All
profits go to the KHCA Legal Defense Fund to continue our opposition to the proposed Costco mega gas station at Westfield Wheaton.
Gas
Station Certificates Raffle: Several
local gas stations have donated gift certificates in varying amounts (up to
$100)! We will hold a raffle and award the certificates at the same time we end
the silent auction at 8:30 pm. Someone
holding your lucky ticket needs to present for you to win. And the best thing is, even Costco can’t beat
those prices if you get picked! $2 per
entry; 3 for $5.
Silent
Auction: We
will have very special items available for silent auction (see an initial
listing below). Each item will have a
minimum bid – after you sign up, you just check back to see if you’ve been
outbid, and bid again – just like on Ebay.
And, like on Ebay, if you can’t bear the thought of someone else getting
the item, we’ll have “Buy It Now” prices too!
The cut-off for all bids will be at 8:30 pm during the Dance Party, so
be sure to be there so you can make the high bid and claim that must-have item
that night. (All payments must be made
at the end of the bidding.) For more
details, contact Karen Cordry (karenc425@aol.com).
