Administrative Professionals’ Day and Mother’s Day are coming up. Wrap your special present in this cute box. The box is relatively easy to fold and works up great in any kind of printed cardstock. Bring your own scrapbook paper if you want to customize your boxes. These little boxes would be awesome for party favors. During our session you can also learn the origami pinwheel which makes a cute decoration for the box. Diagrams and paper are provided. Classes are drop in and informal.

This year the chamber orchestra at VSAA has been accepted to perform in the WorldStrides competition in Anaheim, CA. The orchestra program has grown just north of 200% over the past six years and has won several local competitions; including Silverwood in Idaho and the Western Washington Orchestra Festival in Bellingham. They are ready for this next big step of performing in a national competition and have worked so hard to get to this point. Students will also get to perform in and enjoy the Disneyland park when we travel in April. 

This is our time planning and fundraising for a trip of this magnitude. We are trying to raise at least $20,000 this year to help make the trip affordable for all students. With the help of some amazing parents, we developed and launched a booster club not only for purposes of this exciting trip but to also help support all the art forms at VSAA. Having the booster also allows us to throw some fun and exciting new events, which leads me to the following invitation:

On Sunday, October 8th from 6-9PM, we are hosting a fall fundraiser called Sips and Serenades! Burnt Bridge Cellars in downtown Vancouver has graciously donated their space for us to enjoy an evening of music and wine together. It will be a small event of about 50 patrons. On the outdoor patio we will have auction items, most notably tickets to see Brett Goldstein (from Ted Lasso) performing at the Keller and tickets to see Cypress Hill with The Oregon Symphony. We have local bakeries donating gorgeous desserts for raffle prizes. The evening will also feature performances by VSAA alumni. Graduates are traveling from such universities as WWU, PLU, UPS, UP, and more! I am most looking forward to guests seeing how VSAA has created lifelong musicians and music lovers. 

The VIP tickets reserve guests a seat at a table for the entire evening. Regular tickets will not include seating. The ticket grants you entry to the event, your first full pour of either red, white, or rosé, and light hors d'oeuvres prepared by Burnt Bridge Cellars. More glasses of wine can be purchased throughout the evening if you desire! You can purchase tickets online: https://sips-and-serenades.cheddarup.com 

Come test your blind tasting skills at the Winery. We have blind tastings offered all day, the last Friday of every month. The winner gets entered into a drawing to win a gift certificate!
