A Final Word from the Chair:

&

I hope you join us this coming Saturday evening. The evening promises great fun, high spirits, fabulous food & drink and wonderful camaraderie. Winter Street Studios is a unique venue that provides the perfect space for our event and reflects the artistic, urban aspects of our community. There are over 400 items on which to bid: from brewery tours to batteries, museum memberships to mosquito misting, and summer camps to camping gear. Learn to fly, sail, surf, dance, and cook or just sit back and be entertained with tickets to the ballet, the Rockets, and the Rodeo or with an installation of a flat panel TV. My most sincere thanks to everyone who has given so generously of themselves with their time, talents, donations and encouragement. Travis has an amazing community that is truly special and of which I am so proud to be a part. I know this night and the results will be as spectacular as ever as we Come Together, raising funds to support and compliment the fabulous programs our wonderful Travis teachers and staff provide each & every day. All You Need is Love to get you there!
