Since 1975, St. Pat&rsquo;s has sponsored a REACH (Religious Education A Catholic Heritage) dinner auction run by volunteers and dedicated staff to help fund critical school programs. Our theme is <em>REACH Reunion&hellip;Building on Generations for a Bright Future</em>. Our goal is to re-engage alumni, celebrate enrolled families, cherish parishioners, and introduce our school to prospective families. &nbsp;We are blessed to have Chris Gavin as our principal and our auction will highlight our wonderful school community.</span> <span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="text"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">We look forward to bringing the auction back to school this year. A preview reception to thank our sponsors, REACH Board, REACH Steering Committee, and past Chairs will be held at 5:00 pm in the library. Doors will open at 6:00 pm for the auction and registration will be in the library. </span></p> <p class="text"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="text"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">Dinner will be held in the gym and served family style. We will have limited, but strategic, live and silent auction items because we want to increase our revenue from the auction and we also want it to be a fun night for everyone who attends. We hired a great band, The Shy Boys, who play rock and roll. &nbsp;Jeans and dancing shoes are encouraged! </span></p> <p class="text"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="text"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">In addition to increasing our revenue on the live and silent auctions, we also hope to raise important needed funds for this year&rsquo;s Fund-an-Item.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="text"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span> </p> <p style="margin: 0in -9pt 0pt 0in;" class="text"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px;"><em>REACH Reunion&hellip;Building on Generations for a Bright Future</em> is our opportunity to support our beloved school.&nbsp; With your support, we will reach our goal to raise $300,000.
