Check out the groovy new donations that have just come in! Spend a fabulous weekend at “The Resort at Squaw Creek” in Squaw Valley? Too much excitement? How about a peaceful weekend at the “Green Gulch Farm Zen Center” in Muir Beach? Perhaps your idea of Zen would be to let your child join 19 other lucky winners for a “Pajama Party Extravaganza” with Dee and Selina while you enjoy some tranquility at home with a glass of wine. (A great selection so far from Cline Cellar’s Winery, Dutcher Crossing Winery, and the Brazen Head Block Party) Then there may be others whose idea of Zen would be getting under par while hitting the links at the Mill Valley Golf Club . These are just some of the great items that have been donated for Auction Night 2008!!
HOWEVER, WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!
Auction Night relies on your participation to be a success. We need more donations and all different types of donations are needed. There are lots of ways to donate or solicit donations. Tap into business relationships with your favorite local merchants for gift certificates. Get creative and have fun with friends planning and hosting a party. Parties have proven to be very popular with attendees and everyone has a great time. Auction Night loves sports and fun stuff for the kids so keep those autographed baseballs rolling in. Everyone enjoys going out so tickets to movies, plays, concerts, etc. are eagerly anticipated.
Donation forms can be found in the main office or downloaded here and completed forms can also be dropped off there. We have a running list of merchants who have already been solicited and that can be found in the office as well or email Mary Waluk at waluk1@aol.com with any questions.
A continued thanks to all of the people working diligently to keep those donations coming in. Special thanks to the previous winners of the Parking Space Prize:
1st Week - Jan Bolgla
2nd Week - Katie Yip
3rd Week - Lisa Terry
This week’s winner of the Parking Space is: Julie Boyadjian!!

Experience accommodations rivaling the magnificence of our alpine setting.
Resort at Squaw Creek offers luxurious accommodations with grand picture windows that reveal sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada range, ancient ponderosa forests and lush meadowlands.
With the recent $53 million renovation of our Lake Tahoe hotel, each of our 405 guest rooms, suites and penthouses has been remodeled to match our luxury resort’s new, more relaxed and residential feel. Muted tones and rich textures create an inviting ambiance that helps you feel at home - right here in the heart of the Sierra.
Ranging from deluxe rooms to fireside suites and bi-level penthouses, Resort at Squaw Creek can provide luxury lodging for parties from two to nine people. You’ll enjoy custom furnishings, slate entryways, ceramic-tiled bathrooms, granite vanities, and LCD flat-screen TVs. Our suites and penthouses also feature gas fireplaces and resort kitchens.
Chip Smith & Lisa Terry have generously donated a weekend stay at Resort at Squaw Creek in a fireside suite plus deluxe queen room (1 king, 2 queens, sofa bed, and small kitchen). ($1,000 value)

In celebration of the 70’s we’re going to be looking back at some of the more notable events from that decade. Some of you may know of or have heard the Mill Valley song by Miss Abrams and the fourth grade class. In 1970, Rita Abrams, a kindergarten teacher at our very own Strawberry Point School, wrote a song for her students to sing with her. Through a series of events, the song, entitled “Mill Valley” and sung by Rita and the then-third grade class of Strawberry Point School, was recorded and became a nationwide hit. (When the album was released, the kids were in fourth grade and the title was changed.) It was a national phenomenon with Miss Abrams and the kids touring across the country and making appearances on television and radio. You can read about it at the Rita Abrams Page.
