Many of you have enjoyed creating and hosting dinners, teas, picnics, museum tours with lunch, pool parties, brunches, barbecues, cooking classes, sailing expeditions and other events, as well as providing services like: computer help, tax help, massages, handyman services, and more for your fellow church members and their families. Last year was another success with 101 events, over 1,056 winning bids and over $40,000 contributed to our church. In the coming weeks (through March) we will be accepting your offers to host events, then we will print another fabulous bidding booklet (as well as have it online) and commence the auction on May 5 (Sunday).

Look for information on Dining for Dollar$ on the patio starting March 17 (Sunday) and in upcoming issues of the Window. Start planning now for the event(s) you want to offer. This year we have an electronic ­Event Host Form or email Robie Evans and she will send you the information and forms. Start turning in your event forms now, but no later than April 8th.

Bidding will take place for three consecutive Sundays, starting May 5, 2013.

If you have questions, suggestions, or are interested in helping with the auction, please contact Robie Evans at 619-398-4433 or robie@firstuusandiego.org.
