Meet some of the Performers who have been working hard behind the scenes to get that circus train moving down the tracks
Webmaster
In a never before seen act of heroic magnificence, Gene Becker with assistance from Virginia Taylor, Alison Poetsch,
and Robert Finney created The Giving Arcade. The illustrious Giving Arcade
is a spectacular addition to the auction’s webpages, making donating to our beloved school astonishingly easy! As you look upon the veritable vision he’s created, you will see that Gene’s brilliance is without compare. Haven’t visited the auction online yet? Please do! You won’t believe your eyes! www.woodsidepriory.com/auction.
This quintet of astonishing acrobats, Virginia Taylor, Carrie Caballero, Colleen Kosling, Cheryl Neckowitz, and Alison Poetsch, have been working around the clock to bring to the auction awe-inspiring items for you to bid on. An extra somersault salute to Hugh Cornish (who refused to wear the costume in the group photo) for “working the carnie booth” and bringing in advertising dollars for this wonderful and worthy cause. Look to the pages that follow for a sneak peak of what will be under the Big Top May 2nd at the CIRCUS!
Solicitations
This amazing husband and wife act (displaying remarkable intelligence in entirely new performances) has the pleasure of being surrounded by truly great performers, helping them fly through the air with the greatest of ease. With this daring duo in center ring, it’s a fearless frolic with Fate!
The opening act of the spectacular event will be performed by Michelle Rapp, Roberta Landers, and Joan Harlem. With their clever contortions, they bring
to you all you could imagine in circus delight. A lavish display of color and light! A miraculous menagerie of parading animals! A breathtaking wonderland of circus
fun! Be sure to bring your camera, as the stories of such beauty will not be believed!
Data E
ntry
In her tireless pursuit of perfection, Data Chair Martha Dannis has made her “high wire act”, of adopting entirely new auction software, appear to be an effortless thing of beauty! Bravo to Martha and her team of volunteers. Martha has been boldly joined in this terrifying act by Rhonda Hyver, Francine Roy, Jeannie Bickell, Sally Souders and Eileen DiGiorgio.
Communications
The brawn behind the beauty are two gracious and giving gentlemen. Sean Mclain Brown (to the right in the
photo) is the mysterious mastermind turning many of the auction dreams into reality! With a twinkle in his eye, he expertly juggles each ball that is thrown
to him. Sean is the Director of Communications at the Priory and the ingenious originator behind the beloved Chi Chi videos! Roars of “Oscar!
Oscar!” can be heard from the crowd.
Jim Kirkland (to the left in photo) has been working patiently, persistently and prolifically on the auction’s thrilling designs The spellbinding auction logo, the
spectacular auctioninsert(inthelastissueofPriorities magazine) and the electrifying invitation are all the result of his creative cranium.
