Fundraiser Follow-Up

From the West Bucktown Neighborhood Association Newsletter:BEFORE fundraiser 011

“At the Cortland Preschool Fundraiser, guests were treated to a rare behind-the-scenes look at what goes into building an environmentally-conscious preschool. From the architectural drawings that graced the walls, to the countertop and flooring samples, to the masking tape that outlined the future location of tiny tot-sized toilets, the evening was a study in all things eco-friendly. Preschool director Amy Ewaldt worked the room, fielding questions and topping off wine glasses, while a magician amazed guests with slight-of-hand card tricks, old school style! With construction expected to get underway this winter, the Cortland Preschool is shaping up to be a wonderful addition to West Bucktown in 2011. And if the fundraiser’s turnout is any indication, the school will receive a warm welcome from parents, neighbors, and donors alike.”
