What is an Auction?

February 4th All Saints Catholic School will be hosting our first school auction. The theme for the evening is Reach for the Starts…Lights, Camera, Auction!  For those of you who have never attended an auction let me tell you a little bit about the evening.  It is somewhat dressy affair designed to provide families and friends the opportunity to come together to socialize and dine while also raising money for the school.  This is our main fundraiser.  The evening begins with appetizers and a wine/beer/cocktail reception.  Guests will be invited to peruse and perhaps bid on one of the many auction items displayed, purchase a gift card from the restaurant tree, take a chance on a raffle ticket or simply enjoy one another’s company.  At the appointed time the guests will be invited to move into the main dining area (gym at north campus) which will be transformed to create an elegant atmosphere.  Dinner will be served and a voice auction will then take place in which people are invited to bid on larger items such as a condo in Breckenridge or Florida, tickets to a game or some other exciting event.  We encourage all of our families to attend.  The cost of the ticket is $45.00 (if purchased before January 13th) and $55.00 after January 13th and includes appetizers, wine/beer/soda and dinner.  Invite your friends to join in the fun as well.
