From the Facebook entry of one of our committee members prior to last night’s meeting

Looking forward to our Sinterklaas Fundraising Committee meeting this evening... or is it just an excuse for cocktails at sunset on the patio? Our hostess sure picked the absolutely perfect day!” And so it was: an evening full of wine, prosecco, munchies, and dedicated committee members.

We are on the move with our new Sinterklaas book (a must see and a must buy – details coming soon!) and conjuring up new ways to raise much-needed money...

Sinterfriends, you’ll see: the photos will transport you back to last year’s grand event... We need funds, funds, funds to do it again in 2009!

We need your support and your help. Check in with the website often, and be sure to sign up for our Sinterklaas newsletter! You can also join us on Facebook or Twitter.
