Dinner and Online Auction Announcement – 2 weeks in Hawaii and much more!
April 15th, 2010 by Heather
Hello all,
This is just a quick e-mail to remind those of you in Edmonton about the 6th annual Racecourse Community School Fundraising Dinner and Drumming being held this Saturday, April 16th at St. Paul’s United Church. Please let me know ASAP if you would like to reserve a ticket ($25 each).
It is also an e-mail to announce that we will be having a silent auction at the dinner and our feature auction item will also be available for online/telephone bidding. The silent auction items include some amazing things such as a custom wedding/celebration cake, a photo shoot, an MP3 player, 3 massages and much more! If you have anything you would be willing to donate to our auction that would be greatly appreciated and please contact me with the details.
The feature auction item is a 2 week stay in Maui, Hawaii!! A 1 bedroom condo has been donated to our cause for for the last week of May 2011 and the first week of June 2011 (exact dates to be on website soon). Photos of the condo can be viewed at: http://www.vrbo.com/44924. The minimum bid for this item will be $700/week because the estimated value is $950/week. Bids can be made on one or both weeks. We will begin the auction for this item at the dinner and then continue it for one week over e-mail and phone. I will be updating the website and facebook as the highest bid changes over the week. The successful bidder will be contacted at the end of one week (April 25). Please note that the item is for accommodation and does not include flight or other costs associated with travel to Maui.
Well, that’s all for now – thanks to Lynn and Charlie Patching for getting the momentum going on this exciting addition to our dinner! I’m really looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday.
