A Special Thank You From MHS Class of 2016

By all accounts, the kids had a terrific time at the Junior Prom, and the Class of 2016 Frolic Fundraiser that evening was wonderfully successful as well. In fact, there are many thank-yous in order, beginning and ending with Barbara and Karlo Duvnjak, who SO VERY generously opened their beautiful home to the entire grade. Our more than gracious hosts welcomed food, drinks, prizes, more snow (!) and well over 100 guests. They made everything easy and fun, and we could not have done it without them.
Likewise, we could not have pulled off such a fun and successful evening without the myriad of volunteers who donated so much, including their time. A special thank you to Laura Tranchina for coordinating all our volunteers, as well as Kelly Towers, Bob Gold, Kim Martin, Donna Terjesen, Loretta Abbraciamento, Craig Anderson, Diane Boyadjian, Cathyann Boyle, Mike Ferraro and all the parents who helped out at the event by setting up, cleaning up and everything in between, including Maureen Murphy, Keith Zenobio, Trish Kelly, Justine Lennon, Lisa Eletto, Christine Roberts, Kevin and Michele Brady, Kathleen Barry, Kathy Quinn and Caroline Kenlon.
Tasty treats were provided Peg Markham, Donna Gillis, Caroline Kenlon, Mary Beth Harris, Ellen Albrechtsen, Pam Gallo, Joanne Weilep, Marirose Merola, Pam Kenlon and Tara Baranello.
Our auction baskets were creative and beautiful and made for fun and enthusiastic ticket buying. Heartfelt thanks to Eileen Cuneo, Liz Blaney, Kathleen Barry, Elene Farrell, Eleanor Hannon, Lori Kearns, Kristin Mulholland, Lauren DeCastro, Scott Wysota, Alice Guaraglia, JoJo Conlan and the Lennon family for their contributions.
Finally, we would like to thank La Coquille, Whole Foods Manhasset, Bayside Milk Farm, our creative wontons from www.WatChuWanWonton.com, A&F Market, Raeder’s Wines & Liquors, Black Tie Wine & Spirits, Hicks Nurseries, Pure Barre and Elegant Affairs for their generous donations of food and auction items. Let’s continue to thank these generous establishments with our patronage.
We look forward to enjoying other activities and events with such a wonderful group of parents over the course of the next year and a half, as our children continue to enjoy and make memories at Manhasset High School.
