Thursday, February 10, 2011

Valentine's Day will be special for loved ones and friends of SILVAR members because members generously bid on many great items at this morning's Cupertino/Sunnyvale District tour meeting's annual Valentine's Day Charity Auction. The event raised $1,100 for charity.

Kudos to Valentine's Day Charity Auction Chair Carolyn Miller for the festive decorations and organization; to Cupertino/Sunnyvale District Affiliate Chair Richard Miller for assisting with the organization and collection of items; to Mark Burns for serving as the ever-enthusiastic auctioneer; to Kyle Chuang for helping collect the money; to members who donated auction items, especially the District's affiliates, who were very generous with their donations; and to all members for enthusiastically taking part in bidding and purchasing the items. Auction items ranged from special bottles of wine, beautiful orchids, spa treatments, gift certificates to restaurants, jewelry, chocolates, pillow pets and other fun items for children, a portable bar-b-que grill to special attire for the beach.

A fun time was had by all. The District will make many less fortunate individuals and families in the communities it serves happy, since proceeds for the annual event will go to charity projects undertaken by the District. The Cupertino/Sunnyvale District would like to thank everyone for their generous support of this annual event.

"Today's Valentine's Day Charity Auction was a huge success. Thanks to all the participation and bidding we had a great time," said Miller. "As chair of this event, I would like to thank our wonderful affiliates who selected and donated many of the gifts that were auctioned off, as well as the 'shoppers' who came, selected, and bought the gift items. The goal of the meeting was to have a great time while earning money to support the District's community outreach and charitable causes. Thank you to all who were present. Your participation was greatly appreciated."
