We'd like to give a special thanks to all of our Gala volunteers. Over 100 women have rolled up their sleeves and jumped in to help with things such as auction displays, auction donation pick up, follow up phone calls, mailings, PR, event set-up, cataloging, certificate production and basket assembly. We simply couldn't pull off an event of this magnitude without the tireless number of hours they have put in. To see a list of those who are helping make this evening a "beautiful night," click here. We look forward to seeing you there!! Mimi & Leigh | |

New to this year's Gala - The St. Agnes Academy Wine Pull!
Wine aficionados, do not pass up the opportunity to participate in this year's Wine Pull! To participate, for a set price, you will "pull" a cork that will be matched to one of the many bottles of wine that will then be yours to take home at the conclusion of the evening to add to your personal cellar. Selections will include popular favorites as well as specially selected fine wines. Bottles will be of varied values and types, ranging from reasonable favorites to high end wines. Each participant will also be thrilled to receive a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, specially labeled to commemorate St. Agnes and La Bella Notte. Don't miss this exciting part of the evening! The Wine Pull has been generously underwritten by numerous families from the Class of 2015 as well as our SAA Board of Trustees. Anyone wishing to donate cash or wine to supplement the Wine Pull, please contact Susie Murray at susieom@gmail.com. | |
