ISB Gala and Silent Auction: Chateau du Lac

Saturday evening Rich and I drove to the Chateau du Lac in Genval for ISB's Gala and Silent Auction Event. A lovely evening with distinguished guests, including the US Ambassador to Brussels.

It was so difficult for us to decide what to bid on at the Silent Auction. We decided on two items: the first was a pottery party with the school's art teacher, Mr. Daley, for four children and one adult. It was a competitive evening of bidding, but by the close of the bidding process we had won! We told Elisabeth and Kate about it on Sunday morning - she was excited. The other item we bid on was a watercolor of the Chateau at her school, ISB. We were outbid, but fun to try!

Lots of other exciting items to consider: dinner for eight with the Ambassador, beach house on the coast in France, airplane ride over Holland to Vreeland, driving a classic car in Germany for the day....we could only dream as none were within our budget.
