Gift Auction for special needs prom

  The Point Pleasant Elks will be sponsoring a gift auction fundraiser to help offset the costs for the annual Special Needs Prom, held for the Life Skills Program students in the Point Pleasant Borough High School. This year the prom is to be held at the Spring Lake Manor in early May. This is a unique opportunity for the students to participate in and experience a prom just for them. These students look forward to this experience year round; as the event draws nearer, they discuss what to wear, learn dance steps in class, anticipate their first limo ride, and await dancing the night away.  In order to make this experience a success, we are turning to the community, and ask your support. You can help by participating in our gift auction fundraiser by adopting a basket, donating items toward a basket, or creating one of your own. Both we and the students would gladly appreciate any items you can donate; all proceeds will go toward the expenses for the prom.  The gift auction will be held Friday, February 28, 2014 at the Point Pleasant Elks. We ask that all donations reach either Anne Gearing or Phyllis Thomson no later than Wednesday, February 18th. Please call or email Anne at (732) 330 – 8058 or abkgearing@aol.com to discuss arrangements for picking-up items or if you have any questions or concerns. You could also ship item (s) to my home: Anne Gearing 828 Lincoln Ave Pine Beach, NJ 08741 or school listed below. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Fondly, TICKETS ON SALE NOW!!
