Holly Avenue Silent Auction Fundraiser
Dear Parents,
By now you are aware that we at Holly Avenue are holding our Open Hou=
se this coming Thursday evening, May 13, 2010 from 5:30 =E2=80=93 7:00 pm.<=
SPAN style=3D"mso-spacerun: yes"> What you may not know is tha=
t at the same time we are having our first Silent Auction to help raise ver=
y needed funds for our school. This auction takes place in the auditorium between 5:00 =E2=80=93 7:45 p=
m.
With the financial crisis in California, all kinds of cutbacks are re=
ducing the funds we have to purchase necessary supplies, so we go without.<=
SPAN style=3D"mso-spacerun: yes"> With your help, we hope to c=
lose that gap and provide our students, your children, with the best we pos=
sibly can.
Our principal, teachers, students and staff have volunteered many hou=
rs to offer a great selection of Silent Auction items. In case you don=E2=80=99t know, a Silent Auction=
is where items are displayed for people to bid on. Bid sheets are provided so that you can enter a bid=
, and if you bid the highest amount for any item, it is yours, and you will=
purchase it at the end of the evening.&n=
bsp; You will see what the minimum bid is, and how much you need to =
bid above that at a minimum to raise the bid. For example, if a minimum bid is $25.00 and the raise mus=
t be $10.00, then someone can open the bidding at $25.00, and the next bid =
must be at least $35.00, and so on.
So, before, after or while you are visiting your children=E2=80=99s r=
ooms, please help us out by going to the auditorium and see what is availab=
le, and place as many bids as you like.&n=
bsp; You are free to revisit the bids until 7:10 pm for the Class Ar=
t items, 7:20 pm for the Class Basket items, and 7:30 pm for the Special Ev=
ents items. At 7:45 you will=
complete your purchase for any winning bids and the items become yours.
Attached is a full list of all the items being offered, and include t=
he starting bids as well. Pl=
ease join us and have a great time on Thursday evening.
