    It's not too late to donate an item for Chiarapalooza. You have until THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 1ST to turn in your Spring Benefit item donation forms. Concert tickets, a night out on the town, a weekend away... What ever you want to share with our rockin' community , we'll celebrate it! Last year over 80 item donations by the CMS community helped raise almost $50,000 for the school. We want to reach our goal of 15 live auction items and 10 super silent items and we need your help! A weekend getaway, spa services, a private wine tasting or cooking class would be an excellent fit for live auction items. Please spread the word.
