All Star Bash - Auction Catalog by Brandon Westerman

Dear Friends, Thank you for supporting Episcopal by attending our All Star Bash. We are glad you have joined us for this relaxed evening of celebration in support of ESJ. This is our second casual Bash event, designed to give our community the opportunity to celebrate in a different way from the more formal Celebration fundraiser held in alternate years. Special thanks to the Bash 2014 Chair Frances Poitevent Hutto, a 1988 graduate of Episcopal, current parent and ESJ “All Star” in her own right. Frances and the outstanding Bash committee worked very hard throughout the year to make this creative and fun-filled evening come to fruition. In addition, we are grateful to the many volunteers who have devoted their time and talents to the success of this event. Your generosity tonight will help Episcopal continue to provide the excellent educational background that truly makes our students “All Stars.” Have a wonderful evening, and, as always, please bid high! Sincerely,

Charley Zimmer Head of School
