The FCDSN Annual Auction Gala will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010.  Mark your calendars today and plan on attending our first major fundraising event for 2010.  Our 15th Annual Auction Gala promises to be another fun-filled evening of friendly competition, all in the name of raising money to support the programs that FCDSN is proud to offer its members. 

             With financial support from our members and the community, we are able to continue to sponsor programs for our members, such as our Social Groups,  Parent Support Meetings & workshops, our Day Long Conference, Newsletter mailing, Birth Packet distribution, and our Cash Reimbursement programs.

Our auction is held at the Ridgemont Country Club located at 3717 Ridge Road West in Greece.  This is an adult-only formal evening event and there will be a cash bar available throughout the evening.  The Auction Gala is open to all members of the community, as well as all FCDSN members.  Your participation is essential to hosting a successful event.  In addition to a delicious buffet dinner, there will be a fun-filled and fast-paced live auction, a Silent Auction, DJ Chris Scribani, and Raffle tickets.
