Every athlete need a quality silent auctions item, this is where we make most of our money. We will also be doing a raffle and a concession. Everyone will be required to sell tickets for the raffle and bring baked goods for the concession. Hello from your Silent Auction Team, Cynthia Westaway and Mona Marshy It is already time for all to assist in the Silent Auction effort by finding some excellent Silent Auctions items from our community and from your contacts. Remember, the money we make goes towards the race waxes, which help make us so fast! We have a new simple system to electronically sign up your items. All you need to do is quickly check our list of donations to date to avoid duplication, ask for donations and then get your contributions added to our list! (Note that we will leave Pierre Gravel Chief of Vendors to approach all the local ski shops and bigger Sponsors for Silent Auction items ie Greg Christie, Fresh Air, Peccos and the Cyclery.) Step One: Go to this link and check to see what is already on the list. http://chelseanordiq.ivolunteer.com/auctionitemsrcd_2015 (this is very important to ensure that we do not keep asking the same merchants multiple times) Step Two: Once you have your auction item promised or in hand, go to this same link http://chelseanordiq.ivolunteer.com/auctionitemsrcd_2015 Enter your email address, first and last name, item description (short), donor name and estimated value (if known; ie. this is optional,the rest are required fields). Step Three: Drop off your items by arrangement with Mona or Cynthia before November 6.(this is important so that bid sheets can be prepared ahead of time) Contact Cynthia or Mona at skiswap.silentauction@chelseanordiq.ca if you have any questions or run into any challenges. Thanks for all your help and let’s get started early so we have some great items for our Auction!
