The First Annual Frankford Friends School Gala and Silent Auction, held in February 2008, was judged by all to be a smashing success. Parents, teachers, and friends of the school mingled with alumni of many different years, enjoying the excellent food and the beautifully decorated rooms of the Glen Foerd Mansion, as well as the opportunity to catch up with old friends. The Second Annual Gala and Silent Auction, to be held in February 2009, is now in the planning stage.

Thanks to generous donors (and bidders), the 2008 event raised more than $10,000 for the Building Fund. When you patronize the businesses below, be sure to thank them for their support of Frankford Friends School!
