Invitation to the Opera
They say to handle each paper once,
but I can never do that with opera invites,
for I am someone who would like to like opera.
So when one comes, along with the bills,
fundraising letters from my daughter’s pricey college,
small magazines that published my work—
magazines I keep renewing but never find time to read,
even gold-embossed credit-card offerings to my ex-wife,
it’s the opera offer I can’t throw away.
It would be so good if I could get my daughter to go.
I wonder whether to subscribe or just pick one or two.
Perhaps start with a familiar name:
La Traviata, Madame Butterfly, Aida, or Carmen.
Or how about these colorful ads for the new ones:
The Death of Klinghoffer or Nixon in China—
any program that puts the stars in tails and flowing gowns.
Some Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday, maybe next year
I’ll be there, part of the daringly dressed audience
as the lights dim. Imagine me in that heart-stopping
quiet just before the songs echo into the night

Quest Ball 2024
The Quest Ball dinner and auction is Valley Christian Schools’ (VCS) highest-grossing fundraiser for our K-12 schools. The Community Development and Advancement team invites our Warrior Club donors, alums, and employees via a mailed, printed invitation. The tenth Anniversary of the Quest Ball prompted our design team to create an elevated and high-end invitation that captured the theme “Shine Bright: Reflections of Light.”
The VCS Marketing and Communications (MarCom) team developed a cohesive brand for the event, delivering key materials such as invitations, promotional fliers, a website, videography, photography, email campaigns, social media content, signage, a PowerPoint presentation, and the event program.
As the Senior Design Manager, I created the look and feel for the entire event and brought the “Shine Bright” theme to life with a holographic invitation. As recipients opened the envelope, a prism-like effect cast iridescent rays of color through the diamond-cut font of the title, “SHINE BRIGHT.” The secondary graphic is a digitally designed prism-glitter background that shines through the “10th” typography. Our school’s “Q-dove” logo stands in for the zero to create a distinct tenth anniversary lock-up, true to our school’s “Quest for Excellence” branding.
The event welcomed 422 guests and generated a total revenue of $432,910, including $132,000 dedicated to our “Youth With Promise” scholarship program.
