Silent & Live Auction Fundraiser for Dale Mabry Elementary Welcome Friends, Parents, Teachers, Staff, Donors and Sponsors! It’s time to….. Rock and Roll ALL NIGHT! On behalf of the Mabry Elementary PTA, we welcome you to our 2017 Auction Gala: “Rock of Ages”! The money raised tonight will be used to support our beloved Mabry Elementary School, just as its staff supports our children in building the foundation that they need to continue to strive and grow. The Auction Gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year and would not have been possible without the amazing cooperation of our Auction committee and countless others who have contributed their time, ideas and generous donations. WE SO APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS NIGHT A SUCCESS! THANK YOU!!! AUCTION RULES 1) Upon entering the auction you will receive you bid number. Use only the bid number assigned to you for bidding on silent and live auction items. We recommend that if you are part of a couple, you only use a single bidder number and make sure the email address you want to use to receive notifications is attached to that bidder number. At the end of the night, if you’ve won items, you will receive an email notifying you that you won and you will have the option to pay by credit card, cash or check. 2) The Silent Auction opens at 6:00 and closes between 8:15 and 9:00 – we will have staggered close times for the various sections so make sure you are listening to the announcements of when sections will be closing. To place a bid, write your bid number with your bid amount on the bid sheet. The minimum bid and minimum raise for each item is written on the bid sheet. Placing a bid constitutes a legal contract to purchase that silent auction item at the price you stated if your bid is the winning bid. If you bid on 2 of the same item and you win both of them, you will be required to purchase both of them so please keep that in mind. 3) The Live Auction will take place after the silent auction, starting at 9:30. We have a professional auctioneer who will be using spotters to keep track of bidders. If a group is bidding on an item, please designate one person to place your combined bid; auction items will be awarded to one purchaser only. A bid acknowledged by the auctioneer is a legal contract to purchase the item. 4) All items must be paid for at the end of the evening. Your swiped credit card is encouraged to facilitate a faster check-out. 5) We encourage you to take your winning items with you the night of the event. However, committee members will be available Sunday February 26th at the McLoughlin Center at Christ the King church from 10-1 to distribute remaining items. 6) All sales are final – there will be no exchanges or refunds.

  • OVERVIEW of Who Is Big Cat Rescue?
    Big Cat Rescue in Tampa Florida Who Is Big Cat Rescue 1 Table Of Contents Chapter 2 - Who Is Big Cat Rescue Chapter 3 - Non-Profit Ratings Chapter 4 - Award Winning Sanctuary Chapter 5 - Cable Television Segments Chapter 6 - Celebrity Supporters Chapter 7 - Area Business Affiliations Chapter 8 - How Big Cat Rescue Started Chapter 9 - The History & Evolution of Big Cat Rescue Chapter 10 - Cat Links 1 2 Who Is Big Cat Rescue OVERVIEW of Who is Big Cat Rescue? Big Cat Rescue is the largest accredited sanctu- ary in the world dedicated entirely to abused and abandoned big cats. We are home to over 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts. Our dual mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care and educate the pub- lic about the plight of these majestic animals, both in captivity and in the wild, to end abuse and avoid extinction. The sanctuary began in 1992 when the Founder, Carole Baskin, and her then husband Don, mistakenly believing that bobcats made good pets, went looking to buy some kit- tens. They inadvertently ended up at a “fur farm” and bought all 56 kittens to keep them from being turned into fur coats. See How We Started. In the early years, influenced by breeders and pet owners, they believed that the cats made suitable pets and that breeding and placing the cats in homes was a way to “pre- serve the species.” Gradually they saw increasing evidence that not only was this not the case, but that it was leading to a consistent pattern of suffering and abuse.

  • Support the Big Cat Public Safety
    Support the Big Cat Public Safety Act H.R. 263/S. 1210 Sponsors: Representatives Mike Quigley (D-IL) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Susan Collins (R-ME), Tom Carper (D-DE), and Richard Burr (R-NC) WHAT THE BILL DOES The Big Cat Public Safety Act is a commonsense and urgently needed solution to the dangerous and cruel problems associated with private ownership of big cats and direct contact activities like cub petting. The wild animals used for petting and photo-taking encounters, and those imprisoned in basements or backyards as pets, not only suffer immensely, but also pose a serious risk to human safety. H.R. 263 amends the Captive Wildlife Safety Act to prohibit the private possession of lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, cougars, or any hybrid of these species. This prohibition is narrowly focused on pet big cats and exempts zoos, sanctuaries, and universities. Current owners are grandfathered in and are simply required to register their animals to ensure that first responders and animal control officers are aware of the presence of such animals in their communities. H.R. 263 also restricts direct contact between the public and big cats. OVERVIEW OF THE PROBLEM • It is estimated that thousands of big cats are currently kept in captivity around the United States. Exact numbers are a mystery—nobody knows exactly how many dangerous big cats are being kept in private hands, or where they are. • A small number of unscrupulous facilities offer cub petting or photo opportunities, which fuels a vicious cycle of breeding and dumping cubs and is the primary cause of the growing population of captive big cats in the US.
