Welcome! Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Wilmington Montessori Auction – Bidding on the Bayou. This year celebrates our 31st WMS Annual Auction Gala. We are proud to be able to continue the tradition and welcome you to this year’s event.

It has been a privilege to have chaired the WMS Auction for the past two years and in doing so, I have met incredible parents and staff. This event would not be possible without the dedication, creativity and enthusiasm of the Auction Committee. I am continually amazed by our volunteers and the efforts taken to ensure the strength and vitality of our school!

On behalf of the Auction Committee, thank you for your continued support and as always…. HAPPY BIDDING!
