• Helping parents and teachers work together to provide programs, opportunities and funds to benefit SBS students.
• The PTA Executive Board is made up of parents who are charged with leading this effort. In addition to representing the interests of the students, the PTA is responsible for much of the school's fundraising efforts, and sponsors a number of special events and programs for SBS students and their families.
• The PTA relies on the generosity and dedication of countless volunteers, parents, faculty and staff who share their time and talents. We also rely on the generosity and loyalty of our local businesses that provide financial support for our events and fundraising efforts.

We are pleased to announce that St. Benedict’s Ladies Night Out is being reimagined and our
new date is Friday, September 25th at 6:00 pm. The evening will include an al fresco dining experience at Limoncello in the Gardens of Piazza di Roma in Aberdeen.

Guests will be surrounded by a glamorous gift auction and much more. For everyone’s health and
wellness, a social distanced environment will be established with the proper safety measures in place
during these unprecedented times.

If any of our confirmed guests cannot attend the event, we kindly ask that you consider making your
ticket purchase a donation to the school and in exchange we’ll provide you with a complimentary gift
auction ticket package creating the opportunity for you to win great prizes. Our goal is to raise a
significant amount of funds to support the many new initiatives that are much needed to create an
exceptional learning environment for the students and faculty at St. Benedict’s. We are all reimaging a
better world for our community as we adapt to today’s environment.

Please note that if you truly would prefer a refund, this will happen after the funds are raised at the
event.

Stay tuned for additional details and a program showcasing all of the generously donated gift items. We
will be opening up an additional option to the new event that will include the opportunity to purchase
gift auction raffle tickets even if you are not attending the event as well as a sneak peak the day of so all
can take part of this program.

Thank you for your patience and a special thanks to all who made contributions to the over 100
beautiful gift items whether financially or with their countless acts of charitable kindness.

With Regards & Appreciation,
St. Benedict’s PTA and Gift Auction Committee
