As a top school for preparing the next generation of operatives, we have come together this evening ready for action. Thank you for accepting your mission to attend Montage ’09! Whether you be an MI6 Field Operative, Villain or Spy you are not required to eliminate any targets this evening, but you are commanded to relax and enjoy a night of intrigue and surprises. While you sip your martini (thank you to Michele & Donn Lux for once again donating all of the liquor!) or enjoy a lovely glass of wine (thank you to Gail & Scott Westerman for once again donating all of the vino!), please inspect the Silent and Live Auction items that have been packaged in exciting new ways. There are limitless opportunities tonight to have a festive time in this world of Bond created by our talented decoration chairs, Cicely Drennan, Stacy Carey and Teresa Mitchelson-Busch. We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Mimi Hammack, past Montage Chair for ’07 and ’08, who went far beyond the call of duty in her role this year as an acquisition head. We also extend a special mention to Kim Thompson (and husband, Tony) as senior parents who also gave our acquisition teams an amazing boost. Sheri Diemer, our dear friend and online auction creator—thank you for taking on the awesome task of creating an online vehicle for the auction as it is a “site” to behold! We also want to thank you for being our auction guru/advisor who was there to offer assistance at any time. For months our agents have been active throughout the city. With the leadership of super-agents Vicki Chabot and Julie Nelson, our team has assembled a thrilling array of auction items for your eyes only. Meanwhile, from her cyber-laboratory, special agent Sheri Diemer has added to the fun by spearheading our first ever online auction. We also thank the many friends and families that contributed table items, trips, unique experiences, cash underwriting, sponsorships and gifts of time and talent. An operation of this size takes a true team effort. Your license to thrill has been granted, so grab your bid-paddle and set your sights on an exciting evening as we raise funds in support of the best students in the free world. From Whitfield with love, Of course, none of this would have been possible without Kelly Edwards, a consummate professional who made this job fun with her upbeat attitude and openness to our more zany ideas. We are grateful for the support of Becky Marsh who offered both the wisdom of experience as well as the necessary chocolate to get us through the more stressful times. Melissa Irvin, the graphic design genius, we thank you for your incredible talent and dedication. A big thank you to Michelle Parsons who lent her talent to many items for this event, from managing the Montage page on the Web site, to assisting with the online auction to working on one of the biggest jobs of coordinating RSVPs and seating arrangements! Thank you also to Ed White for your steadfast patience in making numerable changes and printouts for our perusal. For all the proof reading of anything Montage related, thank you, Laura Boeker. To our volunteers who made up acquisitions-especially our committee heads, Marion Margulis and Stacy Rubenstein, mailing and setup, many, many thanks to you for making tonight possible! The support of our Whitfield staff and faculty, Board of Trustees, and families who always make our annual Montage a success, we thank you! Now it is time to get back to the auction, have a great time and celebrate this evening with your Whitfield family. We are here to raise money for our wonderful school. Thank you for supporting Whitfield School and our children!
