BID YOUR HEART OUT | letter to our guests

Dear Very Special Guests, Welcome to the Notre Dame Schools’ 19th annual Bid Your Heart Out Auction/Dinner/Dance.

Our talented auction committee has planned a very special evening for you. Tonight will begin with a cocktail hour and dinner. Our evening includes many fun events, including the live Grand Auction, a Silent Auction, Titan Treasures, a Wine Pull, and the Golden Ticket drawing. We will close with celebration and dancing with our live special guest DJ. As we celebrate our 19th year of our Bid Your Heart Out Auction, we reflect on the generosity of the Portsmouth area. Thank you very much to all those who have helped make this special event possible.

Each year we continue to be humbled and amazed by the support we receive from the community, local businesses and the Notre Dame Family.

The Notre Dame Bid Your Heart Out Auction not only serves as one of the primary fundraising initiatives for our schools, but is also a wonderful and fun filled tradition and community event. The purpose of the “BYHO” Auction is to support excellence in education at the Notre Dame Schools. All the monies raised tonight helps to bridge the gap between what tuition covers and the actual cost of the overall operating budget at both buildings.

Tonight’s event is made possible by our amazing Notre Dame Family of volunteers, supporters, staff, and students. Our auction committee has spent long hours making this event an exciting evening for you, our guests. We greatly appreciate you as you come and “Bid Your Heart Out”. Our goal is for you to have an evening filled with fun, fellowship and giving as we raise money for our Notre Dame Schools.

ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE NOTRE DAME SCHOOLS, WE EXTEND OUR SINCERE GRATITUDE FOR YOUR CONTINUED GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT. WITH YOUR HELP, WE CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE OUR PAST AND EMBRACE OUR FUTURE. MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. Michelle Ashley Elementary Principal

final item | painting // value priceless Tonight‘s final auction item is an ink and watercolor artwork made by Rhonda Hamilton. This large scale piece was created through crosshatching; a series of lines made with pen. These lines are as numerous as the lives that the Notre Dame family is capable of reaching, but only through generous donations like yours this evening. The subject matter is three buildings; the physical structures that play an important role in the education of a Notre Dame student, and now is the time to recognize the impact and need of these physical structures in the future of our students. We are certainly blessed that students at Notre Dame have their needs nurtured beyond this, as our teachers and administrators provide much more than a building for our children to thrive and grow within, but our children deserve all we can provide them. This piece truly exemplifies parts of a whole and it is our hope that it will inspire you to do your part in keeping the Notre Dame tradition alive for those in the past, for our current students, and for all of the future Titans. sponsored by Notre Dame Development & Rhonda Hamilton
