Mahler 3 4 5 Dear Parents and Friends of The Out-of-Door Academy: On behalf of the students, faculty and the Board of Trustees, I would like to welcome you to The Out-of-Door Academy’s Banyan Ball. Tonight, we come together as a school community to celebrate the strength of the Out-of-Door family and to reflect on more than 85 years of educational leadership and service to the Sarasota community. We also recognize the incredible efforts and generous support of volunteers, sponsors and patrons who have promoted our school’s growth and development for decades. The Banyan Ball affords us the opportunity to bring all of the members of our school community together to celebrate many great achievements and accomplishments of the past and to affirm the promise of The Out-of-Door Academy’s future. In the early 1920’s, the founders of The Out-of-Door Academy, Ms. Gavin and Ms. Harrison, had a clear vision for the type of school they wished to create on a primitive barrier island called Siesta Key. They envisioned a school where some of the most important lessons would be learned “out-of-doors,” or outside the classroom. Central to that vision was the belief that a great education should be comprehensive and transcend the boundaries of the classroom and a traditional, academic curriculum. These two visionary leaders created a school where educating the whole child was the defining characteristic of the Out-of-Door experience. From our roots as a small, PK-8 boarding school on Siesta Key to our current configuration as a PreK-12 college preparatory day program that spans two campuses and serves over 600 students, our school has continuously evolved to meet the needs of the students we serve. We remain, however, firmly committed to the fulfillment of our mission to prepare each of our students to be good citizens and to confront the challenges of the twenty-first century with confidence and resolve. This year’s special event, “It Takes a Village”, has already generated great excitement and anticipation across the entire Out-of-Door family and throughout the Sarasota community. Our Chairs and parent volunteers, under the leadership of Rhonda and Dan Deems and Cindy and Mike vonWaldner, have worked tirelessly to plan for what we all know will be a celebration to remember. Furthermore, they have set extremely high standards for service to our school community. We are all grateful for their selfless effort and all that they have contributed on behalf of the students, faculty and staff at The Out-of-Door Academy. As we celebrate the strength of our “village” we are reminded of all of the different constituencies that make up our school community and play important roles in the lives of each of the students at Out-of-Door. Faculty, staff, parents, grandparents, volunteers and alumni consistently demonstrate their commitment and love for The Out-of-Door Academy. Their spirit and collective efforts define our school community today and provide the inspiration for our future. We will follow their example as we continue to strengthen our school and educate the next generation. Thank you for your generous support of The Out-of-Door Academy village and best wishes for a wonderful evening. David Mahler Head of School 6 Dear Parents, Faculty, and Friends: It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Banyan Ball 2011: It Takes a Village! When we originally agreed to be the Co-Chairs and needed to choose a theme, we separately came to the same idea: to celebrate the wonderful community that is The Out-of-Door Academy. Many already know that ODA offers exceptional academics, arts, athletics, and facilities. What those outside our comMike, Cindy, R honda and Dan munity may not understand, however, is the strong sup- Banyan Ball 2010 port of other parents and faculty that enrich our lives, and our children’s’ lives, daily. The ODA philosophy extends beyond the classroom, and the faculty becomes an extended family. It is about a community: a past science teacher who gently takes your child aside during class registration to suggest an alternate course schedule; a Siesta Key faculty member who sends your high school child an encouraging note to start the school year; a college counselor who gently, but firmly, keeps the students on task; the arts teacher who takes time to watch his band members play soccer; the coaches that encourage our children, while teaching valuable life lessons; the librarian who annually brings students and parents together for “Sleepytime, Storytime.” However, the village does not end with our children; our families have found lasting friendships in the stands and in the volunteer office. It is this strong sense of community that is unique to the Out-of-Door Academy. Banyan Ball, likewise, is a result of a strong community of volunteers. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the committed volunteers and staff who have dedicated countless hours to bringing this night to fruition. We are humbled to have had the opportunity to have worked with so many talented and generous individuals, who have contributed their time and treasures to make this night a success. We would also like to thank our sponsors who have demonstrated their commitment to the school’s mission and its place in Sarasota’s “Village.” That’s what is so great about Banyan Ball: you have all participated in some key way. You have either sponsored, supported and/or attended! The school will be vastly enriched by your support. So tonight as you are having a fabulous time (and we do guarantee an excellent party!), remember that we are here to support the school that we and our children love so much. This will be a night of celebration and fun! Bid early and bid often! The money raised tonight supports the programs that benefit our children every day. But, most importantly, we encourage you to become better acquainted with other parents, friends, and, especially, our dedicated faculty, as we celebrate the wonderful community that is the Out-of-Door Academy! With warmest wishes, Rhonda and Dan Deems Cindy and Mike vonWaldner 7 8 9 Chairs Rhonda & Dan Deems Cindy & Mike vonWaldner Executive Committee Sue Armbruster Ted Berg Tracee Bomberger Stephanie Appleby Leslie Bavaro Debra Beck Jamie Becker Liz Bentley Betsy Bowers Tonie Branica Pam Brown Christina Cassidy Kim Chait Carrie Collins ’99 Lisa Dailey Katie Dobosz Avery Dodge Julie Dooley Janye Dowd-Owen Sandy Elliott Kitty Cranor Mark Dobosz Stephany Dobosz Volunteers Katie Emmons Kathy Fleeman Elizabeth Frazier Patty Garcia Jane Giacinti Tracy Grathwohl Cathy Hansell Tammy Karp Dawn Kyte Ollie Kyte Michelle Lea Val Leatherwood Tiffany Liashek Beth Lloyd Elizabeth Mahler Camillia Mankovich Lucie Marino Kim Githler Sharon Petrik Terri Vitale Gene Marra Julia Miller Stephanie Morgan Mary Ann Mullen Suzanne Munroe Renee Preininger Tara Raven Linda Ross Linda Ruschau Chris Serio Martin Roberta Tengerdy Tom Tengerdy Monica Verinder Stacy White Karen Wilson John Wilson Patty Young Support Staff Dennis Chapman Julie Fineberg Ashley Brown Shannon Drosky It truly “Takes A Village” to produce this evening’s Banyan Ball.

NYC critic John Mendelson has written about his work, “Jack Dowd is a connoisseur of American types - the boisterous, eccentric, innocently hilarious individuals who rarely become the subjects of art. Dowd celebrates America’s idiosyncratic extended family in his on-going series of full-sized figures...with affectionate humor and satiric wit.” An original sculpture will be chosen by the artist for auction at Banyan Ball.
