2011 The Mane Event- That’s Italian! More than $265,000 was raised to support TKA under the leadership of Event Chairwomen Andrea Titus and Connie Tuller, and Silent Auction Chair Irelys Pattee. Guests enjoyed a fun-filled evening featuring a silent and live auction, dinner, and entertainment by TKA’s Choir and Advanced Dance students. Guests enjoyed the festive Italian atmosphere created through song, dance, and decorations. The live auction was energized by the spirit of friendly competition as TKA parent Ray Titus and alumni parent Jim Tatem worked as a team to keep guests interested and bidding. The Call from the Heart, Sights and Sounds, will provide new acoustical panels and large dual projection screens in the Sports & Fine Arts Center and will allow our students to experience cutting edge technology and professional performance opportunities. A special thanks to the entire auction committee for their dedication to TKA and to our guests for their faithful support. |
