STARLIGHT SUCCESS!
Thank you so very much, one and all, for turning out for the 2010 Starlight Auction and Celebration and making our event a success.  Final numbers are still being crunched, but it appears we squeaked slightly past our PTA projected forecast of $100,000. We know many are enduring tough times, and we are humbled and grateful for the generosity of the CL community.  So again, a very big THANK YOU.  --MJ Call & Cynthia Hogan

VOLUNTEER THANKS!
Thanks also goes out to the dozens of people who helped make the Starlight Auction such fun, and run smoothly. We can't list them all here, but will do so in the coming days on the website and the Google Group. If you see these people at school or in the pick-up line - please give them thanks as well, for without these volunteers this event would NOT happen.    

POST-EVENT PLANS!
As with any event of this size, there are left-over questions, concerns, and collectables (both merchandise and financial).  We will be working on these in the coming days, so be patient.  If you left goods at the event, have an outstanding bill, checked out early without all charges, etc....an auction representative will be in touch with you to resolve all issues.  Also, look forward to announcements regarding framed quilt print issues, and when/if you can order unframed prints of your student's class quilt.  Announcements will be made via the ClaireLilienthal.org, and the CLPTA Google Group.

ONLINE SPECIALS!
As we announced at the event, the higher-end merchandise and unsold gift certificates in all categories will still be available online at "sale prices you can't afford to miss!"  Just click on the "Starlight Auction/Online Catalog" button above.  Keep in mind we do not have the capabilities of an Amazon or Ebay, and are unable to mark items as SOLD in real time.  Also, items which go "unsold" will be saved for "Claire's Corner" at Mayfair on May 8th.  

LOST AND FOUND!
Auction guests did a great job consuming spirits, spending money and keeping track of their belongings.  Thus, there are only three Lost-and-Found items to announce this year:  women wire-frame reading glasses, a long, thin, black scarf, and a red lambswool women's wrap.  You can pick these up at Scott Campus office.
