Increased Results Through Creative Auction Displays
Dear Hope Jayes of Diligent Designs,
Just want to thank-you for all your hard work at "The School of the Holy Child" auction April 18th, 2009. The graphics were incredible, and the details were unbelievable.
In this failing economy with a group made up of mostly Wall Street executives, who had recently lost 1/2 their net worth, you pulled a rabbit out of a hat and raised more money for "The School of the Holy Child" then we have ever raised or expected to raise. The numbers were 20% better than in a booming economy and I attribute it all to your work.
I have worked on and run many charity functions in New York City, "Wings Over Wall Street" for the ALS society, "The Mike" for The Mike Foundation, "The Winter Dance" for the Boys and Girls Club, to name just a few. I have also run the auction for "The School of the Holy Child" 3 times and your work is far superior to anything I have seen.
I once again thank-you and look forward to calling on you in the near future for any benefit I am involved in.
Many Thanks,
Diane Tierney

Dear Hope,
I am extremely grateful for the exceptional artwork and enormous effort that you provided to make the 2009 Convent of the Sacred Heart auction a spectacular success.
The silent auction graphics were flawless and attendees remarked upon the auction displays, and the creativity of the overall design. To work with you on a daily basis was a delight; you set up the silent auction with the utmost professionalism, courtesy, and expertise under extreme circumstances at the Greenwich Hyatt. Without a doubt, the visual impact of your work contributed immensely to the success of our event both fiscally and socially. We wish to thank you sincerely for pulling our auction together in such a festive and financially effective manner.
Sincerely,
Bedina Sommerville

Dear Hope,
Thank you for the extraordinary job that you performed at the Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County’s Restaurant Tasting Event on Thursday, June 18th 2009.
I understand that you doubled the revenue generated in the Food Bank’s Silent Auction! If not for your creativity, imagination, time, effort and limitless talent, this would have never occurred!
With eternal thanks and gratitude,
