Auction 2011
Dear Friends of the Rotary Club of Wells,
On Thursday, May 19th from 4:30 to 10:30 pm, Wells Rotary will hold its 17TH ANNUAL TV AUCTION. This is a much anticipated event and is the major fundraiser for the club. The auction will be seen on local Time Warner Cable channel 9 in Maine viewing area.
Our recent endeavors include raising $60,000 for the Wells Recreation Pavilion, which officially opened last fall. Annually we assist local families in need with holiday gifts and food baskets; and the Red Cross blood drive. We've doubled the value of scholarships given to Wells High School graduates and York County Community College students.
This year Wells Rotary has made donations to the Maine Boy Scouts (Pine Tree Council); the town of Wells general fund for fuel assistance, and we've purchased two shelter boxes for survivors of the Haitian earthquake.
Rotary proudly sponsors the Wells High School Interact Club which fosters the Rotary principle of Service Above Self. Our Wrap-A-Smile quilt program has provided over 12,000 quilts to children recovering from cleft lip and palate surgeries.
Your donation will make it possible for the Wells Rotary Club to continue to support these and other important projects. Participation in our auction publicizes your business and recognizes you as a supporter of the Rotary Club of Wells and its mission. Businesses and their donations receive pre-auction and on-air advertising.
Items valued at $50-$149 will be aired for 45 minutes.
Items valued at $150-$999 will be aired on our Big Board for 2 ½ hours.
Items valued over $1000 will be placed on our Mega Board and will air for the entire auction.
Auction items will be listed and pictured on our web site www.wellsrotary.org
The Wells Rotarian calling on you will be happy to answer any questions and pick up your item. It is most important that you fill out the attached form completely to assure that your item and business will receive the maximum exposure.
Your generosity helps us help others. Thank you.
