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!
