Norbel School's Spring Fling Raises dollars for Education
May 7, 2006
Elkridge - On Saturday May 6, 2006 Norbel School hosted its annual fundraiser Spring Fling '06: An Affair with Local Flair. Honorary Event Chairman, Howard County General Hospital President, and CEO, Victor Broccolino greeted the One hundred and fifty guests by stating Norbel School as a "hidden treasure in Howard County." He asked guests and the business community to help spread the word about the wonderful work that Norbel School does for families of learning disabled children. For most of Norbel's twenty-six year history, it was located in Northwest Baltimore City. Having relocated to Elkridge just a few years, ago Norbel is still becoming acquainted with the Howard County community. Mr. Broccolino encouraged the community to visit Norbel to learn about their mission and support their growth.

The event was a partnership between Norbel and over 100 area businesses. Participating businesses included event sponsors Howard County General Hospital, Cardoni Waddell LLC, Academy Ford, Ruskey Builders Inc, Citizen's Bank and Apple Ford. The evening event incorporated food stations by area restaurants and caterers, music by Centennial high School Jazz Ensemble, and featured nationally acclaimed motivational comedian Brett Leake. Ms Sarah Jacobs, morning radio celebrity from WMX106.5 FM, was the evening's emcee. Sponsoring restaurants included Elkridge Furnace Inn, The Crab Shanty, Iron Bridge Wine Company, La Palapa Grill & Cantina, Old Country Buffet, Town & County Catering, Chammps and The Kings Contrivance.

The event was an enchanting affair, and Mr. Leake's clever comic relief was outstanding. The guests were delighted by his candid and crisp sense of humor. Mr. Leake's reflection on the commonsense absurdity of human nature, and specifically education, had the audience doubled over in laughter. As educators and parents of learning disabled children, many of the guests often with the serious side of education; it was wonderful to have an opportunity to simply laugh at the obscurity of learning and instruction. The performance was the perfect antidote for the event guests!

The event's silent auction featured over one hundred items donate by businesses and individuals. The proceeds from the auction along with the Academy Ford sponsored car raffle raised over $28,000 for the school's Curriculum Fund. The fund provides enrichment materials and resources to Norbel students. Norbel is a private elementary through high school that serves bright students with a variety of learning differences.
