I can't believe it is already the end of February. Life is FLYING by this year. This is the third year in a row that we have had our annual ADULT ONLY DCE Dinner and Auction. It has been such a huge success. Compared to the carnivals that we used to do, we make 3 times as much money and use about 1/5 the amount of volunteer hours. That is not to say that those of us working on this thing aren't working, it just doesn't take quite as many of us to pull it off. Now, we CANNOT have a successful auction without a lot of wonderful parents to buy tickets and attend. The auction is this Saturday at the beautiful Grapevine Springs in Coppell. This is the senior center that was built using our tax dollars and this place is GORGEOUS! The food will be provided by J. Macklin's. There is a casino for fun entertainment, music (provided by my ipod playlist....the pressure....), a silent auction, a HUGE gift card raffle, Casino raffle prizes (including a $750 Stella and Dot jewelry collection... can you say, WHOOHOOOO), a festive live auction, a cash bar and lots of friends to chat with all night long. Babysitting has been arranged at the YMCA. You have no excuses. BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW! There are only a limited number of tickets for sale. When we run out of space, we can't sell anymore. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS! We are taking credit cards this year for all the expenses including the bar.
Ok, you say you can't come because your child has a party. Send your husband with the kids and come on! Last year, we had several moms or dads who came by themselves and had a great time. What if you absolutely cannot attend, please buy some gift card raffle tickets and check out the online auction. The online auction bids will become the starting bids the night of the event, so there is always a chance that you can still be the winner even if you can't come (last year we had 4 online winners for various items).
Here are some pics from last year...
I can't wait to see you Saturday evening!
