35th Anniversary Silent Action Update

The auction committee is very happy and grateful to announce that we now have a sufficient number of donations for our auction on August 9th. Your generosity has been a blessing. At this time, we are asking that you email Patty Kobus via goodkobus@yahoo.com
  1. The complete donation description
  2. A picture if possible
  3. The estimated value, if you wish. This will secure your firm placement on the auction table(s) and help the committee for planning the donation check-in and arrangement of auction tables, etc.
Patty will respond to your email and finalize our catalogue of each donor and the donation. If you have any questions, please email the address above and we will clear up any confusion, etc.

Donors, when you arrive at The Lodge in Mauston, you will drop off your donation at the registration in the lobby or be directed to the donation room where we will tag your item and store it for safe keeping. You will have your name inscribed on a donators' sign board to be displayed in the banquet room in gratitude for your generosity.

Everyone who wants to bid at the auction, bring your checkbook or cash for the purchase of bid tickets. Our donors and bidders can be proud of their contributions to three worthy charities: Tunnels to Towers, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and/or Wisconsin Humane Society. If you buy auction tickets by check, you can write the check to the charity of your choice!

"Polaroid" pix at 35th Anniversary Banquet
"Do you remember how fun Polaroid photos were, back in the day? Event photographer Jeremy Zorns will be prepared to take Polaroid portraits during the banquet. If you're interested, please let Jeremy know by email to jzorns@gmail.com and bring $2 cash for a photo (to pay for the expensive film) and he will happily provide a modern-day photo. He needs an approximate count, so he can be sure to have enough film on hand.

There is an improved technology out now called Instax by Fujifilm. It is a higher quality, more archival equivalent to the old Polaroid. Print size is about the same.

Jeremy has found that sometimes when photos are taken but not printed, they just tend to disappear and a "Polaroid" would be a fun memento of this momentous occasion.

Please let him know by the end of June, so there's time to order the film and have it cheaply shipped to him."!
