Tickets and donations - please e mail Kim

We are looking for donations for our Silent Auction and Grand Prize Auction.

If you do not want steak then you have your choice of a BBQ chicken breast or veggie skewer. I will need to know your choice at least 5 days before the event.

We can not sell tickets at the door because we need to let the venue know how many are attending 4 days before the event. If you let me know in advance that you will be there and that you can not pick up tickets before hand, then I will put them aside for you and include you in our count.

Unfortunately your furry friends are not invited to this event. Sorry!

If you have any other questions, feel free to send me an email. Thanks! ~ Kim ~
