Fundraiser at CCC!!!

Dear CCC Community,

Our annual CCC auction is fast approaching. In the weeks of planning leading up to this event many parent volunteers, headed by the fundraising committee, are working like busy bees to make this event a great success. You might think that the money we raise in our fundraising efforts goes directly to our school. Think again! All money raised from our CCC auction goes to support our scholarship program. Our scholarship program allows families with special financial needs to join our community. What a great event to support. We hope that alumni and current families rally together to join the fun and spend their money on the wonderful items the fundraising committee has collected.

The Polynesian theme is perfect to set off the night. So come in your flower dresses, shirts, and leis. The greatly anticipated event is on Saturday April 16th from 6:00 to 10:00.

The food will be delicious and will be a combination of Hawaiian catered and homemade Hawaiian specialties (organized by Deedee (Meiko FY).


We will have two choice of music for the evening:
DJ CB & a live performance by The Kapalakiko Hawaiian Band. Please check them out on their website www.kapalakiko.org
