NYA Soiree 2014

Join us for North Yarmouth Academy’s 2014 Soiree! This year marks our 30th annual fundraising event. The proceeds of this event benefit NYA’s financial aid, athletic and fine arts programs. This festive celebration will give you an opportunity to connect with friends, old and new, while enjoying fine food, spirits, and a nine-piece dance band.

Early in the evening NYA’s Royal River Honey Badgers, our student bluegrass band, will entertain us. The walls will be adorned with artwork by all Lower and Middle School students, as well as some Upper School students and will be available for sale. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to see such a grand display of creations from our talented students.

This year’s Soiree is made possible by the hard work and dedication of many talented volunteers as well as the generous donations from parents, grandparents, alumni parents, trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and local businesses. The combination of their time, talent and treasure ensures our great success.

Take a moment to browse our program and note the various sponsors and donors. Please thank them by patronizing their businesses. We thank them for their support of our school and their com-mitment to creating a stronger community.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve as Co-Chairs of this year’s Soiree and to work with such a great community. We look forward to celebrating this wonderful evening with all of you.

Joanna See and Anita Demetropoulos
