SILENT AUCTION FOR THE NEW LIBRARY
Hi Friends,
On August 1ST there will be an afternoon BBQ at the Roeliff Jansen Park.
It will be a celebration and fundraiser for the new
ROELIFF JANSEN COMMUNITY LIBRARY.
You may have noticed the new building going up (on Route 22). It will be complete in June.

The BBQ promises to be lots of fun and we are expecting a large turnout. There will be a band, lots of yummy food, activities for the children and great walks through the park.  For the second year in a row we will present a Silent Auction. Last year’s auction was a great success and we would like to top it this year. What made the auction fun is that we had creative, quality offerings for everyone: from beautiful fine art, to theater tickets, to food and wine. We had lots of wonderful consulting offerings: from gardening to cooking to interior design. Here are a few thought starters:
...do you have tickets to a game, show, event, ballet, Tanglewood etc. that you will not be using and that we can auction off?
...are you an expert? can we auction off your time or consultation: landscape designer, architect, yoga instructor, masseuse, personal trainer, gardening expert, bird expert, chef, wine expert....etc?
...are you an author?...can we have a few signed copies of your book...
...are you a photographer? would you be willing to auction a sitting for a portrait, or photograph someone's home or dog?
...are you a car mechanic? would you do a free tune-up?
...are you an art historian or a local historian...would you take a small group on a learning tour?
...are you famous? would you make an answer phone message for one lucky bidder?
...do you have special handicrafts that you make to auction off?
...are you a lecturer? would you auction off a lecture.
...do you grow trees? can we auction some off?
...do you own a restaurant or establishment in the area? Can we offer a meal, some products...etc.

You get the idea! The new library is an exciting addition to our community...please pass this message on to your friends and help make this silent auction fun for everyone! All ideas should be sent to me...please be sure to include your name, address and phone # along with e-mail. Many thanks and don't forget to save the date!
