HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Villa friends,

Dear Villa Community,

Welcome to Neon Garden, Villa Academy's 2022 Benefit Auction!

Tonight, we celebrate and support Villa and our transformational mission, people, and programs. Everything we do tonight empowers our creative, thoughtful, curious students and teachers.

We are here tonight because we know Villa Academy is more than just a school—it's a remarkable ecosystem of nurturing educators and dedicated staff who inspire our students to blossom into bright, capable, and compassionate world citizens. This evening, we pay tribute to what we sow together as a community. Every day, our campus challenges and encourages our children to cultivate their curiosity, germinate their ideas, and grow without limits. It brings me overwhelming joy to watch my children's confidence flourish at Villa, best exemplified by their skills mastery developed in each grade. For example, their 1st-grade Love Notes—creative, holistic, and social-emotional-focused reading and writing— only affirms Villa's valuable education. Spring's seasonal arrival amplifies these feelings of growth —the opportunity to keep our school's roots nourished, resilient, and thriving serves as tonight's theme, as demonstrated by our beautiful Neon Garden. Tonight, please join me in honoring the tireless efforts of dozens of volunteers and donors who made our Auction possible. I invite all of us to tend to our community garden, our beloved Villa, to contribute generously and invest in our people who nurture our children's futures. Together, our combined actions ensure a stronger present and more vibrant legacy. If anything, the past two years have proven our community's strength as we have met unprecedented challenges with unprecedented vigor. Your unwavering support of Villa continues to serve as a shining light in our darkest of times. Indeed, your steadfast commitment burns brightly tonight—it's a palpable energy, the flashing neon all around us, the uncontainable joy in this room, and the gratitude we share. We are all rooted in Villa, and the swell of our pride, motivated by the pursuit of excellence, will keep us firmly planted in what we know to be good and true. So, raise a toast and a paddle, celebrate each other, and make our garden bloom! With gratitude, JoAnna Jose, 2022 Auction Chair

Of course, an auction and party of this magnitude do not simply occur—it takes a village of volunteers to produce such an exquisite event. Whether painting giant tree branches, gathering desserts for our dash, calling on neighborhood businesses, or donating fabulous items, every contribution worked in unison to make tonight so much fun for all of us. Special recognition this year goes out to our gracious, organized, and hard-working auction chair, JoAnna Jose. She has steadfastly assembled and coordinated a collaborative team that made this evening possible. Thanks to her leadership, this event evolved from the seed of an idea to the lush, inspiring, magical moment that we are sharing together right now. This year we also take great pleasure in welcoming our next Head of School, Dr. Liz Willis, to her first official Villa Auction. I encourage you to find a moment to say hello and become better acquainted. Tonight’s Raise-the-Paddle will be dedicated to the Special Capital Campaign to raise funds to purchase an appropriate parcel of the Sisters’ land. Expanding upon Villa's property line is contingent upon the collective power of our generous community's participation—every dollar counts as much as everyone's involvement. Your support affords us the incredible opportunity to ensure that our commitment to excellence in whole-child education remains enriched by other permanent outdoor education experiences. Our affordability is a question of that power, not simply a parcel. The Land Task Force, serving as our trusted stewards, will leverage the total donation in Villa's best financial interests—our fundraising initiatives are more important than ever to put forth the strongest proposal. What we do together tonight will set the stage for current and future Villa students for generations to come. Neon Garden is more than an auction this year—it's a long-overdue opportunity for our community to celebrate together and unify under this call to action to expand our beloved school's property line and envision a new legacy—a legacy that tonight’s themes of growth and light encapsulate remarkably. Finally, I hope you have a fantastic evening tonight, catching up with old friends, making new ones, and in the end, feeling part of something extraordinary. Sincerely, Julie Thenell Grasseschi, Interim Head of School

His work won 1st place in the 2020 Art2Life International Juried Art Exhibition and was the winner of the ITSLIQUID Int’l Contest 10th Edition 2021 Art Exhibition in Barcelona.

Details: • Up to 48 by 60 inches • Select a style from his current painting series and customize it with your own personal color palette (https://nino.studio/collections/originals)

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Yayoi Kusama Limited Edition in Gift Box 2012

Best of DeLille Cellars

A unique limited edition of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012 designed by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama!

Enjoy this assorted case featuring some of DeLille’s finest wine-club selections, including white, rosé, and red!

It is with its iconic symbols, the flower and the polka dots, that Yayoi Kusama adorns La Grande 2012 gift box and bottle. The polka dots, Yayoi Kusama’s signature patterns, evoke the Champagne bubbles. Created in honor of Madame Clicquot, called “La Grande Dame de Champagne” in her time, La Grande Dame perfectly expresses the Maison’s love for Pinot Noir.

DeLille Cellars, a pioneer of Bordeaux-style blends, is considered a principal influence in establishing Washington as a premier viticultural region with a strong tradition of quality and excellence over it’s 29-year history.

Initial notes of white flowers on the nose, such as jasmine, honeysuckle, and vine flowers can be felt and then opens with fruitier nuances of apple, pear, and peach. A few notes of fresh almond and frangipane complete the bouquet. In the mouth, the cuvée reveals more complex aromas: dried apricot, hazelnuts, honey, and sugar candy. Silky textures give the wine its personality, elegance, and character. The aging has imparted particular depth and power to the wine. With a slight preponderance of Pinot Noir in the blend, this wine is rich and impressive. It is still young, with a crisp edge that makes the fruit shine. Apple and citrus flavors are integrated into a mineral vein. Drink from 2022. - Wine Enthusiast

Value: $250.00

Highlights include: • 2019 Signature Syrah

Matthews Cellars Vertical

Four Bottle Cayuse Horizontal

If you love Washington Cabs, look no further!

Perhaps you've heard the most mythical story...

This vertical features 2017, 2018, and 2019 Matthews Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, all crafted from several vineyards across multiple AVAs in Washington State including Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, and the Walla Walla Valley. Farmed using sustainable practices, the vines were limited to one or two clusters per shoot for maximum concentration. Time to braise some beef for a delicious pairing and open these up for a night to remember!

...how the young French Vigneron visited the then little-known town called Walla Walla, and fell in love with a few acres of seemingly useless, stone-covered farmland. While the nay-sayers nayed, Christophe Baron deftly turned that field of stones into the acclaimed Cayuse Vineyards. And the rest, as they say, is history— and a whole lot of spectacular wine. The below have all been perfectly cellared since their release—you don't want to miss this opportunity! Details: • 1 bottle 2014 Cayuse God Only Knows Grenache (97 points - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate) • 1 bottle 2014 Cayuse Armada Syrah (99 points - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate) • 1 bottle 2014 Cayuse Bionic Frog Syrah - a cult wine (100 points - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate) • 1 bottle 2014 Cayuse En Chamberlin Syrah (96+ points - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate)

A special wine for special summertime BBQs with friends and family!

Enjoy a luscious, full-bodied wine from Columbia Valley, Washington.

“The flagship is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon mostly from Champoux with the balance from Palengat and Wallula vineyards. Crème de cassis, graphite, black licorice, unsmoked tobacco, and hints of chocolate emerge from this beauty and it continues to gain depth and nuance with time in the glass. Full-bodied, deep, and layered with an incredible purity and elegance on the palate, it’s already accessible but has more than enough tannin, depth, and balance to evolve for two decades or more.”

Mark Ryan makes a small production of sought-after wines, selected intentionally for their merit and potential. 2019 Lucia Rose in a specialty wood box—available only to Mark Ryan DeadHorse club members. Lucia Rose is named after his daughter and is Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Fran and Merlot.

In the gourmet kitchen, you’ll find stainless steel appliances, a dual range oven, and granite countertops.

Reserved Parking for a Year The gift that keeps on giving! The Italian Dinner is always packed, Illuminata draws a bigger crowd every year, the Christmas programs are an absolute sea of people, and literally everyone and their grandmother comes to Grandparents Day.

Raise the Paddle Tonight’s Raise-the-Paddle will be dedicated to the Special Capital Campaign to raise funds to purchase an appropriate parcel of the Sisters’ land. Expanding upon Villa’s property line is contingent upon the collective power of our generous community’s participation—every dollar counts as much as everyone’s involvement. Your support affords us the incredible opportunity to ensure that our commitment to excellence in whole-child education remains enriched by additional permanent outdoor education experiences, and our affordability is a question of that power, not simply a parcel. The Land Task Force, serving as our trusted stewards, will leverage the total donation in Villa’s best financial interests—our fundraising initiatives are more important than ever to put forth the strongest proposal.

What we do together tonight will set the stage for current and future Villa students for generations to come.
