Jenna Fischer to Chair AuctioNerinx
Go Green! Nerinx Students Make It Happen!! This is the theme of our auction and this statement rings so true. Nerinx girls get involved and give back in extraordinary ways. One of our favorite Nerinx girls is giving back in a big way this year.
We are thrilled to announce that Jenna Fischer '91 has agreed to chair this year's auction along with Gina Baruzzini-Augsburger and Rita Switzer. Jenna has dreamed of being a chair of the auction since she graduated from Nerinx. When Jenna was a student, Mary Frann '61 of the Bob Newhart show chaired the auction and Jenna was inspired by Mary Fran's dedication and commitment to Nerinx and wanted to follow Mary Frann's lead.
Jenna has been busy working on soliciting unique items for the auction….especially items from the All-Star Game and The Office. She has reserved a table for her family and friends and is looking forward to helping the auctioneer raise lots and lots money for the school. Of course, it takes a lot of Nerinx girls working together to make the auction a hit and we do hope that you will join Jenna and make it happen!
AuctioNerinx is March 13, 2010. Items are needed and may be dropped off in the Lockwood House. Gift forms should be attached to each item donated and the forms are available in the Lockwood House. Tickets to the auction will go on sale in November. There is an early bird special rate of $80 per person. After February 15th, the ticket price will be $100 per person. Tickets can be purchased online at
www.nerinxalumnae.org and invitations will be mailed the end of January.
