My kids school – the Cape Fear Center for Inquiry – is doing a silent auction on Saturday and I'm helping to find donated items to sell in it. If you run a local business and want a little promotion, this is a great opportunity to put your product in front of a large group of active local families. The entire school population will get a look at the goods before the actual auction takes place so you'll have the eyeballs of more than just the family that places the winning bid. Restaurant gift certificates, services, anything you can think of that we can sell at an auction would be welcome.
CFCI is a terrific magnet school on Randal Parkway that offers "project-based" instruction for Kindergarten through middle school. We tried lots of local schools (and home schooling) before we landed here and we absolutely love it. The teachers are amazing and the school is willing to experiment to find the learning style, trick, or tool that helps each kid excel. I can't say enough good things about the place. And the parents are very active.
So this is a great cause. Let me know (Christina [at] wilmaville [dot] com) if you have anything you would like to donate to the auction and I'll take it from there.
I went to the auction and bid on your book, twice, but I lost. Rats. About CFCI, I have to agree it is a gem of a school. The building needs to be changed, but the teachers and admin are really great, lots of nice kids, diversity, and I think the school is actually getting even better with the new leadership. My two love school, and that is about the best I can hope for.
