Ann Vernon
The talent in our SaddleBrooke communities never ceases to amaze me, and that talent was very evident at a “fun fall festival” that was held at the home of Mary Jo and Barry Swartzberg, co-hosted by Sue Schliepsiek and Ann Vernon. Mary Jo had invited 11 artists to showcase their jewelry, mosaic pieces, ceramics, paintings, note cards, napkins, and woven wool pieces. Attendees sipped on wine and ate canapés and yummy desserts as they perused the various displays. Not only did they purchase treasures from the artists, but they also made monetary contributions (totaling over $2,000) to the Oracle Schools Foundation, which is very much appreciated.
The Foundation was formed over 10 years ago with the primary mission of helping fund preschool. Research clearly shows that early childhood education is vital to future success in school and beyond. The Foundation is proud to contribute $121,000 this year so that 45 preschoolers can get a jump start on their education.
In addition to events such as this, we hold a Spring Fling Gala featuring silent, fixed price events, and a live auction. Mark Saturday, March 14 on your calendar and plan to attend to support a worthwhile cause. For more information and to sign up for the Gala, check our website at oracleschoolsfoundation.com.
