Help Wanted: Parents’ Nights at the NWC Phonathon

We know: No one loves a phonathon … but they are critically important to our fundraising. The contributions pledged during our annual Northwest Catholic Fund phonathon represent a significant portion of the total raised each year by the Advancement Office. Won’t you help? No experience needed; we’ll train you (and feed you dinner). Please consider volunteering (and meeting other parents) during our special calling nights for current parents, Nov. 4, 5 & 6. Contact Jane Leary in Advancement () to volunteer.

Of course we want you all to come share in the fun of Saturday Night Live, but we could also use your help.

Volunteering to work an hour or two

is part of the fun of SNL!!

It doesn’t matter if you’re new to the Northwest Catholic family or have never been to Saturday Night Live before – we’re happy to show you the ropes! Volunteering is an easy and fun way to get involved and meet new friends. To sign up, contact Carol Ciotto (216-6028, ) or Gail Riley (242-1120, ).

The Silent Auction could use your help! Last year's auction was very exciting, thanks to the generosity of many. Please help to ensure that this year's is even better. We are looking for donations of goods and services to be dropped off at the Admissions Office formerly Advancement) by Friday, Nov. 2. Tickets to a ballgame or show, time at a vacation home, pieces of art, and handcrafted items have all been popular in the past. Gifts of time and talent are equally enjoyed -- what service can you provide? Homemade pies for Thanksgiving, Christmas giftwrapping, a brunch or dinner that you “cater,” a private lesson in cooking, sewing, sailing or fishing -- any of these would be so appealing. It can be a lot of fun to give of yourself to benefit the school. Please fill out the Donation Commitment Form and send it back to the school office; the sooner we know what’s being donated, the sooner we can whet your appetite by getting it on the SNL web site! For more information or to volunteer to help, contact Maribeth Mortillaro (658-7577 ).

Become an advertising partner! Parents, alumni and business friends are invited to become a Room Sponsor or to place an ad in the SNL Program (which will be given out to at least 600 people). Room sponsors have a banner displayed in their room with their name or company logo, plus their name appears on the room’s page in the program. Check Edline for an advertising commitment form.

One last way to help out is to donate a dessert to the Starlight Café. Do you know of a bakery that makes beautiful desserts? Is your cheesecake the family favorite? We are looking for specialty desserts: cakes, pies, cheesecakes, or pastries. If you can help, please contact Julie Dodds (668-9030or ).

Thank you for your support!!!!
