I am very excited to have you join us here at Divine Child. Our administrators, faculty members and students are looking forward to having you experience this year’s sensational extravaganza! So many people have dedicated themselves to this event’s planning and transformation of the high school into a place of fun and giving. First and foremost, by coming together to donate their time and talents to the success of this annual event, our staff and volunteers are a shining example of the Divine Child community joining together to build a foundation for our students’ relationship with the Lord, for He is the source of all life. And, the monies raised tonight ensure that the students of Divine Child Catholic Schools will be the best they can be! Whatever role you plan in this event, know of my gratitude. Our students are guaranteed a bright future because of the efforts of everyone who contributes in any way to our Red Carpet Gala and Auction. For 23 years, the funds raised by this event have enhanced the educational environment of both Divine Child Elementary School and Divine Child High School and guarantee that they continue to be schools where students may grow spiritually, academically and athletically. Together, we are making a difference for our youth and their future. Thank you for coming to Divine Child to celebrate and take part in our Red Carpet Gala and Auction. I look forward to spending a great evening with everyone! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. James Bilot 1055 North Silvery Lane • Dearborn, Michigan 48128 • phone 313.277.3110 • fax 313.277.3211 www.ChurchOfTheDivineChild.org Divine Child Catholic Church Divine Child Red Carpet Gala 2014 3 Yes! The RED CARPET has been rolled out for you, the Very Important Persons of the Divine Child Schools! Your presence here affirms the confidence you have in the quality, Catholic education the DC schools provide. We, the faculty, staff, and students, are fortunate to have your generous support and encouragement. Truly, you are VIPs! So tonight walk on the RED CARPET. Let us lead you straight to a winning destination – a destination where you are the royalty and all the winnings are yours. God bless you, Sister Cecilia Elementary School Principal I want to thank you for accepting our invitation to join us on the “Red Carpet” as we celebrate another Auction gala event. “Red Carpet” is a fitting analogy because we think of our students as talented young stars who are learning to use their gifts for the greater glory of God. At Divine Child High School, we celebrate the abundance of talent that every incoming class brings and your gift of time and treasure makes it possible for us to offer scholarships, upgrade our facilities, and offer new programs and services. Our student services department, in particular, is a direct beneficiary of your generosity. Picture the young freshman with documented learning needs who decades ago would have had to struggle in silence. Today, our Instructional Specialists ensure that from day one our Falcons know that this community is invested in their success. Your presence on this “Red Carpet” has made this possible. Sincerely, Peggy Knuth ‘72 High School Principal 4 Divine Child Red Carpet Gala 2014 Rev. James Bilot, Pastor Rev. David Bechill, Associate Pastor Mr. Tim Horst, Seminarian in Residence Rev.

Welcome to Divine Child’s 23rd Annual Red Carpet Gala and Auction. We hope you will enjoy this special night of camaraderie and socializing that benefits both Divine Child Elementary School and Divine Child High School. We are pleased to share that the proceeds of this year’s Auction will support needed building improvements at both the Elementary School and the High School, as well as the High School’s Instructional Support Program. This innovative program, which employs two instructional specialists, allows students with diagnosed learning differences to experience academic success at Divine Child. New to this year’s Auction program is a “Dedicated Giving” segment, which gives our guests an exciting opportunity to fund some additional “wish list” items at both schools. Our auctioneer, Dan Stall, will tell you more about these items later on this evening. We are very appreciative of the many Auction volunteers who return year after year and stay until the job is done. We also gratefully acknowledge the treasured and generous sponsors, donors and volunteers who work endlessly to help make Divine Child Catholic Schools the well-respected institutions they are. We invite you to browse through desirable silent auction items that are all waiting for your bids. Indulge in all of the delectable food and desserts and take a chance on all the raffles. The excitement continues with the Live Auction! Be a part of the main attraction and raise that paddle on a wide variety of trips, dinners and unique experiences that only this Auction can offer! As we roll out the Red Carpet, we applaud you, our guests. Your ongoing support has been the cornerstone of this event for the last 23 years, enhancing the educational environment for thousands of students who are now proud and respected alumni. Continuing that proud tradition, your generous bids and donations at tonight’s event will provide Divine Child Catholic Schools with the resources to promote academic excellence and spiritual and social growth.
