At Home in the Pacific Northwest
Join us in celebrating all that makes the Pacific Northwest special. We have beautiful beaches, mountains, forests and an abundance of nature’s bounty, all right outside our doors. We also have some pretty special people: You! The Madeleine School has been blessed by faithful supporters with the common goal of ensuring our students' and school’s future success.
The annual Madeleine Auction is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year, helping to keep tuition affordable for more families and to keep the quality of education high for all students. Simply put, without the auction the Madeleine School would not be what it is today.
Despite its lofty purpose, the Madeleine Auction is also the biggest (and most fun) social event of the year for our parish and our school. It’s the perfect time to build community, make new friends and to reconnect with people you haven't seen for awhile.
But most of all, it's a time when we can all come together and work on behalf of our most important assets: our children.
We look forward to seeing you...
At Home in the Pacific Northwest!
On auction night, our parish hall will be transformed into a Northwest paradise. It will truly be a night to remember. Right now, before you get distracted by something else in your day, go to the family calendar and write down the details:
At Home in the Pacific Northwest, the 2010 Madeleine Auction
Date: Saturday, November 6, 2010
Location: The Madeleine Parish Hall
The evening's events
As you might expect, the center of the event is the live auction, where past auction patrons have won everything from whitewater rafting trips to vacations in St. Thomas. But there's much more.
Silent Auction. Hundreds of items where you can find some great deals...and maybe an early start on your Christmas shopping. During the Silent Auction, look for special opportunities to purchase Best of the Best tickets, Treasure Chest keys or Surprise Item balloons.
Easel Items. These are usually group events where a number of people can sign up for dinners, outings, revelry. There is something for everyone, from adults-only elegant dinners to all-out family fun gatherings.
Dinner and Oral Auction: This is truly the centerpiece of the evening. Enjoy a delicious dinner of Pacific Northwest specialties and have the chance to bid on vacation homes, dinners and more!
