NAPA, Calif. –This year, the Lasallian Education Fund and our Gala Committee have decided to take a new approach to our Brother Timothy Legacy “Change One, Change One Thousand” charitable gala celebration. In view of the economy and the time demands upon many of us, we have decided to change the previously announced April 23, 2009 event and go “Party Light” for 2009. As a result, we are going to hold a charitable fundraiser without the party, and, in lieu thereof, we ask you for your contribution to support an extremely important legacy and mission.
In the Napa Valley we have a lot of charitable events, but this time we are going to suggest you save your resources and time in attending this particular traditional event, and, instead, place your heart and pocketbook into a charitable contribution which will have little “overhead” and “party expense” associated with it.
With our “Party Light” approach we have designed three ways you can support Lasallian Education Fund:
- A donation to Scholarship Funds
- A purchase of Brother Timothy Wine
- Purchasing something on our exclusive on-line silent auction
Memorial celebration for the Brother Timothy Campaign bronze plaque and donor wall will be held during in the fall of 2009 (date/details to be advised). All gifts to this scholarship drive above $2,500 will be recognized on the donor wall to be permanently displayed at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone.
Please help us reach our goal of $787,500 to support these 63 legacy students. We will confirm and share our success with you after May 15.
With our deepest gratitude for your support,
 
Margaret Duckhorn Michael Mulcahy
2009 Honoree President
