"We've had some very generous do- nations from both our local businesses and community members, and much farther such as San Francisco and Sacramento." Donations included ev- erything from Red Bluff's Girls with Guns and Lar- son's Apiary to a painting, valued at $900, donated by the Thomas Kinkade Gal- lery. The evening included several genres of music, in- cluding country, swing, '80s and music for participants to learn the popular 1850s dance the Virginia Reel. The latter fit right in with the tradition of ladies hav- ing a dance card to fill out. There were plenty of girls sporting almond blossom hair clips made by parent Alissa Eastman. The event has tradi- tionally raised more than $1,000 and with more items in the silent auction hopes were high of bring- ing in more than usual, Whitten said. The school is fast ap- proaching its new enroll- ment period, which be- gins March 1 and is about to begin the process of de- veloping a full-time, per- manent building for the school. The hope is to seek grants and have the school fully developed within a year, Whitten said. There will be an informa- tional meeting for parents of prospective students on Feb. 29.
