What a weekend! 🎉 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the Silent Auction at the Paradise City Arts Festivals such a success — the incredible artists who generously donated their work, the organizers and volunteers (students, board members, teachers, staff, and friends), and a special shout-out to Jennie (ILI’s Italian teacher) who led the event with so much care and energy 💛. We are also so appreciative of the festival founders Linda and Geoffrey Post and the current owners, Mariah Swanson and Elana Chernick-Kritz, who continue to make Paradise City such a vibrant celebration of art, music, and community. Together, we raised support for ILI’s free English program while celebrating the creativity, food, live music and demonstrations that make this festival unforgettable 🎶🎨🍴. Thank you! (fb)

Day 1 of the Paradise City Arts Festivals was a huge success! 🎉 Our amazing volunteers — students, board members, teachers, staff, and friends — made the Silent Auction shine 🙌. A huge thank you for their time and energy! ✨ Today you can browse the 30+ treasures on the Silent Auction tables and explore the booths of the generous artists who donated in support of ILI’s free English program. And while you’re here, enjoy all the festival has to offer — art, food, music, and live demonstrations 🎶🎨🍴. There are still two more Silent Auctions left — today and tomorrow — and each one includes not only art but also a chance to win a French, Spanish, or Italian class at ILI 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹. Stop by, say hello, and support ILI, your community language school 💬🌎. (fb)
