ONE LAST WORD
YO YO
WE LEFT THE SCENE
THE HOUSE IS CLEAN
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
BUT M Y MIND IS BLOWN

BY THE PEOPLE SARAH’S KNOWN

THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED MAKE THIS FUNDRAISER A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS

SILENT AUCTION “BUY IT NOW” PRICE LIST
Especially for our remote bidders, here is the list of silent auction items with “buy it now” prices. If you would like to purchase an item for the buy it now price, send an email to sarahhensonbenefitfund@gmail.com stating the item number, the description, and the buy it now price. Upon receiving the email, we will send a runner to the bidding area and mark the item “sold” and reply to your email. In the event that someone else has already done the “buy it now”, we will reply to your email and tell you that also.

ONE MORE THING
You might think that you don’t need anything at the silent auction and you might think that you don’t want anything at the live auction. You might even think that you don’t have much spare money right now. Well, don’t let that keep you away. There is no cover charge, so come on down anyway. Here is how YOU can contribute. On each table, we will have a jar for spare change. Dig in that “change jar” or under the sofa cushions, or in your sock drawer, or whereever you keep all those nickels and dimes and quarters. Bring them down and put them in a jar. Whether you bring $5 or $50, you are going to help Sarah pay her mortgage for the next whole year. That is our goal and that is what we are going to do.
