PCA Ball Silent Auction

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, April 7! We will celebrate the PCA Ball starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Taj Coromandel. This year's theme is Roaring 20s, so start looking around for some fun clothing. One of the key components of the evening is the silent auction. Such hits from last year was the American Craft Beer cooler, A Good Earth basket, a French food and champagne basket, Owl Lanterns, and much, much more.

We also feature at the silent auction faculty art, experiences and trips. Here is a selection of what parents and companies have offered in PAST years:

• Garden Consultation
• A variety of food and baked goods
• Items for their country basket
• Art work
• Massage
• Furniture
• Hotel stays 

We are looking for parents to help us connect with local business to offer a unique experience or items.

• Behind the scenes of a movie set
• Tour of a manufacturing plant
• Airline tickets
• Other high-end items that our community might enjoy 

We also ask faculty to offer experiences, which are always well-received and enjoyed.

Please let Kirsten Welbes at wkirsten@aischennai.org know if you are interested in offering an item or experience at the PCA Ball. Email me the:

• title
• description
• the "cost" of the item or experience
• photo or prop to accompany the bid sheet 

Tickets can be purchased at the Main and Elementary Entrances. Tickets are 4000 rupees, and tables have seats for 10. Please reserve your table today!

If you have any questions about the silent auction or the ball, don't hesitate to ask Kirsten or the PCA Team.

Proceeds from the PCA Ball Silent Auction go towards the PCA Distinguished Visitors Fund, which supports bringing in a range of experts to inspire our students. This year it helps fund: Missoula Children's Theater, Bill Harley and Dr. Kofi, a musician who will be coming in April.

Silent Auction Update

Come check out the five foot Ayyanar horse that is being created for the silent auction, You can view the artist creating his masterpiece, right here on campus, in the space between the High School library and the field. Come check it out!

The Ayyanar Courtyard Is Coming!

This summer, AISC is also renovating the courtyard outside the FAC where the large Ayyanar horse stands. This renovation gives us the opportunity to create a new space and allows the AISC community to leave their mark!

Parents, alumni, students, faculty and community partners are welcome to customize a message or an image that they would like to have engraved on a stone tile that will be placed in the courtyard.

The walkways and center picnic table areas will be paved with non-engraved stone tiles.

Please note that faculty, alumni, families and communities can create their message or image collaboratively.

We will be accepting submissions and payment through April 15. With verification of stone tiles occurring between then and June 1. The stone tiles will be laid in the ground over the summer.

The excess funds generated from this project will go to create an Annual Fund, which will support student opportunities, facilities improvements and distinguished visitors.

These stone tiles are forever. This is a great opportunity to leave your and your family's mark at AISC!

Sign up to reserve your stone tile today!
