Mayfaire is Sunday, May 7th from 3-6 p.m. on the Helman playground and in the cafeteria.  We hope you can attend!

 

We on the Mayfaire auction committee have been so humbled by the generous outpouring of donations to our part of Sunday’s carnival.  The silent auction will feature everything from zipline tours to cases of wine, from restaurant gift cards to golf outings, from theater tickets to kid birthday parties and summer camps.  There is something for everyone at this year’s silent auction!

 

All the silent auction lots to date (there are still a few coming in!) are listed below.  We want to give a huge Helman shout out to those local craftspeople and businesses that are supporting our kids and their community through their donations.  Each donation furthers the PTA’s goals to enrich the school life of every Helman student.

 

If you get the chance to thank any of these businesses for their support, please do!  Helman parent-owned businesses are listed below with an *asterisk*.  We look forward to seeing you at Mayfaire…
