Update from Reed Denim and Diamonds Event:

REED celebrates great success at our November event, Denim and Diamonds, November 14th at the Newark Club.
Thank you to so many REED supporters!

On Saturday night, November 14, 2009, Dr. Catherine Maurice made a rare public appearance and spoke to a packed house at the Newark Club,
where REED Academy honored her for her tireless advocacy of science in autism treatment. Dr. Maurice, author of "Let Me Hear Your Voice,"
has brought help and hope to countless parents by sharing her journey through the recovery of two of her children from autism. We are all
so grateful to Dr. Maurice for letting us hear her voice.

The evening also featured comments by Board member Susie Arons and a video presentation entitled, "Voices of REED." In addition to the
formal program, guests enjoyed live jazz, an open bar, a sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, door prizes and a raffle for a trip
to Bimini Bay. A great time was had by all, as we raised much-needed funds to support appropriate education for individuals with autism.

 


Neiman Marcus Event

On the morning of Wednesday, April 22nd, sixty REED supporters gathered at Neiman Marcus at the Garden State Plaza to enjoy breakfast and a Tory Burch fashion presentation. After a truly delectable dining experience, REED parent Shelly Milstein spoke poignantly about the enormous positive impact REED Academy has had on her life with her two sons, both of whom are students at the school. "The Whole Wide World With Tory Burch" presentation which followed, showcased summer apparel, shoes and handbags. The fashions looked fabulous—not only on the models who donned them, but also on those guests who tried on Tory's styles, post event. Lucky Cathy Berson, of Woodcliff Lake, won the highly anticipated raffle drawing, entitling her to $300 of Tory Burch merchandise. (Cathy chose a great handbag!)
All of our supporters left Neiman’s with a Tory Burch chocolate lollipop, a heightened sense of summer fashion, and, because the event raised $3000 for REED, the knowledge that their morning made a positive difference in the lives of children with Autism.

A huge thank you goes out to Public Relations Director Lynne Vreeland and the Neiman Marcus staff for three consecutive years of phenomenal events in support of REED.
