TRAVERSE CITY – Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools Gladhander chairpersons Dave and Amy Pax, along with chairpersons-elect Doug and Maureen DeYoung are busy managing an army of volunteers to prepare for the homestretch toward this year’s Gladhander event.
According to organizers, “‘Tis a Classic” is a Gladhander theme inspired by literary classics, known and loved for outstanding creativity, craftsmanship, memorable characters, and enduring purpose.
Gladhander guests will be immersed in iconic settings from literature such as “Alice in Wonderland,” “Treasure Island,” “The Odyssey,” and more. They may celebrate an unbirthday party, a pirate adventure, or journey through ancient Greece. The Gladhander decorations committee is expected to provide a plot twist at every turn.
“Whether guests read them and loved them, skimmed the Cliff Notes, or just saw the movie, they will certainly love this Gladhander theme,” said chairperson Amy Pax. “Great literary works are the perfect jumping off point for our committee that is dedicated to thoroughly entertaining our guests.”
Included in the annual Gladhander festivities is the popular new car raffle. Up for grabs this year is a Mercedes Benz GLK arranged through Fox Motors USA, a Cadillac SRX arranged through Cherry Capital Cadillac, or $32,000 cash. Ten additional cash prizes will given away. Raffle tickets are available at the Gladhander office, or by calling 231-941-GLAD. Ticket prices are $125 each or two for $200. (Raffle license No. C26648.)
Pax said Gladhander represents a significant source of funding for the preschool through 12th grade parochial school system which is not taxpayer funded. The 2014 Gladhander Main Event gala takes place on Saturday, Oct. 25. Preview night is a free event that opens the venue to all members of the community on Friday, Oct. 24.
The Gladhander office is located on the second floor of Holy Angels Preschool and Elementary School, 123 E. 11th St. in Traverse City. For more information visit Gladhander.com, call 231-941-GLAD, or email gladhander@gtacs.org.
