The 2010 Laurelhurst Auction

David — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:12:57 +0000

The Annual Laurelhurst Auction and Party is the biggest fundraising event of the school year. But, it’s also a fun and funky party where Laurelhurst parents can come together and celebrate our great kids and school. And dance a little, too if you feel the urge. The main event of the night is the Auction though, where you can bid on small and big-ticket items, services and even vacations. And, it’s all for a good cause–we’re raising money for our cherished teachers and valued language and the arts programs that enrich kids’ lives. Click the image above for a larger view!

The Kickoff Meeting for the Auction took place last night at Laurelwood Public House, and was well attended by Laurelhurst parents with great enthusiasm and great ideas! Thank you so much to everyone who attended! But, it’s not too late for you to volunteer as well! We still need people to help with procurement, organizing and merchandising auction items, getting event sponsors and advertisers, and working at the auction the night of the event. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though. Contact us today to find out what you can do for our school.

Auction Item Procurement
If you have procured auction items in the past and would like to do so again, please find procurement forms in the school office. When the form is complete, please leave the correct copy with the donor and return the other copies to the office. Thank you!
