A lovely evening to Celebrate Hopkins!

On Saturday evening, April 16, about 400 guests shared enthusiasm, good fare, and School spirit, all while helping to raise $200,000 for Hopkins at the "Celebrate Hopkins!" 2011 Parent Council Auction. Auction chairs, Janet Lewis, Carole Quental, and Lynnette Roth, and a very strong committee of volunteers, created a magical experience for the Hopkins parent community to come together with faculty, staff, and some alums. Student Council representatives served an array of foods from local restaurants and the three a cappella groups along with the Honors Choir provided first class entertainment. Parents, David Bailin and Bruce Barber continued the wonderful tradition they began last year as auctioneers, leading the live auction to great success. A highlight of the evening was support of the Endowed Fund for Faculty Development, this year with particular focus on sabbaticals. Parents responded enthusiastically to Barbara Riley’s request for these gifts, and to accounts from faculty Cilla Kellert and Eric Mueller, recent beneficiaries of the sabbatical experience. Each year, Celebrate Hopkins highlights the passion and energy Hopkins parents have for the School. Many thanks to the organizers and volunteers; the individuals, businesses and vendors who donated their goods and services; and to all those who attended and supported the Auction.
