WELCOME TO NVHC’S 9TH ANNUAL SILENT AND LIVE AUCTION

Dear Friends,

This year’s auction theme, “A Time to Plant, Growing the Fruits of Community,” beautifully captures who we are at NVHC, a community of givers. We give of our time. We give of our friendship. We give of our hearts. We give of our prayers. We give of our hard earned money. We give of our belief in our Jewish community and a better world today and in the future. What we receive in return for all this giving is a deep sense of purpose and lives more meaningfully lived.

The auction is a community celebration, a party, and an important fundraiser for NVHC operations. Please be generous and absolutely have a wonderful time!

I want to thank the auction committee for its hard work and dedication. I also thank everyone who has donated, purchased advertising, underwritten the expenses of the auction, or purchased a raffle ticket. All of these are integral to the success of the auction and the well-being of our community.

Sincerely,

David Selden President, NVHC Board of Trustees

Creating and executing a Silent and Live Auction requires energy, commitment, time, talent, creativity, and passion. We have been blessed to work with these incredible volunteers who each worked amazingly hard to make the NVHC 9th annual Silent and Live Auction a great success. Although there are always contributors who do more or less, every action by these marvelous volunteers was significant to create a memorable evening growing the fruits of community, and we needed every one of you. On a personal note, for us, the best part of being a team member with this group was getting to know you, creating new friendships, bonds and learning so much about our remarkable community. Thank you so much for being a part of this adventure and responding to the need to work together to achieve this special event.

ORGANIC GIVING

Like a garden, building a strong community requires careful planning, enriching, and nurturing. During the live auction, you will have an opportunity to help grow and build NVHC’s programs and community through our “Organic Giving” initiative.

Here’s how it will work. Rob Jolles, our auctioneer, will announce various giving levels. When you hear the amount that’s right for you, just raise your catalog with your bidder number showing. A live auction volunteer will record your donation. At the end of the evening, you will check out, and your donation will be on your donor receipt.

It’s simple. It’s 100% tax deductible. And most importantly, your contribution will help NVHC sustain and expand all the programs that make our community such a rich, warm environment for our growing Jewish lives. Thank you.
