Text “THEGEORGE” to 79230 to register and begin placing bids LETTER FROM OUR DIRECTORS GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME! We are glad you are here (or there as the case may be)! The After Dinner Affair looks a bit different this year but it is our hope by going virtual, we can help keep you safe and also reach an even broader audience! Our team has been working tirelessly for months to make tonight an unforgettable evening. This is the largest broadcasting event in the 53 year history of A.D. Players and it took an enormous amount of effort and support from so many to make it happen! THANK YOU for supporting us during this incredibly uncertain time. Thank you for buying tables and tickets and inviting your friends. Thank you for securing auction items, hosting watch parties and spreading the word. We are grateful for you and your tremendous support! We at A.D. Players have lost nearly one million dollars in projected revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tonight’s event is our last chance at recouping a portion of that loss before the end of our fiscal year on August 31st. With your help, we believe we can reach, and hopefully exceed, our $300,000 goal. Now get out your smartphones, tablets, laptops, TV’s, projectors and anything else you got! Register for the auction, get to bidding and sit back, relax and enjoy the best party of the year! WELCOME TO THE 3RD ANNUAL VIRTUAL AFTER DINNER AFFAIR!
