| Evening of Elegance |
| With spring comes Aquinas’ annual Evening of Elegance
event - whose proceeds go directly to provide
support for student scholarships and programs.
This year, the Evening of Elegance was held on
Thursday, April 26, at Grand Rapids’ Fairhill
Estate home of Robert (2006 Aquinas College
Reflection Award recipient) and Paulette Israels.
The Israels provided a warm and sophisticated
atmosphere for Aquinas College’s seventh annual
Evening of Elegance. |
| |
| The Fairhill Estate is a lovely Cape Cod
designed by Jordan Shepard with additions
added by Steve and Cindy Van Andel (Alticor
Corporation). One of the most notable curiosities
about this lovely home is that it is the second
largest home in the state of Michigan to be
moved from its original site to another side.
Erhardt Construction coordinated the house
move. The home, overlooking forested acres, rests
on one of the highest points in Ada. Thanks to
the Israels, Fairhill was the perfect environment to
create the ambience of enchantment that our
sponsors and guests enjoyed.
Ninety percent of Aquinas students receive
some level of scholarship support. This event was a
significant funding source for those scholarships. |
