Silent Auction surveys are coming home in Friday folders today!
As many of you know, in the past Silent Auction has been a family event and was combined with Movie Night. This year, we are trying something new. Instead of a family event, this year's Silent Auction will be a parent event. It will be held off-site (still making the final decision on venue). We hope that an event without kids will give parents the opportunity to connect with one another, and also offer more time to peruse all the fabulous baskets available without distraction.
Silent Auction Chairs and WPPA board members have already met several times over the summer and fall. We value your feedback as details for this event continue to be finalized. The Chairs have been hard at work planning and will continue to do so for the next several months. Please take a just few minutes to read fill out the survey.
Thanks to Shannon Geier and Carolie Carlson, this year's Chairs, who have already put a ton of time and energy into planning. Silent Auction is an important event, it's one of WPPA's biggest fundraisers ... last year, it brought in over $7k! Please make sure to thank this year's Chairs for stepping up to fill this role, and for all their hard work!
Just a reminder, Silent Auction will be on Friday, March 19.
