Page 2 2011 Sportsman’s Dinner & Auction Dear Community Friends and Fellow Rotarians, Thank you for attending our 41st Annual Sportsman’s Dinner and Auction. Your support this evening will help ensure that Lakewood Rotary continues its history of making a positive impact on the community. Through your active participation this evening, your winning bids will turn into approximately $80,000 for various local charities, schools, and youth activities. Forty years ago, Lakewood Rotary started this event as a way to share their “wild game” and raise money for the Boys and Girls Club baseball. Tonight is the evolution of that humble start – so, please eat, drink, enjoy and raise your paddle to support Lakewood Rotary’s good work. On behalf of the Sportsman’s Dinner Committee – thank you for your support and please feel free to bid – bid – bid!

The next bidder must bid at one of the higher bid prices to be successful. Please write legibly and press hard as you are making three copies. Placing your name on the bid sheet constitutes a legal contract to buy that item. • If you want to assure that you will win that item, simply put your name on the Guaran- teed purchase line (if there is one). Not all items will have a guaranteed price. • You may bid at any time during the silent auction until that table is closed. There will be five silent auction tables. No bidding is allowed after each table’s closing time. If there are two people who want the same item when the table is closed, an oral bid-off will be conducted at that time. • Do not remove items from the tables. Retrieve your items when all business transactions are completed. • At closing, the silent auction “closers” will circle the top bid number and amount. You may check during the evening to see if you were the successful bidder by looking at the copy of the silent bid form, which will be left in its place after the table is closed. LIVE AUCTION • Preview of the live auction items begins at 5:30 p.m. and will continue until the live auction begins. • To bid during the live auction, hold up your bid number. Be sure that the auctioneer acknowledges your bid. There will be spotters among the crowd to help recognize bidders during the live portion of the auction. • The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid that is merely a fractional advance over the prior bid. • Top bidders must pay for their items at the conclusion of the auction before claiming the items or certificates. Cash, checks, MasterCard and Visa are accepted. The auction cashiers will total all you have purchased, so you only pay once. BUCKET ITEMS • Bucket items are displayed in the same room as the silent auction tables. • Each bucket is for a specific item. • For a chance at winning that item, place as many tickets as you want into the buckets of the items you want. • Raffle tickets will be for sale all evening – 3 for $5, 15 for $20, and 80 for $100. • The drawing for the bucket items will take place during the live auction. Winning tickets will be posted for review. • You must provide your ticket stub to collect your prize at the bucket table. Page 6 2011 Sportsman’s Dinner & Auction AUCTION PROCEDURES GETTING YOUR WONDERFUL NEW THINGS HOME • You are responsible for taking the items you purchased home with you the night of the event. If for some reason you cannot do that, you may pick your items up on Sunday, April 10, from 9-11 a.m.
