The 2008 Lawton Auction - Memories & Milestones -
will be a celebration of Lawton's 100 Year Anniversary.
The event will be held on Saturday, November 15th at Bell Harbor International Promenade.
We will have Auctioneer Larry Snyder on hand to help us celebrate.
As you may know, the annual auction is our major fundraiser of the year and the proceeds fund arts, enrichment, tutors, classroom supplies, PTA community events and much more.
Parents, we’ve only just started. Please, if you would like to contribute to the auction,
contact Nicole Ashford at ndashford@comcast.net
and help us make a difference this year.

Need ideas….we are looking for air miles, hotel points, vacation get-aways near and far, sports and theatre tickets, and much, much more. For more ideas, read on:

Ideas for Parent Donations

Party Sponsor: Consider sponsoring the food at one of the amazing auction parties we are putting together, any dollar amount welcome. If this idea interests you, contact us and we’ll work out the details. Or are you interested in hosting?

Almost Famous?: Do you know anyone famous or have connections with a local celebrity or well known politician?

Christmas Light Helper: What a wonderful gift…donate an afternoon to hang a family’s outdoor Christmas lights.

Rounds of Golf: Rounds of golf at local and destination clubs. Contact your club today!

Services: Gardening, coffee delivery, babysitting, handyman services, build a “clubhouse”, the possibilities are endless.

Coffee delivery: Do you find yourself out and about on weekend mornings? Why not just pick up a couple more lattes and deliver them to the winning bidder and make their morning? How about just one Saturday or Sunday a month?

Cookies or Dessert of the Month: Homemade cookies or desserts once a month for 3, 6 or 12 months, you decide! Or offer to bake desserts for a holiday or special event.

Ice Cream Social: Easy! All you need is a few tubs of ice cream, special sauces, sprinkles, whip cream and cherries, and voila – an unforgettable afternoon for a group of happy kids.

Private Swimming Lessons/Swim Party: Do you have a pool and love to swim? Donate the gift of time to help a child or adult learn to swim better. Or donate a swim party for a lucky boy or girl!

Airline miles/Airline tickets: Do you travel a ton and have a load of air miles? Or are you a pilot or flight attendant?

Condos, Cabins, Vacation Homes: How about the family cabin in the mountains, or your lakeside retreat? Or do you have a family member or close friend with a cool place that might consider donating a weekend or week to a great cause?

Hotel/Bed & Breakfast: Donate the gift of a weekend away! Does someone in your family own or work at a hotel or B&B?

Hotel Points: Are hotels your home away from home? Racking up hotel points?

Event Tickets: Sports teams, Symphony, Ballet, Theater, or Concert tickets?

Lessons/Camps: Music, language, art, whatever your special skill or those of someone you know.

Experiences: Rides in classic cars, scenic flights, sunset cruises, celebrity chef dinners, the list goes on and on!

And if you're interested in being involved in other ways, we'd love to have you on board. Projects range from big to small and everyone's contribution is appreciated. It takes a village to put on an auction so if you're dying to develop your inner party planner or venue decorator or item procurement, or help write the catalog,
email Kimball Mullins at kimball_mullins@yahoo.com....

Thanks from the Auction Co-Chairs,
Maria Alvord, Nicole Ashford, Natalie Dean, Melissa Denke and Kimball Mullins
