Braelinn

Elementary School knows how to put the fun in

fund-raising.

collective effort of about 150 parent volunteers

will transform the school into a game-filled

mecca for children Saturday, March 25.

Braelinn's

annual family fun night, billed "Reach for

the Stars" is being sponsored by Outback

Steakhouse. The event, which starts at 4 p.m. and

wraps up about 7:30 p.m., will feature a silent

and live auction, steak dinner and student

entertainment.

Fun

Night organizer Tane Wilson and parent volunteers

Terri Shull, Julie Taylor and Lila Parry were

busy assembling programs Monday, listing dozens

of items slated for the silent and live auctions.

Some

of the more unusual items to be offered at the

live auction include two bedtime stories with Dr.

Bob Martin, Braelinn's principal, a limo lunch

with Dr. Bob, an autographed baseball by New York

Yankees pitcher Tino Martinez and a guitar and

amplifier with accessories.

Last

year's fun night benefit netted the school

$17,000. Plans for this year's donations include

sound system improvements, additional playground

improvements and purchase of a marquee sign for

the front of the school.
