November 6, Saturday, 6-9 pm - Black & White Service Auction
Convenor: Nancy MarshallOur biggest fundraiser, the Black & White Auction & Boutique, offers many ways for you to be involved in helping our congregation.
Before the event we need people to man the information and ticket-selling table after church in September and October. In October several people will call fellow members to solicite donations. Others will buy food for the kids, order the cakes and get decorations.
With the addition of the Gift Basket Raffle this year, we will need members to put together themed baskets. Many members make a variety of items for the Boutique (see seperate article).
Another way you can help is if you have “connections” – friends or a business – that could donate something for the event. This could be coffee, a gourmet coffee cart, or even a few of the individual cup coffee machines and fancy coffee supplies. Other ideas include tickets, party supplies (plates, cups, napkins) or balloons – anything that will help keep ours costs down. Do you know of a business that would donate a gift basket for the raffle or a service for the auction? Please let Jen King, Nancy Marshall or Karen McVey know if you can help out with your connections!
On the day of the event we need people to set up the Boutique and decorate Cole Hall. Then during the event members will take/sell tickets, set up and serve refreshments, play music, run the Boutique and Gift Basket Raffle, act as auctioneer, record the bids, cashier, do child care and, afterwards, clean up.
If you have helped with the Black & White in the past, we'll soon be calling you! If you would like to change what you do or are a new volunteer, please let Jen, Nancy or Karen know or stop by the information table in September.
And thank you in advance. We know you will have fun and we couldn't do this without you!
