Gala Dinner & Auction - A Touch of Spice

Saturday, August 9, 2008 at 5:30 pm

We are pleased to present an elegant evening of dining, bidding and fun. Join us for the silent auction, a chance to win the Golden Ticket Raffle, and a live auction of the fiber art quilts from the “Spice of Life” exhibit, pieces from the “It’s a Wrap” collection, Centerpiece Bottle Bags and other enticing items.

The Gala Dinner & Auction is APNQ's only fundraising event, so please bring your checkbook or credit card and plan to bid on some great art and other wonderful items. All proceeds from the event go to benefit APNQ's efforts to support regional quiltmaking. Because APNQ is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, you may be eligible for tax deductions on some of what you purchase or donate at the auction. You can have fun and do good at the same time!

Once again, we will have the popular Golden Ticket Raffle, where exactly 100 special raffle tickets will be on sale while the Silent Auction is in progress. The lucky winner of this raffle will be able to select and take home any single item from the entire array of Live Auction offerings before the bidding begins!

Please note:
Because you are supporting APNQ with your bids, the auctioned items may go for 1.5 to 5 times their Fair Market Value at auction. Anything you pay beyond FMV may be tax deductible; you should consult your tax adviser.

Purchasers of items at the auction will pay a 10% Services Fee™ in addition to the amount of their successful silent- or live-auction bids (except for Fund-An-Item pledges, which are pure contributions, and Golden Ticket Raffle purchases). This fee underwrites the costs of conducting the auction, so that the entire amount of the final, successful bid on the auctioned item goes directly to APNQ.
