Craft Fair a Huge Success Thanks to Community’s Volunteerism

BFS was definitely the place to be this past Saturday. Our Annual Crafts Fair was a huge success: the lower gym was filled to capacity with vendors; we sold out of poinsettias and wreaths; barely any of the children’s crafts were left at the end of the day; and the upper gym rang with laughter as our kids (and some adults) climbed the obstacle course. We heard wonderful jazz music courtesy of our talented upper school students and ate delicious meals and treats prepared by our very own families. Who could ask for more?

Special thanks are due to Trente Miller for solely organizing the Carnival Games in the upper gym, to Joan Martin for her assistance with publicity including posters, the event brochure and surprising us with the outdoor banner, to Helene Benedetti for designing our beautiful poster, to Erin Kelly for coordinating food for hungry shoppers, to Sara Soll for organizing the children's crafts, to Susan Antoniou for coordinating the bake sale, to Janette O'sullivan for procuring the lovely holiday plants, to Carla Precht for organizing the Toy Drive, to Mary Frost, Marisa Farina, and Tara Gustafson for their assistance with both internal and external publicity, to Adam Sturm for creating (and hanging) the first BFS outdoor event banners, to our cafeteria staff for preparing the food and serving those hungry shoppers, to Mike Pellechio for his financial know-how, and to the entire maintenance staff for their hard work and long hours spent assisting us before, during and after the event. 

We are especially grateful to our PAT Co-Presidents John Major and Toukie Smith for their unfailing assistance and support, and the many families and students listed below (over 120!) who cooked, baked, put up posters, staffed the games, sold tickets, ran the food concessions, wrapped gifts, and helped with set up and clean up. We couldn't have done it without all of you.

—Joanne Casey & Wynne Noble, PAT Craft Fair Co-Chairs
