GPA Indy Message Silent Auction: Sent on behalf of the GPA Indy Picnic Committee

[Lynda Lilly]

GPA Indy's 7th Annual Picnic is September 21st this year. As you all know,
at the picnic we hold a "Silent Auction" and raffle.  This event is one of
the largest fundraisers of the year for GPA Indy. The silent auction offers
goods and/or services for people at the picnic to bid upon.  

 

A key component to a fun, successful, silent auction is to have enough goods
and/or services for people to bid upon. Securing these donated goods and/or
services, is where we need and will greatly appreciate your help. 

 

That is why we need lots of people (people just like you!) who may know
somebody that would donate goods and/or services to help the Greyhounds.
Everybody knows somebody. family & friends, neighbors, business associates,
the guy who makes your latte at Starbucks, your beautician, your pet food
store manager, a trusted veterinarian, and owners of businesses where you
shop. These donations certainly do not have to be dog specific items, and
while the bidders at the auction will definitely be dog friendly, they will
have many interests and likes that would make most any donation appealing to
someone in attendance. Along with goods and/or services, gift certificates
and gift cards are welcome donations, too. 

 

For record keeping and disclosure purposes, all donations need to include
the name of the donor and an estimated retail or fair market value. Please
be sure this information is included when the donations are obtained from
the donor.   The Committee reserves the right to uses its judgment in
deciding which items go into the Silent Auction or Raffle.

 

The deadline for securing donated gifts for the silent auction is September
5th, 2008.   Please contact Katie Jones, Marilyn and/or Tom Hamilton to
coordinate delivery, pick-up or mailing of the gift donations that you are
able to secure for GPA Indy.  Marilyn and Tom can be reached at phone number
317-882-8583 or by e-mail at paxton4 at sbcglobal.net and Katie Jones can be
reached at 317-502-2882 or by e-mail to katie.jones at allstate.com.

 

Your time and consideration to help GPA Indy produce a successful Picnic
will be greatly appreciated. They can't tell you in so many words, but I am
sure that the Greyhounds will be forever greytful for your help too!!!
