Alumni Communication - May 6, 2006

 


Hello BHS Class of 1986!

Need Help!

We're still asking for donations for Saturday night's raffle / silent auction / giveaways.
We're looking for merchandise, service or merchandise gift certificates, etc. Gift cards are easy to send if you live out-of-state. Besides yourself, how about your company, spouse's company, family members, etc?

Examples: company merchandise or giveaways; sporting tickets; day at beauty salon; babysitting; dinner coupons; artist - works of art; hairdresser - basket of hair care products; interior designer - free room makeover; landscape artist - plant; tire store manager - 20% discount to any of his stores nationwide; airline pilot - buddy passes; handmade afghans and quilts; etc.

There will three things going on Saturday night:

1. Raffle: Raffle tickets will be sold for $2/per ticket or $5/per three tickets. Each raffle item will have a container in front of it so you can try to win only the prizes you really want!

2. Silent Auction: A silent auction will be held for high price items. A silent auction is where donated items are placed in a central location with a bid sheet and a starting bid. By 10:00pm, the person who placed the highest bid for an item will be awarded that item. Payment is made immediately after all bid winners are announced.

3. Giveaways: A bag of giveaways will be passed out at the end of Saturday night's banquet to every classmate!

We've already received some AMAZING donations! You have to check out the link "Raffle/Giveaways" to see what all has been donated so far. Two exciting items that will up for the silent auction is a one week beach house vacation rental in Holden Beach, NC, and a one year membership to Anchorage's World Gym. I'm telling you, we've been receiving some really cool stuff!

So please donate to this raffle/silent auction/giveaways -- contact me as soon as possible.

Thanks!
