From the President
-Eric Stevens, CARDS President

Corbett is a small tight knit community located at the mouth of the Historic Columbia River Gorge just across the Sandy River from the Gresham - Troutdale community.

The Corbett School district enrolls over 650 children from kindergarten through high school. Students attend one of three schools located on a single campus. Students, teachers and parents work together to provide an atmosphere of personal development and academic achievement. The extended community of families, alumni, alumni families, and friends number in the thousands. Our schools have received both national and local recognition for outstanding student achievement, high quality progressive education and athletic success. Our recent graduates are attending some of the finest colleges in the nation as they prepare themselves for future success in life. On Thursday March 6th, 2008 at 5:30 pm The Corbett Schools Booster Club will be hosting its 2nd Annual Red & Black Dinner Auction to raise funds for athletics and other extracurricular activities.

This community event features products, gift certificates and services donated by area businesses, families and the kids themselves. All auction proceeds are used to provide essential funding for our athletic and other extracurricular activities that are critical to developing well-rounded students and leaders of tomorrow. These programs would not exist without the generous support and dedication from the Corbett and surrounding communities. We are asking local companies who do business with Corbett School families to consider providing a donation for our auction. As a donor you will be featured in our Auction Listings booklet and highlighted as a supporter of Corbett Cardinal Athletics. We appreciate and value business support and have found that participation can be an effective form of advertisement for your business. We also gladly accept cash donations to help underwrite the cost of this event. Enclosed is a procurement donation form. The dinner auction procurement process will conclude February 29th, 2008. The Corbett Schools Booster Club is a non-profit corporation; our tax ID number is 20-5658787.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration. Your commitment to the children in our community and the Corbett educational and athletic programs is greatly appreciated. If you have any question please contact me at 503 695-5575.

Sincerely

Eric Stevens
