Get Ready the 2009 Gala Is Upon Us!

Hi folks, March 21st 2009 may sound like a long ways off but while you've been shopping for the holidays the Auction Team has been kicking into gear! We are trying something new this year, so check those backpacks because we put together an Auction Package which includes:

* Gala 2009 Invitation
* Gala Newsletter – new this year
* Donation Form
* Advertising Form
* Post a Personal Message in the Program – new this year
* Friends & Family Letter
* Raffle Flyer and Tickets

Please share with your families & friends, sell raffle tickets, brainstorm new ideas, ask for donations, regift those unwanted Christmas presents to the auction, and so on...

Class Basket & Project Preview - ONE DAY ONLY

It worked so well last year, that again this year we will have an early preview day of class projects/baskets. You will be able to catch a first glimpse at what our creative classes have pulled together! We typically have baskets, quilts, original works of art, projects and much more!

When: TBD
Where: MU Room
Time: 1:30-6pm

Absentee Bidder Forms (will be available on Preview day ONLY for class donations)

The way it works:
1) Fill out the Absentee Bidder Form completely with your highest possible bid (incomplete forms will be denied.)
2) The auction team will use your Absentee Bidder Form to try and purchase your selected item(s) for the lowest possible price, taking into account other bids.
3) If identical bids are left, the auction team will give precedence to the first one received.
4) All successful bids are subject to the terms and Auction Rules printed in the front of each program.
5) You will be notified the following week if you were a lucky winner! Arrangements will be made for you to pick up your item(s).
