I want to invite all of you here in town to attend the 3rd annual auction at Elliot's school, School of Autism. The school is a private nonprofit, so the proceeds from the annual auction are integral to the school's budget. This year, the school plans to use a portion of the proceeds to buy land and build a larger school so that they can eventually expand to serve children on the autism spectrum aged preschool through 8th grade (the school currently has students in preschool, kindergarten, and 1st/2nd grade).
Here are the details for the auction:
Saturday, February 28th, 2009
6-10pm
Portland Art Museum, Sunken Ballroom
We've received many fabulous donations, which you can read about on the website linked above. Tickets are $75 each, and you can purchase them here. Please tell all your friends! We hope you'll support this worthy cause, even in these tough economic times. The school is the only one of its kind in the region, and it has made a huge difference in the lives of many families with children on the spectrum.
I don't know what we would have done without the school these past couple of years. Elliot has made amazing progress while at the school, and he just loves attending. As proof, I offer you this photograph of Elliot with his best friend, Sammy.
Thanks to all of you who donated items this year:
Thomas - preparation of a simple will through his law firm.
Dad - signed books by Barbara Kingsolver and Larry McMurtry and two limited edition prints by illustrator Shaun Tan.
Vic - original shadowbox mixed media artwork.
Phyllis - framed needlework Holly Hobby picture.
John - gorgeous 1950s earrings and brooch set from Decades Vintage Company.
Kevia - beautiful gold and blue topaz necklace and matching earrings from her collection.
Kate - 4 handmade skirts from Hazel Blue.
Chris - two gift certificates for classes at Lost Arts Kitchen.
Allegra - Feldenkrais session and bodywork from her colleagues at Anisha.
Kent - skateboard deck signed by Tony Hawk.
Christopher & Nancy - Peter Yarrow Puff the Magic Dragon gift basket and model ships from The Monkey & The Rat.
Mitch - hair cut and color from Spank! salon.
Pat - symphony tickets, Opera broadcast tickets, and classical CDs.
We hope to see y'all at the auction! Heck, if nothing else, it's a great excuse to get dolled up, and how often do you get to do that in Portland? I'm already excited about donning my velvet dress and hip stockings. I'm even going to wear heels. Y'all gotta show up to see that!

Is it too late to donate? I have an idea or two, with thanks in advance to my sister/artist.
The only donations they're currently taking are pieces of art that can be used as centerpieces for the tables. They've just switched the focus to ticket sales. If Anne has something that would work as a centerpiece, that would be great. Otherwise - next year! :)
