Dear St.
Francis Community Organizations,
The past
Holiday
tree and wreath auctions have been a huge success thanks to the support we
received from various organizations of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
The trees from last year’s auction raised funds for the St. Francis St.
Vincent de Paul Society. Everyone
enjoyed the fellowship and friendly competition as members from the different
organizations came to view the trees and encourage the bidding.
This
year’s Holiday Tree & Wreath Auction and Holiday Bazaar will be held on Saturday, October 27, 2012.
We hope that your organization will again participate in the event by
decorating and donating a tree and/or wreath.
As you know it is a fun team building activity which demonstrates each
group’s creativity.
This
year we are requesting that all trees & wreaths be ready by Friday, October 26, 2012.
They will be “silent auctioned” to the highest bidders on October 27nd
during the annual Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary Holiday Bazaar.
Any trees remaining will be donated to local charities.
Attached
you will find a document listing the specifications for the trees and/or wreath
and some suggestions that will help you make your tree and/or wreath as
memorable as the one from past auctions.
Also attached is an application for you to fill out and return.
Please return your application to Mary Lamanno via email to
ladiesauxiliarybazaar@hotmail.com by October 19, 2012.
Proceeds
from this year’s auction will again benefit the St. Francis St. Vincent de Paul
Society.
We
hope that you will consider participating in the 2012 Holiday Tree &Wreath
Auction. Designing and decorating a
tree and/or wreath is a tremendous amount of fun and fellowship that precedes
the beginning of preparations for Christmas.
We will identify each tree and/or wreath with a sign stating the
designing organization and its theme.
Should
you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
Thank
you for your consideration.
Mary
