; white cheddar, cipolini onion and tart cherry; smoked salmon, dill cream cheese and capers asian assortment of pork shumai, vegetarian eggrolls and potstickers Salad gathered greens with glazed pecans, red onions, gorgonzola cheese & a balsamic vinaigrette Entrée choice of spinach and feta lasagna pinwheels or braised beef with a stout gravy and caramelized onions Dessert chocolate mousse cake with whipped cream 5 CCC Turns 20 Happy 20th Anniversary Creative Children's Center! You have been a wonderful place of learning for many, many children and adults alike! Your existence has created friendships. You have opened the door to new ideas. You have provided us with many challenges to overcome and you have built up our confidence in ourselves and in each other. Your anniversary is not about one person, or a couple, or even the thousands of children who came through your doors, rather your anniversary is a testament to the human capac- ity to learn, to grow, and to seek knowledge. You are not here alone. It took many to give you life, and many more to form your foundations. To the parents who have been with you along the way, we thank you for your caring and vision. To the teachers who molded you and created your pedagogy, we thank you for your love and dedication. To the children who supply you with your heart and soul, we thank you most of all, for it is you who truly have created a school worthy of celebrating twenty years. So here's to you, Creative Children's Center. Happy twenty years! May you live to be very, very old, filled with wisdom, prepared to question, and able to better yourself in the years to come! Hip, hip, hooray! Lucy Chaillé Founder & Director Creative Children’s Center 6 Thanks to Our Donors Tonight we come together to celebrate children and all of their wonder. We offer a very special thank you to our donors who believe in early childhood education. Without you we would have no auction. We appreciate that we have such overwhelming support from the community and we encourage all those associated with Creative Children’s Center, along with everyone present tonight, to patronize the merchants and businesses who have been so generous to us. Please express the appreciation of all of us at Creative Children’s Center when you visit. Our donors’ names can be found listed next to each auction item. Thanks to Our Committee We would like to thank the group of hardworking, dedicated volunteers and their families who helped make this evening possible.

Only registered bidders may participate in the auction. You will use the catalog as your paddle during the live auction. At registration you have the opportunity to pre-check-out by providing your credit card information. You will only be charged if you win an item. This is a huge time-saver. How To Bid Read through the descriptions in this catalog to help you decide what you would like to bid on. Every item has an estimated value listed next to it to help you determine your bid. The easel parties and group experiences have the fixed price per attendee listed. Each item in the silent auction and super silent auction has a bid sheet taped next to it on the table. The bid sheet specifies the minimum value that can be bid, a minimum raise amount, and a guaranteed bid amount. If you want to bid on that item, clearly write your name and bid number on the bid sheet after confirming the description at the top matches the item you want. The first bid needs to be at least the minimum amount listed on the bid sheet. Subsequent bids must increase by that item’s minimum raise amount. Items in the silent and super silent auction also have a guaranteed bid. The first bidder to fill in the guaranteed bid amount, wins. The guaranteed bid supersedes any other bidding. To sign up for an easel party, clearly write your name and bid number on a ticket from the party’s board. Put the completed ticket back in the pocket but keep the reminder slip for your records. You may purchase as many available spaces as you want for a specific event. To bid during the live auction, raise your catalog (“paddle”) high to bid the amount the auctioneer has called. Wait until the auctioneer acknowledges you. If multiple people raise their paddles, the bid will go to the person the auctioneer sees first. The auctioneer will de- termine when bidding ends. The highest bid wins. Some items can have multiple winners. If You Win The winning bidder for a silent auction item is the person who has entered the highest written bid at closing time for the table unless someone bid the guaranteed amount. The closing time for each silent auction table is posted and warnings will be announced prior to each table’s closing. Note the color of the tablecloth and the balloons. Upon the closing of a table, a volunteer will collect the bid sheets and identify the winning bid for each item. This person has the authority to determine the winning bid and their decision is final. The winning bid number will be highlighted on the carbon-copy bid sheet taped to the table. If you are the winner of an item in the live auction, the auctioneer will announce your bid number as the bid winner. 8 An Auction Primer Gift Certificates and Services Many gift certificates have restrictions or expiration dates or may require reservations to be made in advance.
