AUCTION RESULTS!!
Thanks to each and every one of you who supported our 2009 Come Together Auction that took place on Friday, November 20th!! We were so pleased to see so many folks attend and volunteer- this included Masters rowers, junior parents, SRA staff and guests, SRA supporters, junior rowers and SRA alumni. The items that you all procured were fantastic, and we surpassed our goal for our convertible 4+/4x Fund-an-Item! Everyone looked fantastic and the atmosphere in the ballroom was enthusiastic. A HUGE thanks to Melissa Grimaldi and Shelly Warden, SRA auction chairs, and their AMAZING auction committee for putting this night together so fabulously.
And now for the totals……. Our preliminary net proceeds for the night is coming in at over $40,000, which includes the fund-an-item proceeds to purchase our convertible 4+/4x!!!!! Our equipment committee will be meeting in December to create a plan for the auction funds not committed to our fund-an-item. Some of these funds will go directly to our scholarship account which is CRUCIAL for allowing us to continue to provide rowing classes and regattas to everyone regardless of ability to pay. THANK YOU to everyone for your support at this event.
There is still the opportunity to give to this event, especially if you were unable to attend on Friday. We currently have 5 spots open on the WEEVE’s bike ride through Skagit valley- these spots can be purchased at $100 and are open to anyone! We also have 3 spots open on the Christmas Cruise taking place on an SRA rower/junior parent’s yacht this holiday season. These spots are available at $250/couple. If you’d like to learn more about either of these events or would like to purchase your spot, please contact Marcy asap!
