Update on The Auction You Can’t Refuse

The Auction You Cant RefuseMajor Funding Event for Stateline, NV Elementary, Middle and High Schools

As some of you may know I got "volunteered" to help our local schools orgainze one of the major fundraisers. And I’m glad I did. It’s a lot of work  putting this event together, and I’ll continue updating our progress, but whats so much fun is we really are doing something of real value for each and every child in our schools.

I’m also meeting more school staff, teachers and parents than I would ever otherwise, and this has been, and continues to be a great joy for me, Gary and our families.

Here’s a piece we put out yesterday to all parents who have children in grades K-12, and the staff at each school as well.

If you are here, support the event, buy tickets and come. If you’re afar, well… the last time I mentioned this event here a guy who read about it in Austin, Texas, who not only has no child at our schools, but none on the planet (that he knows of) donated $500 to our schools, and he’s flying in for the event as well.

This certainly begs the question "if somebody in Texas, with no dog in the hunt so to speak, can donate $500 to our schools, what about you?"

Below is yesterdays parent email blast about some of the key auction items for the event.  I hope you enjoy.
