Got WINE?
If you have any leftover wine from the holidays, we would love to take if off your hands! Please participate in our Wine Drive TOMORROW on Monti Circle and Westover before school. Each bottle donated will enter your child into a drawing for a Powell's gift card! Ticket Sales Coming
Did you know that last year tickets for the auction sold out in record time? In a little over a week, all spots were reserved! So, this year, don't be in danger of having to be on the waiting list. On Tuesday, Feb. 4th, the oldest child in your family will be sent home with an envelope containing all auction information. Inside you will find your ticket order form, and all other vital information related to the evening. Please keep it in a handy place! Tickets will be available at an "early bird" price of $60 between Feb. 4-18. Starting Feb. 19th, each ticket will increase to $65. You can purchase tickets by check or online at www.strandwood.org using PayPal (there will be a small service fee for ordering online). Donations and Sponsors
Without the generous donations of goods and services, and our monetary sponsors, this event would not be possible. Last year, we raised over $75,000 because of all the incredible contributions we received from our community. If you have any relationship with a business that you think would like to help out Strandwood, please let us know. We are most successful in attaining a donation when we have a personal connection. Donation letters and forms are available here. Print out a few and keep them with you. Your hairstylist, mechanic, or chiropractor may all be willing to help. Remember that it is good advertising for them, too! Thanks to our first sponsor of the 2013 Dinner Dance Auction: Dr. Sebastian Lavino! Even though we "hit the links" on March 2, the parties keep going all year! You know Strandwood loves a reason to get together! We already have some of our favorite sign-up parties in the works, but do you have an idea for your own party?? How about a poker party, cookie decorating, tea party, 80's Flashback, Great Gatsby.... These parties make up some of the largest part of our auction income and are a great way for kids to be together and for adults to take a break and meet new families! Co-host with a friend or a few families and plan together! Please contact Jessie Thomas with your ideas!
