ABOUT THE
AVERY COONLEY SCHOOL
The Avery Coonley School is an
independent, non-denominational school
enrolling bright and academically gifted
boys and girls from age three through
eighth grade. Each year, students from
approximately 41 surrounding communities
attend the school, giving strong testimony
to the school’s widespread reputation for
educational excellence.
The school was founded in 1906 by
Queene Ferry (Mrs. Avery) Coonley, whose
desire to offer an alternative to traditional
public institutions was inspired by the
educational philosophy of John Dewey and
other progressive thinkers of her day. This
philosophy is based on the concept that
school should encourage a child to become
an enthusiastic participant in the learning
process. Mrs. Coonley began her first
school in a cottage on the Coonley Estate in
Riverside, Illinois. The present school facility
was built in 1929.
Reflecting the belief that education is a
lifelong process, the school seeks to instill a
sense of joy and excitement about learning at
an early age. Hallmarks of an Avery Coonley
School education include small class size,
an accomplished and dedicated faculty, and
a wide spectrum of learning opportunities.
The challenging curriculum is designed to
foster critical and creative thinking, selfreliance, and concern for others.

Welcome
DEAR FRIENDS OF THE AVERY COONLEY SCHOOL,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to our 29th Annual Auction, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
This year’s event holds special significance because it marks the return of our auction to campus
for the first time since 2006. It seems only fitting that as we gather as a community to celebrate
our children, we do so in their home away from home – The Avery Coonley School. Our
actions and interactions in this magical setting will truly transform this beautiful evening into
A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
The auction is a wonderful example of the dedication and talent of our parent volunteers.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the auction chairs, Laura Heimburger and
John Harrast. They have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the school through their
leadership. A great debt of gratitude is also due to the committee chairs as well as the sea of
auction volunteers whose collective efforts are so clearly visible tonight. From securing auction
donations to assembling beautiful baskets to transforming this cloister into what you see before
you, the auction chairs, committee chairs, and volunteers have been hard at work for months.
On behalf of the school, we thank you and congratulate you on your remarkable efforts.
The commitment of our many donors is critical to the success of the auction. We would like to
acknowledge the very generous support of the many parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff,
businesses and friends who donated to this year’s auction. This event would not be possible
without you, and the pages of this catalog are a testament to your extraordinary generosity.
The philanthropic spirit established by Mrs. Coonley lives on through you today.
Enjoy the evening, celebrate with old friends and make new ones, and remember that we are
all here tonight to support the children of The Avery Coonley School. Your commitment to
the school’s program and mission is greatly appreciated.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening!

have multiple opportunities to win while supporting the school. These opportunities include:
• Tuition Raffle

• 41 POPportunities Raffle Items
• Four Parties Available for Sign-up
• Class Memory Books for each ACS Group
• 180 Silent (via iPod) Auction Items including 30 Baskets to take home

as all proceeds from this evening provide direct support to ACS and our children’s education!
In preparing for this evening, we have been humbled by the munificence of the ACS community. We are extremely grateful to all contributors for your financial and in-kind gifts. Your
generosity has made this event possible. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the auction committee chairs and all volunteers. The examples you have set through your leadership, talent, and
dedication have been inspiring. We raise a glass tonight to Joan Sunseri and her development
staff. Their professionalism, expertise, and tireless efforts have made all the difference. We
express our sincere respect to the past auction chairs who have built this event so successfully
over almost three decades. We can only hope that our stewardship of the event has been able
to rise to the high level you have established.

Fund-a-Need
“In its reliance upon expression as the key to development the school finds great resources in the arts. The children are led to see the art possibilities of their environment and are given opportunity to create with words and with colors, to express themselves through the medium of song, the drama, and the dance…”
Gertrude Hartman
Finding Wisdom: Chronicles of a School of Today, 1938
32
The performing arts have played a central
role in the Avery Coonley School experience
from the beginning. Our alumni—yesterday’s
students—fondly recall class plays and musical performances, and often cite the skills
and confidence they acquired on the stage
as contributing greatly to their success in
life, regardless of their career path. Today’s
students likewise look forward with immense
anticipation to their turn in the spotlight;
fortunately, these opportunities occur with
great regularity during each child’s ACS journey. With your help, tomorrow’s students
will experience these same benefits and share
these same transformative moments.
As part of the 1993 building addition, an
outstanding venue was created to enhance
these remarkable and important student
performances. The Performing Arts Center is
home to many of the school’s most memorable events. Each year the PAC hosts orchestra
and choral concerts, class plays, the Thanksgiving Program, and weekly Gatherings. The
space plays a key role in the Native American
Fair, Shakespeare Fest and Greek Fest, and
the World’s Fair. First Group students take
center stage with their circus, Third Group
performs their annual play, and Eighth
Group students share their final starring
role at graduation.
Nearly twenty years after its opening, and
after hundreds of memorable performances,
it is time for us to focus our attention on the
PAC itself. The theater’s lighting system is
original and in desperate need of significant
upgrade. Funds raised this evening will go towards the purchase and installation of a new
state-of-the art lighting board. In addition,
we will acquire new orchestra chairs, and a
high quality electric piano.
These improvements go beyond the cosmetic
and routine. Each year, a significant portion
of the 8th Group class joins the Tech Club,
providing valuable behind-the-scenes support
for PAC functions. With the new lighting
board, which is equivalent to the ones at area
high schools, these students will be better
able to provide these services and also learn
technical skills that will benefit them in the
future. Likewise, the new orchestra chairs
will not only add a professional look, but will
also help to improve the posture and technique of our already accomplished musicians,
and the additional piano will add flexibility
and create new opportunities for the music
program.
As other schools are forced to cut programs
in the arts, this project is a tribute to both
the vision and generosity of the ACS family.
For us, the performing arts can never be an
expendable extracurricular, but rather are a
central part of who we are and what we do.
With your support, we can ensure that the
students of today—and tomorrow—will have a
setting worthy of their efforts and talents.
Thank you for raising your paddles in support of this important cause!

Dinner for Four at Next
From the Creators of Alinea, a New Restaurant . . .
NEXT: THE EXPLORATION OF WORLD CUISINE
At Alinea, multi-award winner chef/owner Grant Achatz is famed for his inventive preparations
and understanding of dining as art, science, innovation, and curiosity. Now he brings all of his
experience to a new level of cuisine at Next Restaurant.
Next Restaurant will explore world cuisine. It will serve four menus per year from great
moments in culinary history or the future. Their team of chefs will investigate, test, refine, and
present authentic menu interpretations from cultures, places, and times. Depending on the
cuisine, meals will be five to six courses and will include food, beverage pairings, and service.
Their goal each season is to present the best possible menu from each culinary inspiration.
They want to take diners on a journey to the foods they find exciting, delicious, and important.
Next Restaurant will not use reservations; their bookings will be made more like a theater or
a sporting event. A very limited number of tickets will be available for purchase via lottery and
only two walk-in tables will be available every evening. Next door to the restaurant is The
Aviary. The Aviary is neither a bar nor a lounge exactly. Or perhaps it is a bar without a bar or
bartenders. Or a lounge without the attitude of a lounge. There are chefs and a kitchen producing drinks. The drinks will be innovative, beautiful, and consistent. Some will be classics, others
will be informed by the menu at Next, still others will be something else entirely.
Your evening of fine dining for four people will start with cocktails at The Aviary. You will then
move next door for dinner, paired with wine, at Next. The date of this dining experience was
not available at the date of printing. A specific date will be known by the time the auction takes
place. The theme of your meal will be Paris in 1906, with painstakingly researched evocations
of Escoffer-era cuisine.

or condition of any item offered. The school makes no warranty or guarantee. Values listed are
as stated by the donor. Values indicated for some items are estimates and are not guaranteed by
the school. All sales are final and are sold as is. No exchanges or refunds will be made.
By his/her purchase, the buyer waives any claims for liability against the school. The school is
not responsible for any personal injuries or damages that may result from the use of property or
services sold.
The school reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before actual sale. The school
reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. With the exception of the Live Auction, the
auction officials will act as final authority on any bidding dispute.
Unless otherwise specified by donors, all auction items and services must be used before May 14,
2012. All bid winners are asked to abide by these deadlines. Please note any expiration dates,
restrictions or special instructions on each item.
PAYMENT AND MERCHANDISE PICKUP
Payment by the successful bidder must be made in full on May 14, 2011, at the cashier area from
11:00 p.m. until closing at midnight. Only cash, checks made payable to The Avery Coonley
School, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express will be accepted. Any bidder not
satisfying payment criteria will forfeit the right to purchase the item. All auction items must be
taken the evening of the auction. A signature on a pick-up verification form is required prior to
receiving a certificate.
During the Live Auction, winning bidders will receive a receipt at their table for any Live
Auction items purchased. Purchasers of Party Boutique slots will be notified on post-auction
statements that are distributed the week after the auction.
LIVE AUCTION RULES
The Live Auction will begin at approximately 9:00 p.m. and will continue until all items have
been sold.
• All items in the Live Auction are numbered, and the auction will proceed by item number.
• Your registration folder contains your paddle number. This is your personal identification number for bidding.
• To enter a bid, signal the auctioneer by raising your paddle number.
• During the Live Auction, the auctioneer will determine the successful bidder. In the event
of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion in determining the successful bidder or in reoffering the item in dispute.
• To avoid disappointment, and as a courtesy to donors, winning bidders should contact the donors of vacation condos and homes, dinners, hotel packages, and all other services as soon as possible after the auction to make necessary arrangements. In some cases, the donors of items have determined a “reserve by date” that must be followed. Please abide by any item restrictions, including available dates, as required by the donor. If no restrictions are provided, all services must be used within one year of the auction (May 14, 2012).
• Auction donors are extremely generous. Please do not request changes to the items offered. Any questions about the item should be directed to the ACS Office of Development.

RULES REGARDING VACATION PROPERTIES
Donors of vacation condos and homes are sharing a very special possession with the auction.
All successful bidders of these properties are asked to treat these places with exceptional care
and respect.
• Auction properties are non-transferable and must be used by the winning bidders.
• Purchasers of vacation condos and homes may be asked to provide a refundable security
deposit and to sign an indemnification form and/or a use agreement with the donor.
A nominal cleaning charge may also be required.
• All properties are non-smoking and no pets are allowed.
• There may be other specific restrictions that will be presented on the bearer letter to the winning bidder.
SILENT AUCTION AND BIDPAL INFORMATION
BidPal, an electronic bidding system, will be used to facilitate bidding on all Silent Auction
items. During registration, guests receive a handheld device that is pre-loaded with all Silent
Auction items. Guests can browse the silent auction area in the gymnasium, view items on their
personal BidPal, and bid from anywhere, including the tent, at any time during the evening.
BidPal will allow guests to:
• Automatically watch favorite items.
• Place maximum bid amounts.
• Receive outbid alerts.
• View items with no bids.
• Receive instant notification of items won.
Assistance from BidPal representatives (who wear BidPal lanyards) will be available throughout
the evening. The Silent Auction will open at 6:00 p.m. and will close at 10:00 p.m.
PopPORTUNITY RULES
The POPportunity section of the ACS Auction is a raffle and includes a wide variety of high-end
items, services, and certificates. Ticket sales end at 10:00 p.m. and no additional tickets may
be added to boxes after 10:15 p.m., at which time the winners will be picked. Winners will be
identified on the ticket containers next to each POPportunity. The Office of Development will
contact any winners who are not present and arrange for pick-up of their prize(s). Otherwise,
winners must claim their prize(s) at the auction once the cashiers have opened.
PARTY BOUTIQUE RULES
The Party Boutique is a slot auction of themed events hosted by ACS families. Each guest slot is
available for purchase on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please note:
• The cost per slot is indicated at the top of the purchase sheet.

To avoid waiting in line to pay for purchases at the conclusion of the auction, guests can register
their credit card at the Express Pay table anytime between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. Visa, MasterCard,
Discover Card and American Express are accepted. At 11:00 p.m. guests can claim their items at
the check-out table. All purchasers will receive a receipt of purchases the week following
the auction.
TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF PURCHASES
The Internal Revenue Code requires The Avery Coonley School to inform auction patrons
of the tax deductibility of their auction contributions. If, with respect to any contribution
or purchase made by you to The Avery Coonley School, you receive goods or services, your
contribution is deductible for federal income tax purposes only to the extent that its value
exceeds the fair market value of the goods or services received by you.
For purposes of determining the tax deductibility for the purchase of auction items, the
following is advised:
• Dollar values listed in this catalog and its addendum are as stated by the donor or are the auction committee’s good faith estimate of each item’s fair market value.
• If there is no stated dollar value to an item, your post-auction statement from the school will include the school’s good faith estimate of value of any item for which the school is able to make such an estimate. If no good faith estimate of value can reasonably be made for an item, its fair market value is the price at which it is sold.
The cost of raffle tickets is not tax deductible. Raffle prizes that are (a) $600 or more and (b) at
least 300 times the amount of the wager are considered taxable income. The school is required
to file a W2G tax form. Forms will be distributed to raffle winners for whom tax reporting is
required on auction night. Completion of the form is required before the prizes can be released
to the winner.
Please consult your own tax advisor for further explanation or advice as to the tax deductibility
of your contributions to The Avery Coonley School.
