Welcome to the 2020 Virtual Chemin de Fer Experience! We are so excited to present this year’s online auction with you. This evening we will all be enjoying the auction from the comfort of our own homes. While the venue is certainly different, the goal is still the same!
We will still get to see firsthand the generosity and heart that our school is built upon. We will still enjoy the camaraderie of coming together for one worthy cause. We will still make this a Chemin to remember because we are the Academy of the Sacred Heart.
There are so many people to thank for planning, implementing, and supporting a successful Chemin! First, we would like to thank Anna Godfrey, Nora Brooks, Will Yates, and the Advancement and Business offices for their dedication and hard work preparing for Chemin. It is through their support and guidance, pulling off such an important event seems more fun than work.
Next, we would like to thank all of our Chemin Committee members. Chemin is a big commitment and takes so many willing and creative volunteers. Although for some of the committees, we don’t get to see the fruits of your labor online, we know how much pre-planning and effort went into taking us on a train ride through the Swiss Alps! A special thank you to the committees that worked to take this journey to the virtual platform. We sincerely appreciate all of your work!
Finally, we would like to thank the Administration, Faculty and Staff for all of your support. Your words of encouragement, fund-raising, and ever-present positivity make this celebration what it is. We feel blessed to have been on this Chemin journey with you.
The Chemin auction is made successful through every person reading this letter and “attending” the event! Thank you to our sponsors and donors that have given so generously already to Chemin 2020 and thank you to all of you that are about to bid on items and make this weekend exciting!
As Switzerland’s motto proudly boasts, “Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno” or “One for All, All for One.” We hope you enjoy the Virtual Chemin de Fer Experience!
