WE NEED ITEMS FOR OUR Set For Summer Online Auction
We are hosting an online auction “Set for Summer” that will offer high-quality, locally sourced items will be displayed on our website and available for bidding between May 8 to 16, 2022.
Club members, we need items for this auction.
We are very excited to host our first annual "Set for Summer" online auction. Raising funds is an important part of what we do in order to serve our communities. This fundraiser will go to support both our international and community service projects. The goal is $2500 so let's see if we can do even more and support our polio goal and other international projects!
This auction will be live from May 16 to 27 so if we could have the details of each item to us by Friday, May 13 we would be most grateful! Please submit them to me at larson.tamarac@gmail.com with the following details:

short summary of item
who donated the item: logo and website if provided
retail amount of item
We are looking for items that are summer related:
Gift cards from local restaurants and merchants on Whyte Avenue
Anything BBQ related
Camping gear
Fishing gear
Beer and/or spirits
Summer activities: Fort Edmonton Park, the Zoo, or other
Recreational activities: biking, hiking, water sports or other
Park pass for Jasper/Banff/Kananakis
Golfing
And anything else summer fun related!
Please find a letter attached that you can personalize for this auction if you wish to solicit items. (this letter was emailed out to members on April 26th. That is where you will find the letter that you can use.)
In order to ensure we keep track of who has approached whom, please find a link to an Excel spreadsheet in our Google Drive - Set for Summer. Please indicate whom you have approached and any items you have been successful in collecting for this online auction.
We will once again be doing this through Givergy. We are looking for volunteers to support this fundraising initiative:
solicit auction items
work on Givergy site - set up and final reconciliation
A couple of things we have learned along the way!
If you are getting perishables (eg baked goods) donated, please ensure that they are fresh and not day olds/stale
If you are donating perishables yourself, please check the expiry date to ensure they are not moldy or out of date
In order to ensure that all items get delivered in a timely manner, we ask those who have solicited items and/or donated items willing to help with the delivery after the auction closes. If you are not able to do so, I am sure we can make arrangements to help.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
