Time & Talent Auction Coming Your Way May 7
Please See Attached Flyer and Feel Free to Share this Announcement With Friends & Family
Stay after the service on May 7 for lunch and our major annual fundraiser, the Time & Talent Auction! Two things are necessary: bidders (that's where friends and family come in...) and stuff to bid on (that's where we all come in). FYI: For those who have friends attending the lunch and auction, but not the service, let them know that the start time is noon, lunch is free, wine available for a donation, and the desserts will be auctioned.
Donation forms are available online at:
http://www.uupetaluma.org/auction.doc
Highlights of items already donated include a consultation by member and interior designer Martha Murphy, and a very full basket of Grateful Dead related items from the band itself and from Bill Walton.
Auction update!
Additional items donated this week include pet care, a custom knitted scarf, theatre tickets, several home-cooked meals, and week's stay in a seaside cabin on beautiful Deer Isle, Maine (June 17-24, 2006)!
This just in!
Entertainment will be provided by the house band of Cotati's Frog Song
Cohousing community: The Common House Band. They play an eclectic mix of familiar and not-so-familiar tunes, appropriate for all ears.
Menu announced!
Lunch will be a variety of pasta dishes, with wine to accompany available for a donation. Dessert will kick off the auction--you can buy one for your table, and become extremely popular very quickly!
****
If you are wondering what you could possibly donate, give a thought to your hobbies and vocation! If you are an entrepreneur, this is an excellent opportunity to let the UUP and wider community know about your business!
Do you have a truck? An expertise that you could share? Do you own a cabin in the mountains where a high bidder could stay? Do you like to whip up a dinner party? Let your imagination run wild.
We are also looking for a few high-quality items for the silent auction
portion of the event. And, at the start of the auction, we'll be auctioning
off desserts, so if you bake, please consider adding to our store of
yummies.
Questions? Ask David Dodd, who will also happily accept your
filled-out donation forms.
