you know I love a good party. and I especially love a party for a great cause.
in 1996, flagstaff arts & leadership academy became one of flagstaff’s first (I think it was the first, actually) charter schools, focusing on music, performing and visual arts. what, a school that is fine with me playing clarinet for half the day? genius!
I was a senior that year and didn’t want to change schools, and I was jealous of my younger sister that she got to attend such an amazing school. her experience was nothing less than top-notch and I was grateful that she got such a great education in high school. back then, they were meeting in portable trailers on the museum of northern arizona campus, hoping for new grounds by the time she graduated in 2000.
it’s been 14 years and fala still needs their new campus! a very generous donor has offered the school $20,000 if they can raise a match from the community. enter the gala! come on out on friday, march 26th at 7 pm to celebrate and help raise money for this very worthy cause! it will be a fun evening of delicious food, drink, entertainment, and a fabulous silent and live auction items.
tickets are just $20 and your ticket purchase includes plentiful hors d’oeuvres and one complimentary drink. the event will be held at:
museum of northern arizona, branigar/chase discovery center
3101 n. fort valley rd. (off highway 180)
flagstaff, az 86001
