The All Saints Auction and Casino Night
Posted Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Your PTO has made some changes to the Extravaganza based on the results of the surveys that were completed in February. Now we are looking for your help to make- over this evening. First, we want to clarify the purpose for this annual event: To be a fund- raising and community building event to directly benefit our children and school families. We hope that making some changes will encourage more parents to attend – make some new friends, have a great time out and raise funds for our school.
The survey identified two main issues for the majority of respondents. The ticket price was the number one issue for most people responding. By changing the evening from a sit down dinner to having heavy hors d’oeuvres/desserts and coffee, we will be able to reduce the ticket price in half, to $25.00 per person. Secondly, a more casual dress was preferred; therefore the dress will be Sunday/Church attire. We will remain at Heritage Hunt this year as other venues of a similar size were already booked for our date. For a new twist, we will be doing a Casino themed event. Your ticket price will include a packet of “play” money to be used at the casino tables. We will continue to have the live and silent auctions, heads or tails game, and raffle tickets as before.
Now we need you! An event like this requires a team of volunteers. This is a great opportunity to put your stamp on our new and improved evening. Please, prayerfully consider helping out in some way. We need a few key people now to get things started.
Listed below are the different committees that need a chair or lead. If you have an interest or questions, please call Beth Ross at 703-753-1740.
