Auction Booklet 2013 print.indd 1 3/15/13 1:09 PM Dear Tower Families and Friends,

On behalf of the Tower School Parents Association, we are so pleased to welcome you to the 2013 Totally Awesome Tower Auction. The Auction is a biennial event that supports Cultural Enrichment and Faculty Development programs. But, it is also a celebration of community: an opportunity for us to come together as parents, grandparents, faculty and alumni for an evening of entertainment and laughter, along with a little friendly competition.

Only with the support and efforts of our Auction Committee Chairs is this evening possible. These dedicated volunteers have worked diligently to bring a simple vision into a striking reality. For their enthusiasm and energy, we offer our sincerest appreciation. They have been an amazing team.

We would like to thank each of you, for your participation in the success of the Auction. Your contributions are greatly valued on every level. Thank you for giving us a reason to create this evening.

Let’s have some fun! From the moment you step in the door, there will be reminders of the �80s. Come see the sights, dance to the music and dust off your memory. Dive into the excitement of the Quickie Board Auction and, at the Live Auction, raise your paddle high. Feast on food, enjoy some drinks and make sure to have fun with friends. We are psyched to see you back in the �80s.

To a totally awesome night, we welcome you!

Quickie Boards Quickie items will be displayed on white boards. Give your bid number and the amount of your bid to the quickie board captains. Bid as often as you like. Bids must be raised by increments of at least twenty dollars unless otherwise noted. Please observe the designated starting bid on each item. The highest bidder at the time of closeout will be the winner of that item. Quickie board captains will be stationed at each quickie board. The quickie board captains and auctioneer reserve the right to settle any disputes which may arise over the winner of an item and the quickie board captains/auctioneer’s decision will be final.

Live Auction All bidding must be done with your assigned bidding number. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the successful bidder, and the auctioneer’s decision shall be final and binding.

All sales are final. Full payment of each purchase must be received the night of the auction by check, cash, MasterCard, VISA, American Express, or Discover (unless otherwise noted) before the items are taken. If one person bids for a group (several people willing to share an item), that person is required to pay the total amount of the bid. That person is then responsible for collecting money from the group. While some items are marked J, they do have a fair-market value that will be listed on your auction bid payment receipt.

Q22 Golf with the Head of School Before you head out to the links with Mr. Philip, we probably do NOT advise that you watch Caddyshack.
