<P class="fontlook"><B>ANNUAL FUND UPDATE</B>

 

<P class="fontlook">“This year the enthusiasm surrounding the Annual Fund has been reflected in the support efforts shown early on by volunteers, trustees, faculty, staff, parents and alumnae.  Currently, the Annual Fund has reached $200,734 of the $700,000 goal.  Alumnae have given a total of $23,449 to-date, while over 50% of faculty and staff contributed to the Annual Fund prior to the official kick-off.  Several events have taken place this year including the Founder’s Cocktail on September 25, in which Carrollton’s Chairperson, Tony Argiz and his wife Conchy hosted a reception in their home in honor of the Annual Fund’s Founders Society, where members, new and returning, were celebrated for their generous leadership of the school’s annual initiative. 

 

<P class="fontlook">The efforts officially began with Carrollton’s Annual Fund Team gathered at the 2009-2010 Annual Fund kick off.  More than 120 parent, alumnae and faculty volunteers wrote personalized notes to the Carrollton Community encouraging 100% participation in this years’ Annual Fund.  Sr. Cooke celebrated the success of last year’s Annual Fund with 95% parent participation, 100% faculty participation and exceeding our goal of $700,000.  She also expressed her gratitude for the hard working, dedicated volunteers and the Parent Chair of the Annual Fund, Mrs. Nacira Gomez. 

<P class="fontlook">Each year the Annual Fund enables Carrollton to provide need-based scholarships, professional development for faculty and staff and exciting new curricular programs.  This year, Carrollton’s Annual Fund goal is $700,000 and 100% participation.
