Hopefully your calendar is set for the CCLS Dinner Auction on 2-12-15. As a classroom, 8A has the cool opportunity to participate, even if not everyone can attend the auction itself. Our classroom is going to take part in the "2-2-1-1-5 Classroom Challenge"! The great part about it is that if we complete the challenge, our class will receive a Free Dress and Popcorn Day. I know that I would love to wear jeans to work! :-)
Here is what 2-2-1-1-5 stands for:
2 Volunteers--2 Desserts--1 Auction Item--1 Table of Guests--5 Raffle Tickets
2--Desserts
- Sign up to donate a special dessert to the Dinner Auction. Guests will bid on a dessert to enjoy with dinner, so we are looking for desserts that will bring top dollar! Desserts may be homemade or purchased and should be valued at not less than $20. After you sign up, you will be contacted by the Dessert Auction Coordinator with more details.
2--Volunteers
- Donate your time as a volunteer worker on the day of the dinner auction (February 21). Volunteer workers are needed to help with set up (in the morning), to serve guests and monitor the auction during the event (evening), and to clean up (evening). After you sign up, you will be contacted by the Volunteer Coordinator with more information.
1—Table of Guests (1 Table=10 Guests)
- Sign up to attend the dinner auction and sit with other parents in your child's class. Or, buy an entire table and fill it with your family members and other friends! Tickets are $65 each or $600 for a table of 10. After you sign up, you will be contacted by a representative of the Dinner Auction Planning Committee to complete the registration and payment process.
1--Item
- Donate an item to be auctioned at the event: Merchandise, services, travel/recreation/entertainment/sports experiences, and gift certificates are popular. The item should be valued at not less than $25. Fill out a Donation Form and bring it with your item to the elementary or middle school office. Donation deadline is January 16.
5—Raffle Tickets
- Sign up and purchase a ticket ($30 each or 4 for $100) for the Tuition Raffle. The winner of the raffle may select from 1 year of free tuition for the 2015-16 school year (in the amount of the CCLS association member rate) or $3,000 cash. By signing up at this link, you authorize your TADS account to be charged for the number of tickets ordered. Tickets will be delivered to you byJanuary 30.
That's it! If we all contribute together, this is an easy way to support CCLS.
The deadline for completing the Challenge is January 16, 2015. If you have any questions about the Challenge, or the Dinner Auction in general, please feel free to contact Jen Pawlitz, Dinner Auction Co-Chair, or Erica Eggerding, Acquisitions Manager, at auction@ccls-stlouis.org.
