Parker Gala Chair Archive
In 1966, Beverly Dewart chaired the first Francis Parker School “Shoppers Mart,” a tradition that would continue until 1975.
From 1976-1982, the Mothers’ Club hosted small dinner auctions, often held in private homes. By 1983, the auction dinner/dance became the standard for the school fundraiser we know today as the Parents Association Annual Gala.
We proudly salute all the past leaders
whose service and dedication benefited us all.
