CLEARFIELD – The 2009 Auction Committee has started to collect donations and sponsorships for the upcoming 14th Annual Anne S. Thacik Charity Auction.
This year’s auction will be held on Thursday evening, October 15th, at the Knights of Columbus in Clearfield. Sponsored in part by Home Instead Senior Care, this is a wonderful event you will not want to miss.
The evening begins at 6 p.m. with various games of chance. A 50/50 cash raffle will be conducted. Last year’s winner took home over $1,300! Raffle tickets are available now and through auction night at a cost of one ticket for $5, or 3 tickets for $10.
At 7:30, the live auction will begin, with Bob E. Day as emcee, and local favorite, Pat Errigo, as auctioneer. Wine and a variety of desserts will be available throughout the evening for your enjoyment. More than 100 items are on the docket to be auctioned, including get-away trips, fine restaurant packages, autographed items, event tickets, theme baskets, handwork, and much more.
Admission tickets are $10 each, but special pricing is available for groups at 15 tickets for $100. Funds raised will help support programs and services of the Area Agency on Aging. Rikki Ross, Marketing & Events Coordinator for the Clearfield County Area Agency on Aging, Inc., described last year as the most successful auction to date, with proceeds in excess of $23,000. “That will be a tough goal to beat,” Ross commented. “Our hopes remain high that previous donors and sponsors will be as generous this year, and that we can count on as lively an audience as we have enjoyed in the past.”
