We haven't had the opportunity to say "Thank You" for your donations, because the computer crashed. Now that we're back up and running, we just want to say we appreciate all of the donations received. You can check out what we have,(and some items are repeat favorites: a exclusive parking spot on Loomis Place; the opportunity to walk Yale's sports mascot, the bulldog known as "Handsome Dan" or have portraits made, either by camera or by hand)by going to the links section on the right side of this page, and click on 'see auction items'. In case you haven't heard,you can sign up to volunteer under the same link and also purchase tickets there.

Volunteering, Anyone?

We're Doing What the IRS Won't..

We're giving you an EXTENSION! It just so happens that this year you have until April 18th to file your taxes and this year, FIESTA GLOBAL is giving you until next Tuesday the 19th,to donate your item, or items,to the Foote School's Annual Spring Fundraiser. As you may know from years past, one of the evening's highlights is the auction, and your contribution makes that happen. So many of us lead such busy lives that sometimes, even when events are'penciled in' , we still miss them! So, since you're already on the page, just look to your right and under links, click on "auction forms to download". Take advantage of our extenstion to donate your item, and watch your 'contribution' help Foote School grow!

April 15th

Most of the time, April 15th means one thing--dare I say it?--taxes ! But this year, at least, it stands for another significant deadline: the last day to donate an auction item to Fiesta Global! Its very simple: just go to the column on the right, and under 'links', click on auction forms to download, fill it out and turn it in to the Main Office. That's all. And take the time to peruse the auction link,as we'll will start adding more items there on a daily basis, so you'll have an idea as to what items are available. After all, its a great way to use that tax refund.

Finally...

The weather is warming up! As it is said in "Annie",..."there'll be SUN!!!!"

We hope you got a warm, sunny feeling when your invitation arrived for "Fiesta Global!" As you've heard, its this year's theme for the annual spring fundraiser at Foote. Billed as a "Parent's Night Out" (oh, yeah!), it will be featuring-as always-good food, a great "mercardo"( that's marketplace for those of us brushing up on our Espanol), and some fantastic latin rhythms! And don't forget--you can check out some auction items here, and if you don't have your tickets yet, you can purchase them right here...Viva La Fiesta-Viva Foote!
