Bill’s Word: What a Night!
Dear Friend,
Chef Jesse Branstetter and everyone at Cafe Q made sure our guests were treated to absolutely amazing gourmet hors d’oeuvres. A special thanks to Robert Gott and Savoy Catering for all they did to make this event so successful.
Delicious desserts were donated by Nothing Bundt Cake. Guests enjoyed great local wine from Rock Wall and R & B Cellars. Raffle items were donated by Angela’s Bistro, 1400 Bar and Grill, Harbor Bay Club, Nothing Bundt Cake, Starland Music Center and Total Woman Gym & Day Spa.
Special thanks to Patrick Kenney of Cairdea Marketing & Design for the beautiful program posters, Jill Saxty of First Flight Designs for the outstanding programs, Jim Franz for the stage and Doug Biggs for the PA System. Lifetouch spent the evening taking photographs that we can’t wait to see. Gorgeous flower arrangements were donated by Mints and Honey.
We are so grateful to our entire business community and there is no better way to thank these supporters than by giving them your business!
Middle School Sports
Track begins this week with our first All-Comers meet on April 24th and 25th. Wednesday will feature the running events at the College of Alameda and Thursday will be the field events at Encinal High School. Both start at 3:30 PM. We are happy this year that Bay Farm 6th graders will be joining our teams from The Academy of Alameda, Lincoln, Wood, and Nea/ACLC. A full schedule is on our website.
Summer Enrichment Camps
I am very excited about the Summer Enrichment Camps being offered by AEF. We are offering high quality camps that truly will help your students’ imaginations soar, support them academically, and even give them a leg up on the top careers of the future. Our camps include architecture, aviation, computer programming, marine science, space exploration and math “boost” camps for a variety of levels. There are also camps to support students’ creative side in art, music and drama, among much more. We keep our camps small to ensure maximum engagement, so space is limited. Early bird registration ends April 30th. We are also partnering with our friends at Alameda Parks and Recreation for those who need day care after the camps. Please visit the AEF website for more information and registration.
Coming soon: Information Nights for Incoming Freshmen! Stay tuned for details.
Summer Movie Series
Summer is almost here and AEF will once again be selling tickets to family movies at Alameda Theatre. See 9 movies for just $5.00 a set (Tuesday or Wednesday series), available at Bank of Alameda-1416 Park Street, Daisy’s-1347 Park Street and Cafe Q-2302 Encinal Avenue. More information here.
As always, thank you for your support. Together, we are Supporting Student Success!
Sincerely,
Bill Sonneman
