Last year, we had our very first adult only dinner and auction. It was held at Riverchase Golf Club in late February. Part 2 is scheduled for Saturday, February 26th at 7pm. Tickets will go on sale soon. I think everyone had a really good time last year (I know that I did). There was a buffet style dinner, a DJ for dancing, a silent auction and a live auction. Let me tell you, the live auction was CRAZY!!!! Some of our husbands (no names) got a bit competitive and made some wonderfully, ridiculous bids. I am sure many of you saw the UT flag hanging in the gym this year, we made over $2000 on that bid alone last year. I, like many of you, would like to see it gone this year.....
How can you get involved?
* You can buy tickets and attend the event (bring your checkbook). Come, eat, party, socialize, bid, HAVE FUN!
* Do you own a business? Please consider donating an item to our silent auction or live auction. You can just reply to this newsletter and your reply will be forwarded to the right person. This is a tax deductible donation.
* Do you have a skill that someone might enjoy? Can you cook? Can you sew? Can you bake cakes? Please consider donating something fun. An example of a silent auction item might be: A lovely 3 course dinner for 6 catered by Sally Homemaker at your home.
* Do you want to help with the planning or decorating? We have a wonderful team of people working to put together the auction under the management of Julie Albright and Sheila Pensotti. We need all the help we can get. If you are interested, please reply to this newsletter.
The auction this year will be held at Grapevine Springs Park in the new Community Center. It is sure to be gorgeous. I hope you will all make plans to attend. Not only is it a great evening of fun, it is also a HUGE fundraiser for our school. Please look for more information coming home in the next few weeks in your children's folders.
I have attached some pictures from last year's event. Enjoy!
