Megan Wilkinson Photography newborn∴kids & family∴wedding∴engagement meganwilkinsonphotography.com Davis Parent Nursery School Page 3 “We are dedicated to helping children develop total musicianship and to providing an understanding and love of music that will last for a lifetime.” Music Stream Center has served the Yolo County area since 2003. From our beginnings as a very small school, we have grown to become the most comprehensive music school in our area. Our staff consists of dedicated teachers with advanced degrees in performance and pedagogy. Our teachers collaborate using our collective experience to help each student reach their full potential. Getting Started at Music Stream Center Research has shown that very young children can develop an awareness of pitch and musical concepts. If left untapped, this natural feeling for music may never be developed. We offer Harmony Road Music Course—an internationally successful piano based music program for children as young as two years of age. This exciting, comprehensive American group music program is designed to help children discover the world of music through motivating materials and “hands on” activities, which develop each child into a well-rounded musician. We recommend all beginning piano students start with a group class. Our group class program allows children to begin their music education in a more fun and interactive way using materials specifically designed for each developmental stage of the child. The method incorporates movement, rhythm, composition, improvisation, singing, sharing, and playing to result in young musicians who are truly gifted and well rounded. Our unique combination of private lessons, musicianship classes and music lab program is for intermediate and advanced piano students, and guitar, violin, cello, and oboe students. Each of us has two native languages. Both are learned early...both stay with us for a lifetime. One is music.

The 2016 DPNS Auction is the primary fundraising event for our school, helping to sustain an amazing experience for our children. Without the effort of current and alumni families, our dedicated auction committee, and all the generous donors from our community, this event would not be possible. Here is what you can expect at the DPNS Hop: delicious food, good music, fantastic items, and great company! The evening will begin with our Silent Auction, full of fantastic items. From gift cards and packages donated by your favorite local businesses to culinary experiences prepared by DPNS families, from family-fun adventures to parties and get-togethers—there is something for everyone! Be on the lookout for our new auction opportunity: the ability to steal back items you were outbid on. If you missed out on that silent auction item you were eyeing, fret not! Choose the StealIt-Back option and, for $50 above the closing price, the coveted item will be yours. After opening your wallets, it will be time to open your mouths and eat! What says 1950s more than burgers and fries at the drive-in? Enjoy a tasty dinner courtesy of Krushburger and bid on a dessert in our Cake Raffle featuring Ettore’s delicious confections. Once your belly is full, get ready to shake, rattle ‘n’ roll on the dance floor! Whether it is a timeless Elvis song or your favorite dance hit, you will be hoppin’ and boppin’ in no time. And don’t forget to swing by the photo booth to take home some memories. In between bidding, eating, and dancing, you will be able to spend the night chatting with fellow DPNS families and friends.

So glad you are all joining us for such a swell night! Each year, I really look forward to the auction. It is so much fun—a night out with my sweetie and my awesome DPNS family, lots of dancing (without a child in my arms!), and raising tons of money for the school we all care so much about. The annual auction is DPNS’s biggest fundraiser of the year. It supplies 70 percent of the annual fundraising budget, which is absolutely essential to funding our school. Did you know all our income comes from fundraising and tuition? That income pays for our teachers, site maintenance and equipment, supplies—everything that’s needed to make our school run. That’s why it’s so important for us to come together to not only solicit and donate awesome items, but also to bid on them. In this year’s catalog, we have a ton of items donated from our teachers, families, and local businesses. Take a look and see what you might be interested in—and don’t forget to hit the bidding sheets as soon as you arrive at the auction…and check them before the Silent Auction closes! Then enjoy raising those numbers for the Live Auction and kicking up your Mary Janes (or saddle shoes or penny loafers) and dancing the night away. This is your night to have FUN and to feel good while doing so! —Kristi Link-Crosier DPNS Executive Board President Page 8 The DPNS Hop Davis Parent Nursery School Page 33 Item # Description Value Pets S2401 Pet Essentials Basket: This basket contains essentials for a canine family member.

To place a bid during the Silent Auction, write the amount you are willing to pay and your bidder number on the bid form displayed with each item. You may bid multiple times on the same item, and you may bid on as many items as you wish for the duration of the Silent Auction. At the end of the Silent Auction, if auction officials designate your bid(s) as the highest, this forms a legal contract to purchase the item(s). If you were outbid on an item that you really wanted, then you may use a Steal-It-Back ticket. The Steal-It-Back option gives all bidders the opportunity to steal back an item they were outbid on when the Silent Auction closed. The use of said ticket will override the closing bid and exceed it in the amount of $50. Steal It Back tickets will be added onto bidder invoices and purchased by the bidder at checkout for $50 apiece. Steal It Back tickets may only be used once a silent auction bidding section has closed. The Live Auction will begin after the Silent Auction closes and will continue until all items have been auctioned. To participate in the Live Auction, hold your bid card in the air so the auctioneer (and Live Auction bid assistants) can see the number. Please be aware that if the auctioneer accepts your bid, you’ve entered a legal contract to purchase the item. Our checkout volunteers will record all bid sheets and have them ready by 8:30 pm. At checkout, you can pay by cash, check, credit card, or PayPal, but you must pay in full. We strongly prefer cash or checks, as credit card fees lessen the amount of that DPNS receives. Please take all items home with you on the night of the event. All auction purchases are final. Sorry, no exchanges or refunds. Unless otherwise noted, services or events that you purchase expire within one year of the auction date. Each person who is issued a bid number assumes all risks and hazards related to the auction and items obtained at the auction. Each bidder agrees to hold harmless from any liability Davis Parent Nursery School and the Davis Joint Unified School District, its elected and appointed officials, members, and employees, the auctioneer, the event organizers, sponsors, and/or volunteers connected with it.

To place a bid during the Silent Auction, write the amount you are willing to pay and your bidder number on the bid form displayed with each item. You may bid multiple times on the same item, and you may bid on as many items as you wish for the duration of the Silent Auction. At the end of the Silent Auction, if auction officials designate your bid(s) as the highest, this forms a legal contract to purchase the item(s). If you were outbid on an item that you really wanted, then you may use a Steal-It-Back ticket. The Steal-It-Back option gives all bidders the opportunity to steal back an item they were outbid on when the Silent Auction closed. The use of said ticket will override the closing bid and exceed it in the amount of $50. Steal It Back tickets will be added onto bidder invoices and purchased by the bidder at checkout for $50 apiece. Steal It Back tickets may only be used once a silent auction bidding section has closed. The Live Auction will begin after the Silent Auction closes and will continue until all items have been auctioned. To participate in the Live Auction, hold your bid card in the air so the auctioneer (and Live Auction bid assistants) can see the number. Please be aware that if the auctioneer accepts your bid, you’ve entered a legal contract to purchase the item. Our checkout volunteers will record all bid sheets and have them ready by 8:30 pm. At checkout, you can pay by cash, check, credit card, or PayPal, but you must pay in full. We strongly prefer cash or checks, as credit card fees lessen the amount of that DPNS receives. Please take all items home with you on the night of the event. All auction purchases are final. Sorry, no exchanges or refunds. Unless otherwise noted, services or events that you purchase expire within one year of the auction date. Each person who is issued a bid number assumes all risks and hazards related to the auction and items obtained at the auction. Each bidder agrees to hold harmless from any liability Davis Parent Nursery School and the Davis Joint Unified School District, its elected and appointed officials, members, and employees, the auctioneer, the event organizers, sponsors, and/or volunteers connected with it.

So glad you are all joining us for such a swell night! Each year, I really look forward to the auction. It is so much fun—a night out with my sweetie and my awesome DPNS family, lots of dancing (without a child in my arms!), and raising tons of money for the school we all care so much about. The annual auction is DPNS’s biggest fundraiser of the year. It supplies 70 percent of the annual fundraising budget, which is absolutely essential to funding our school. Did you know all our income comes from fundraising and tuition? That income pays for our teachers, site maintenance and equipment, supplies—everything that’s needed to make our school run. That’s why it’s so important for us to come together to not only solicit and donate awesome items, but also to bid on them. In this year’s catalog, we have a ton of items donated from our teachers, families, and local businesses. Take a look and see what you might be interested in—and don’t forget to hit the bidding sheets as soon as you arrive at the auction…and check them before the Silent Auction closes! Then enjoy raising those numbers for the Live Auction and kicking up your Mary Janes (or saddle shoes or penny loafers) and dancing the night away.

From gift cards and packages donated by your favorite local businesses to culinary experiences prepared by DPNS families, from family-fun adventures to parties and get-togethers—there is something for everyone! Be on the lookout for our new auction opportunity: the ability to steal back items you were outbid on. If you missed out on that silent auction item you were eyeing, fret not! Choose the StealIt-Back option and, for $50 above the closing price, the coveted item will be yours. After opening your wallets, it will be time to open your mouths and eat! What says 1950s more than burgers and fries at the drive-in? Enjoy a tasty dinner courtesy of Krushburger and bid on a dessert in our Cake Raffle featuring Ettore’s delicious confections. Once your belly is full, get ready to shake, rattle ‘n’ roll on the dance floor! Whether it is a timeless Elvis song or your favorite dance hit, you will be hoppin’ and boppin’ in no time. And don’t forget to swing by the photo booth to take home some memories. In between bidding, eating, and dancing, you will be able to spend the night chatting with fellow DPNS families and friends. This event is about building community and having fun, so please enjoy yourself and rock around the clock!

Donor: Ashley Hurst $45.00 Davis Parent Nursery School Page 3 “We are dedicated to helping children develop total musicianship and to providing an understanding and love of music that will last for a lifetime.” Music Stream Center has served the Yolo County area since 2003. From our beginnings as a very small school, we have grown to become the most comprehensive music school in our area. Our staff consists of dedicated teachers with advanced degrees in performance and pedagogy. Our teachers collaborate using our collective experience to help each student reach their full potential. Getting Started at Music Stream Center Research has shown that very young children can develop an awareness of pitch and musical concepts. If left untapped, this natural feeling for music may never be developed. We offer Harmony Road Music Course—an internationally successful piano based music program for children as young as two years of age. This exciting, comprehensive American group music program is designed to help children discover the world of music through motivating materials and “hands on” activities, which develop each child into a well-rounded musician. We recommend all beginning piano students start with a group class. Our group class program allows children to begin their music education in a more fun and interactive way using materials specifically designed for each developmental stage of the child. The method incorporates movement, rhythm, composition, improvisation, singing, sharing, and playing to result in young musicians who are truly gifted and well rounded. Our unique combination of private lessons, musicianship classes and music lab program is for intermediate and advanced piano students, and guitar, violin, cello, and oboe students. Each of us has two native languages. Both are learned early...both stay with us for a lifetime. One is music.
