2010 Gala & Auction - Night in New Orleans - November 6, 2010

marriott.jpg (124291 bytes)The 8th Annual Gala & Auction, Night in New Orleans, will be held one week earlier than previous years and we want you to be involved in new and exciting ways! Save the Date for the evening of November 6, at the Marriott Solana, but begin now to decide how you can be a part of this event throughout the next few months!

Take a look at some of this year's auction items...

Tickets
Get your tickets early and save! Tickets are $30 starting September 12. Then, starting October 3, tickets are $35.

Why Do an Auction?
The proceeds from each year's auction go directly to "fill the hole" in some amazing ways. Traditionally raising around $40,000 from sponsorships and donations to our live, big board and silent auctions, the largest hole we fill each year is by giving to The World Service Fund. This fund supports a network of missionaries and others who serve in the name of Christ around the world. The fund also supports local church work with children, youth, singles, students, the mentally and physically challenged adults and older person and serves as a foundation for Christian higher learning. 
The Gala & Auction committee will soon be making decisions on additional outreach ministries which will receive a portion of the proceeds. Following our church-wide study of The Hole in Our Gospel, and with our Compass Team studying the great ideas that came out of our church’s “What’s Next?” Session, we are sure to continue our momentum of being the hands and feet of Christ by filling significant holes through the most successful Gala & Auction in our church’s history!

What Can I Do?
We want you to be a part of the excitement, and there are so many different ways you can be! If you would like to serve individually on our teams in the planning, gathering of and/or donating items for the auctions, decorating the day of, volunteering the night of, being a table sponsor, buying tickets to attend, bidding by proxy if you cannot attend… you are welcome to contact us! If you belong to a small group Bible Study or Share Group or Sunday School Class and would like your group to be a part of this, please let us know. If you would like to help with the
Gala & Auction in any way, contact Paula Davis at pia_davis@att.net
