Gifft Hill Auction
By Han Winogrond
What is it about an auction that fascinates us? Although Sotheby's and Christy's are names that jump to mind today, the tradition of auctions stretches back to Roman times. Recently, St. John participated in this long tradition with the annual Pine Peace auction.
The annual auction is held to raise money for the Gifft Hill School. In their roles for the event, Beth Jones and Lori Varlas are what the Romans would have called the Praeco; they put together an incredible event, amassing a seemingly limitless treasure trove of items and creating, by all counts, a wonderful evening.

The Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Party, March 15th, 2008
The shortest parade in history was a big hit again this year, with fiddlers, Middle Aged Majorettes, a flaming red-haired Miss Ireland, kilts, costumes, and green as far as the eye could see. As usual, the streets of Cruz Bay were packed with revelers, as it's well known that everyone's a little bit Irish on St. Paddy's Day! Thanks to Mary Pat, Cid, Kelly, and everyone at the Quiet Mon for another great event!
