The Traverse City Cooperative Preschool wrote to thank the community for making its silent auction a huge success. The auction wouldn't have been such a success without the generous donations from local restaurants, businesses and individual contributors. Thanks go out to Connie Hope, Boone's, Scheldes, Cedar Tavern, JCPenney, Target, Mode' s, and the Hair House for their donations to the raffle. A special thank you also is sent to the member showmen directed by Kathy Booth, and the kitchen crew led by Brad Herzfeld. Money raised from special events always goes to charity.
Organizers consider their commitment to individuals and families in the community worthy of note.
