Important Benefit Info

Those of you who are attending the dinner Friday will hear more details, but there are some ways some of you may want to participate before and during the event.  I thought I'd give you all a heads up:

1. Mike Clark donated a $1200 all-inclusive custom designed two-day overnight river trip for up to 6 people to our cause.  We are taking silent bids for this trip leading up to the event and will continually post the current highest bid.  There is no minimum bid.  If you're interested in bidding on this trip, you may do so in person at the River Kids table in the hall at NCS, or via email.  If you use email, I will update you if someone outbids you.  Bidding will be open until Friday, Sept 18 at 4:30pm.  At that point I'll post the current bid for one last entry by any involved parties. The virtual silent auction begins now.
2. We are accepting pledges for donations.  There are forms at the RK table in the hall.  ANY amount will make a difference.  You may donate a one time amount or donate an amount per ton of trash cleaned at the September 19 cleanup.  You may also make a pledge via email.  Final payment will be due on pledges in November.
3. Kayak Raffle - People have been asking if we'll be raffling another kayak or canoe this year.  No canoe, but the inflatable kayak will be back. We will be selling an unlimited number of tickets at $5 a piece or 5 tickets for $20.  Raffle tickets will be on sale in the hall at NCS next week.

I should note that Big Shark Bicycle Shop has donated a bike as well.  As a little added incentive to come party with us on September 20, the bike will be an attendance prize given away to start the event.

I hope to see many of you at the event.  However, if you cannot attend the event, you'll consider participating in one of these other ways.

Thank you thank you!  And please email me if you have any questions.
