The 3rd Annual AICE Silent Auction is FAST APPROACHING (April 15 – 17th, in conjunction with the Spring Musical – “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”)!!! This event will benefit the AICE Program students, AND the SJCCA students!! There are almost 400 students in the AICE Program – many of whom are also involved in the SJCCA program, and about 6 – 8 parents are handling this entire event…so:
1. If EVERY AICE STUDENT/FAMILY donated just one item – that would be a huge boost to the overall benefit this event provides for ALL of the AICE students. Please consider donating an item – doesn’t matter how large or small…gift certificates, sports equipment, art, jewelry, ANYTHING!! You can also go to the SignUp Genius we’ve set up to get more ideas!! Just click the Sign Up button above.
2. You could also donate something from YOUR business or have your student ask a local business for a donation! If students spend time asking for donations, they will earn community service hours for the time they spend doing it!!! If you purchase a gift certificate of some type, consider asking the business to match the amount you’re spending and double the value!
3. Auction posters are available for pick up in the Guidance Office to display around town!! Please send your student to pick up as many as you think you can post to help advertise the event EVERYWHERE!!
4. We need food donations for the final auction event – a reception with finger foods - while people are finalizing their Auction purchases. Things like:
a. finger sandwiches – Walmart makes a very affordable giant sub that can be cut into 1” pieces
b. shrimp cocktail
c. chicken fingers
d. deserts
e. appetizers
f. drinks
g. Paper products
ANYTHING is appreciated!! Please contact Eileen Whittaker at [email protected] and she will provide information about what is needed.
5. Student and parent volunteers to help during the auction hours. Sign-up sheets are in the Guidance Office for students – students earn community service hours for helping! Students must be in “business casual” dress, willing to help pass out fliers, set up the bidding tables, clean up, interact with auction attendees, answer questions.
6. If parents are interested in volunteering, please let me know when you’re available. We will be displaying auction items, setting up, etc. during the following days/times (and you’ll get a first look at all of the GREAT items we have to bid on!!):
a. Friday April 15th 4pm – 8:30pm
b. Saturday April 16th 5pm – 8:30pm
c. Sunday April 17th 12pm – 6pm
Donations can be sent in to school (small ones…) or contact Eileen Whittaker at [email protected] if you need to arrange for a pick up.
PLEASE!!!!! Help in any way you can – and AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! THANK YOU!!
