MLHS Alumni Association

WINTERFEST SILENT AUCTION


 

What do Shopping, Basketball, and Eating have in Common?

MLHS WINTERFEST 2015

 

The Titan Nation is invited to ML on Saturday, February 14th to spend Valentine's Day with the High School they love!  Browse our halls to find something to bid on at the silent auction or take in some basketball games in the gym.  Enjoy a Titan Burger at our ML concessions Stand!  Winterfest 2015 will be a memory because of the Titan Nation coming together.  


MATCHING FUNDS!

The Alumni Association has received a matching cash donation, from an anonymous donor, for the Silent Auction. This donor will match up to $500 in cash donations to the Alumni during the upcoming Silent Auction. That means that your $5 cash donation is actually equal to $10, your $50 donation is equal to $100! Your cash donation to the Silent Auction can be doubled up to $500. So, during the Silent Auction on February 13 & 14, if you can't find anything to bid on, or maybe can't make it out for the Auction, please consider a cash donation. Remember, this is a fundraiser for the Alumni Association and the majority of the money received is donated to tuition assistance for the students at ML. If you can't make it to the auction, please send any donations to ML in care of Keith Hafer and make checks payable to "MLHS Alumni Association". Your support of the Silent Auction will help students be able to attend MLHS.
