We will be putting our best paws forward for this year’s gala auction, and we really want YOU to come join in the fun. The event will be held in Griffith Hall, a part of the Ludwig’s Corner Fire Company with a start time of 2 PM. As in the past, we will have 15 silent auction tables followed by a live auction, run by Bud and Annette Smith of Smith Auction Company, with approximately 45 items.
When and where is the event? The date is Sunday, November 2nd from 2-4:30 p.m. which is the first day after daylight savings time ends. Registration begins at 1:45. Silent auction tables will begin closing around 3:15. The event will be held in Griffith Hall, a part of Ludwig’s Corner Fire Company. The address is 1325 North Pottstown Pike, Glenmoore, PA.
Where do I get tickets? The price of admission is $20 per person in advance (by October 26th), and $25 at the door, or Oct 27th forward. There are no physical tickets. You can purchase admission here on our website using a major credit card. Your name will be on a list of attendees, so you will only need to check in at the door. We strongly encourage ticket purchase in advance and appreciate receiving your payment as early as is practical. Tickets at the door will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Dress/Health Please wear comfortable clothing and perhaps wear layers as the temperature in the hall can change as more people arrive.
How can I help make this event a success? If you would like to contribute a new item for the auction, please contact Henry (contact info is below). Also, we could use help advertising the event. We can send you a flyer to print out via email (contact Linda Petro at cscdpeach2@aol.com) or click to download here. We welcome event guarantors whose contributions will help cover expenses as well as increase our final profit margin substantially. If you would like to bring a food item, please contact Ann Kunsch (ann_fran@outlook.com).
What type of items are acceptable for the auction? Unique items, restaurant gift certificates, practical items, jewelry, items of value, and bottles of wine tend to go well at the auction. Since we have limited table space, we may not be able to accommodate many larger items with a value of less than $60.00. It is best to donate items that are completely ready to go to auction. Please make sure to put your name on your items.
What is the deadline to donate items? The deadline is Sunday, October 13th. After that date, we may still be able to take high quality items that will bring a good price at the auction. Please do not bring items to the auction as last-minute additions. The earlier we receive items, the easier it is for us to plan!
I’ve never been to one of your auctions. What makes your auctions so special? Our auctions are highly organized to maximize fun. You will find items for any budget and all profits go directly to our cat rescue efforts. Many people come every year and just rave about the event. Don’t hesitate to come! You won’t be disappointed!
What payment is accepted at the event? Cash and checks for purchases under $100.00. Credit cards can be used for purchases over that amount.
