The Gatewood Bids for Kids Auction has a new home!
The auction has grown quite a bit over the past years, and we felt it was time to grow our website to fit! Head on over to gatewoodauction.org and checkout our new site! All information for this year's auction will be posted there, and this blog, which has served us well, is being retired.
SUCCESS!!
That 70's Auction was a phenomenal success! Thanks to all our magnificent donors and participants we were able to raise over $43,000 for our school! Way to go supporting our community.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Let’s Get Those Procurements In!
Auction is just a month away. Many of you have let me in on your great ideas and I’d like to extend a big thanks to those who have given wonderful items to the auction so far. It’s now time to wrap up the procurement process and get your donations in. There’s still plenty of room for your offering s of services and lessons, artwork, gift sets and re-gifts, and handmade goodies. The instant wine cellar is shaping up nicely. Get your bottle in early to be on the list or bring it the night of the auction to make it a surprise! If you have your something special ready and waiting bring it in this week. I’ll be hanging out by the office in the morning and afternoon. If you need a bit more time to add the finishing touches or would like to pick up something neat while on vacation please bring in your items the Monday we come back, February 22, 2010. Contact anitaschumacher@hotmail.com.

Donations, dessert and help
It's your friendly neighborhood Auction Procurement Chair, Anita Schumacher, here. The Auction is rapidly approaching and your invitations are on their way (if not arrived). I'm here to tell you that it's not too late to help, donate or procure something. We're looking for a few things to help round out our items. Our wish list includes: Big Boy Toys, Overnight stays, Unique Services, your (or your friends) Artistic and Craftsman talents and of course Wine cellar contribution. A list of wine suggestions has been put up at the QFC in Westwood Village if you are in need of ideas. I'm interested in any and all of your unique thoughts.
We are also looking for help! We need people to volunteer the night of the auction. A sign-up sheet is outside the office or e-mail Holly at hollybranch@likeonatree.net. And people to follow up with business in the Alki area. It's really easy and can be fun if you like to get to know the local merchants. You just call or go into a handful of shops to remind them of our letter that was sent out and ask them to donate. If cooking is your talent, talk to Kristin McMahan about donating to the dessert dash at kristinsmcmahan@comcast.net.
Please give me a call or shoot me an e-mail with you ideas and proposals.
