We need Auction items - now!

This year, more than ever, our Auction procurement team needs all parents to think hard about what they can donate to the Auction. Our successful Auction depends on YOU! What would you want to bid on at the Auction? Can you donate that item? Do you know someone who can donate it? Do you know someone who can build it? Once you start thinking, we know you will come up with something that will make a real difference on March 14th, 2009.

Here are some ideas we’ve heard in meetings and around school:

  • Get together with friends or ask a builder-friend to auction off a TREE HOUSE.

  • Did you have fun sledding this winter but your sled was not up to snuff? Get together with a few friends and donate some COOL SLEDS for next Winter’s snow.

  • Do you cook a killer BREAKFAST? Offer 4 Sunday breakfasts over the year for the lucky bidder.

  • Can you THROW A PARTY around a theme? Do you have a VACATION HOME? Do you know an ARTIST?

  • What about a really cool cruiser bike for the lucky owner? Know a bike shop owner who may have a soft-spot for the school? How about a SURFBOARD or a CANOE for the family?

  • Can you donate a few bottles of wine for the planned-for “WALL-OF-WINE”?

Taking any of these actions will make a very real difference in the success of our Auction and in our staff funding for next year. Fill out a donor form found in the main office and help us help the school. You won’t regret it.

ALL DONOR FORMS DUE BY FEBRUARY 13TH, 2009.
