Friends of the University District Food Bank!

The University District Food Bank presents its annual Benefit Auction Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015 St. Demetrios Hall

www.udistrictfoodbank.org Welcome Friends of the University District Food Bank! Thank you for joining us for our annual “Take a Bite out of Hunger” Benefit Auction! I’m proud to welcome you on behalf of our board of directors, staff and most importantly, our customers. This is our 20th annual Auction, which continues to serve as the primary stream of funding for our daily operations. So please give generously. We are grateful for our sponsors, whose donations help to cover the event costs. Please thank them for their generosity with your business. The University District Food Bank continues to be a vital lifeline to those in our community who need assistance. This year, the Food Bank will provide over 2.3 million pounds of food to over 5,200 families in need. During the last five years our home delivery program allowed us to expand outside of our walls and reach people where they live. In addition, our Packs For Kids program now reaches eight schools. Through this offering we aim to help children on school lunch programs have reliable and nutritious food over the weekends. As many of you know, construction has begun for the new Food Bank location on Roosevelt Avenue NE. We plan to move into that wonderful new building next June but our Capital Campaign team is still working to raise all of the funds necessary to finish construction. Every dollar you contribute during tonight’s Fund-A-Need will result in matching funds targeted towards the Capital Campaign. You will hear more details during the Live Auction. Thanks to the support in our community, the University District Food Bank remains a steadfast pillar of support in Seattle. That community support comes to us through food donations, money and volunteer time. Every month, our volunteers contribute more than 1,700 hours of service helping to stock our shelves, pack and unpack donations, assist families in making nutritious selections, and offer a kind word to everyone who comes through our door. Our local grocery stores, community food drives and farmers at the University District Farmers Market contribute food each week to keep our shelves stocked. We receive financial support from local churches, schools, businesses, foundations and you. We are all in this together, working to keep all our neighbors nourished. Special thanks to Paul Yunker, Paula Skarr and the Auction Committee for their hard work preparing for the auction, and especially to you—our guests for helping to make tonight’s event a success. Enjoy your evening and THANK YOU for your continued support of our food bank. Andy Dutton Board President University District Food Bank Auction 2015 |1 thank You to Our Sponsors! PRESENTING STAR

Auction Rules Silent Auction At registration you will receive a bid number. No valid bids are possible without this number. You must use only your own number. The Silent Auc- tion begins at 5:30 p.m. when doors open. All items have an adjacent bid number space opposite the desired bid amount. Each new bid must equal or exceed the required increment as shown on the bid sheet. If an entry is not legible, the next legible entry will be used. If you want to secure the purchase of an item, write your bid number in the box labeled “Guaranteed Purchase” and it’s yours. Once a Guaranteed Bid has been entered, bidding on that item is finished. Portions of the Silent Auction will close at three separate times during the evening. The closing times will be announced. The bidding on that section ceases when the closing is announced. The closing bid, circled by an auction official, constitutes the winning bid. In the event of a dispute, the Auction Coordinator shall act as the final authority.

University District Food Bank Auction 2015 | 5 Live Auction Bidding will commence when the Auctioneer begins at approximately 7:30 p.m. To enter a bid, signal either the auctioneer or one of the spotters located around the room by raising your bid number. Use only the bid number assigned to you. Please hold your bid number so the Auctioneer can easily see it. The Auctioneer will acknowledge successful bidders at the conclusion of each Live Item. Acceptance of this acknowledgement constitutes a legal contract to buy. You will then sign an acknowledgement which will be brought to your table. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the winning bid or to re-offer the item in dispute. Dessert Dash The Dessert Dash is a group activity. At each table there are Dessert Dash bid sheets. When the auctioneer gives the signal, table guests will have an opportunity to place their bids individually. The Dessert bid sheets will be collected and tabulated by the assigned table captain for each table. The table captain then writes the total of all his/her individual table bid sheets on the front of the envelope. A runner will collect each table’s envelope and order them from the highest to lowest. The Auctioneer will announce the order and a person from each table will be able to “dash” and choose their dessert. In case of ties, the first one to the table wins. Best of Live Raffle Rules 1.
