Mohonasen Foundation benefit on November 7
Enjoy an evening of dinner, dancing and a chance to win silent auction prizes
Sept. 22, 2008
How would you like to enjoy an evening of
dinner and dancing? Does the prospect of a silent auction tempt you?
If you knew such an evening would help improve academic achievement
at Mohonasen, would you be interested? All of this is possible by
attending the
Mohonasen Foundation’s Dinner, Dance and Silent Auction on
Friday, November 7 at Mallozzi’s.
The Mohonasen Foundation has responded to proposals from district
faculty for academic innovations by providing over $60,000 in grants
over the past decade. Recently Bradt School students benefitted
through grants for a Book Nook, vocabulary programs, and sensory
integration tool kits. Pinewood School received Orff music
instruments for music classes, books for struggling readers and
materials to start a chess club. Foundation funding brought special
reading materials, telescopes and observatory equipment to Draper
Middle School. High school students’ academic programs were enriched
through grants for graphing calculators, character education
programs and flight simulation equipment. Descriptions of these
grants and a listing of several more can be found on the
foundation’s Web site,
www.mohonasenfoundation.org.
If such programs and projects for Mohonasen students are to
continue, the foundation must raise funds to meet the increasing
demand for grants. All proceeds from the Dinner, Dance and Silent
Auction will go directly to grants for academic programs. The grants
will enable the foundation to continue providing resources for
materials, training and projects that raise student achievement.
Mohonasen residents and all friends of Mohonasen can help the
foundation continue its mission while enjoying a lively evening of
fun on November 7. A social hour will begin at 6 p.m. and will be
followed by an Italian buffet. The silent auction and dancing will
be enjoyed throughout the evening. Tickets are $40. They can be
obtained by calling Craig Radliff at 356-4358.
A copy of the foundation's annual financial report may be obtained upon request from the foundation or the NYS Attorney General's Bureau, Attn: FOIL Director.
