The 2010 Winter Gala
Heart and Soul a huge success
Wow! The 2010 Winter Gala. Where do we begin? First we had a fantastic venue, the newly remodeled Sellers Buick Pontiac GMC showroom, with floor to ceiling windows. It was transformed into a very elegant room rivaling any country club or hotel ballroom. Our guests (and we had a sell-out crowd) were welcomed by student greeters who took their coats. As they mingled with friends and made new friends, our guests could also have their photo taken as a memento of the evening, browse and bid on a wide array of silent auction items, and participate in the hilarious "Boogie Heads."
The 2009 Rubber Duck Race
What a terrific event!
August 15 was an absolutely perfect day for our 5th Annual Rubber Duck Race. Hundreds of people lined the river bank at Shiawassee Park in Farmington. Thirty-one very creative decoy ducks were on display and Mama Duck and her ducklings had the very difficult task of choosing their favorites. The Decoy Duck Race was followed by the main event. Over 4,000 little rubber ducks swam their hearts out and brought some wonderful prizes for their owners.
