Auction Recap

Whizz Bang - Gotta Go! certainly was a night to remember. Held at the very elegant Grand Hyatt Hotel in downtown Seattle, with Pat Cashman and his son Chris as auctioneers. The hotel staff was delighted that our community had such a great sense of humor, using plungers and toilet paper to emphasize our theme. Our own Jack Forman launched the evening with his transition from mild mannered guy to super hero "# 2"complete with air freshener antics.

Over $330,000 was raised to renovate the aging bathrooms in The Tower; The Teacher Excellence Fund and Financial Aid. This year was the first online auction which was very well received.

An exceptional team of volunteers used their experience and creativity to pull of this event, with the support of the entire UCDS community and lead by co-chairs Christine Atkins and Renata Tatman. There was much repressed "bathroom humor", and who knew that toilet paper could be such an elegant table centerpiece and a wonderful parting gift?

Thank you to all involved in the event for their hard work, creativity and humor.
