ANNUAL DINNER & AUCTION

The first major initiative of this season will be a Dinner and Auction. This event will be held at the Eagles Hall in Buckley on Friday, November 5th, 2010. In addition to the catered dinner, the evening will consist of a live auction (if sufficient items are procured), silent auction tables with themed baskets and other items donated by player's families and supporters of the club. Additionally we will have a dessert auction and 50/50 drawing. The Eagles hall includes a full bar which will be available to attendees.

This event overview is to explain your part in helping to make this evening a huge success. Your first responsibility is to attempt to SELL SIX EVENT TICKETS to friends and family and have them attend this event. Each player will receive six numbered tickets that they will need to be accountable for until we collect monies raised from sold tickets. At that time any unsold tickets will need to be returned. The tickets cost $25 each. Should you require additional tickets to sell these can be made available to you. The second thing we are asking for help with is the donation of items for the Live or silent auction tables. For the live auction we suggest services from tradesman, vacation home or cabin stays,

For the silent auction we suggest themed baskets which can be created using creativity and ingenuity. We are not limiting auction items to baskets and would gladly accept other donations such as handmade goods perhaps a birdhouse or art item or services such as handyman, home decorating or cleaning services. The possibilities are endless! Some ideas for baskets include a Husky or Cougar basket, pampered chef or a car washing basket.

At this time, what we need most is a commitment from parents and players to make an effort to sell tickets and donate an item or service for the auction tables. Players and parents are asked to attend an auction kickoff meeting on Sunday September 19th at 4pm which will serve the dual purpose of distributing your ticket sales allocation and also presenting and overview of the event and answering any of your questions. The meeting will be held at the Windermere Real Estate Bonney Lake Office located at 18008 State route highway 410 East 98391.

The deadline for ticket sales and collection of sales monies will be Sunday October 3rd. We will reconvene at the Windermere office on October 3rd to conduct this collection.

Thank you, parents for your efforts in helping to make our 2nd t Dinner and Auction a huge success. We appreciate your support of the Rainier Plateau Junior Rugby Club.
