Please check out the Event created on Facebook, and take a moment to invite all your Facebook friends – even those who don’t live in our area – to register for the on-line auction, and attend the live event if they’re local. Let’s really show some love to one of California’s Distinguished Schools, and help it to continue to earn this coveted distinction.

The live, silent auction component will be held on Saturday, March 21 from 2:00 to 5:30 PM at the fabulous Cantine Wine Pub in Aptos Village Plaza. The live auction is the only place to bid on class projects and prize baskets – and a few choice adventures will be up for bid as well.
