Auction Tips and Tricks

Tomorrow’s the Big Day!

Here are some Auction Tips & Tricks to Make it Happen!

 

Check-in is at 6:00pm in the Family Center. Yes, you read that right. We’ve moved!  You’ll get your bid bracelet and catalog (school parents, bring yours from home). This is also your opportunity to scan your credit card for a quick check-out!

Look for GlimmerGlass Photography in the Wilson Room. Our favorite photographer, Suzy Petrucci, is back! These pictures are our gift to you. Thank you for coming!

100 Golden Tickets will be for sale this year. Look for the blinky rings and take a chance on winning your pick of the Live items (no exclusions!) OR $1,000 cash! These tickets are $100 each.

Apple AirPods can be yours! We’re playing Heads or Tails during the Live Auction and the AirPods are going to the lucky winner.  Look for the snazzy snap bracelets for sale during the Silent Auction – you can buy more than one chance at $20/each.  (Just think how you’d possibly explain only bringing one snap bracelet home…)

Enjoy the passed hors d’oeuvres and toast to a fabulous evening at our no-host bar. You won’t have to look far for drink ticket sellers! Drink tickets are $5/each.  Please enjoy the non-alcoholic beverages with our compliments.

A limited supply of commemorative wine glasses will be on hand.  These glasses are also $5/each and can be purchased at the bar.

The Bid Number Drawing is back! Browse the Silent Auction, bid often and bid high! If you’re the winning bidder on a Silent Auction item, your bid number is going into a drawing for $200 at the Live Auction.

Be sure to find the Library Wish List in the Silent Auction. Our young readers thank you!

The After Party kicks off following the Live Auction and you’re invited. No ticket required, just bring your dancing shoes!

Only 9 Days Until the Gala!

Just 9 days until the Gala!

Thank you for all the great auction item donations, the really cool artwork, countless volunteer hours, and the amazing RSVP response!  We can’t wait to celebrate with you on auction night!

*We are still in need of some A/V Help and a Live Auction Bid Runner. These are auction night roles and would be a good fit for high school students in need of volunteer hours. Also a good fit for a parent not planning to attend the event. Visit the Sign Up Genius for more information.*

Check off your Auction To-Do list!

Have you checked off your Auction To-Do list?

 

PROCURE
The procurement deadline has come and gone, but there is still time – if you act now. Fill out the information online, via the procurement form or through procurement buyout. Our catalog will be going to the printers soon so we have a real “need to know”! To date, just 58% of our school community has fulfilled their auction procurement commitment. Unfulfilled procurement commitments will be billed in June.

VOLUNTEER
Our school is full of amazing volunteers. The Auction Sign Up Genius is almost full! There are still some spots and we’ll add more as we think of them. Another way to earn your volunteer hours is at the Loyal Heights and St. John auctions in the Spring. Loyal Heights will hold their annual auction on March 23, at the Nordic Heritage Museum. St. John’s auction is on April 5, at Fremont Studios. We’ll send out more information leading up to both events.

GET HERE!
Auction RSVP’s are due by Monday, October 29th!  You can RSVP online or via the card included with your invite (there is a drop box in the school office). Don’t forget our “Fill Your Table Challenge”… There is a $50 Dessert Dash credit and more awaiting you!

Find information about the above (and so much more!) on our website.

Calling All Volunteers!

Our Auction Volunteer* Sign Up Genius is alive and well.  Thank you to those already signed up! There are still slots available, and more have been added.

There are quite a few spots suitable for high school students looking for volunteer hours. If you have a high schooler that would like to volunteer, just enter their name (volunteering friends welcome too!) in the comment field of your entry. We can provide email documentation of hours volunteered, if required.

*5 of your families’ 30 volunteer hours should be dedicated to the Auction (2.5 of 15 hours, for pre-school only families).

Auction Dessert Dash Volunteers Needed

“A party without cake is just a meeting.” -Julia Child

Calling all bakers (and baked good lovers)! Karen Leung-Waite is back to take charge of our Dessert Dash once again. Karen is looking for about 25 dessert options this year. Email Karen if you want in on the fun.

Remember, time spent baking or shopping and money spent on baking or shopping count towards your volunteer hours.

Don’t forget to check your inboxes for our Auction Insider, which keeps you up to date on all things Auction related. Past issues can be found on our website.
