WELCOME TO THE EIGHTH ANNUAL AUCTION FOR NORTH BEACH ELEMENTARY Thank you for joining us for an evening Celebrating Superheroes! Tonight, our community of parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, and friends come together to support our school and raise tomorrow’s superheroes. Our children thrive because they are surrounded by people who believe in them and value them as individuals and members of our school community. Your generosity tonight will help every child grow academically and personally – so please bid early, often, and generously! Our North Beach PTA provides many opportunities for our children that aren’t available at every school: • Music Program • Tutors • Counseling • Technology • Playground Equipment • Leveled Libraries in Classrooms • Author Visits • Teacher Mini-Grants • And so much more — all provided by the PTA! These programs – which inspire our children today – help our children explore who they are right now and think about who they want to become tomorrow. We especially thank our North Beach teachers and staff tonight. These amazing superheroes give our children an incredible educational experience every day, using their superpowers to perform an astounding number of feats as they join us in the mission of raising tomorrow’s superheroes. Please enjoy this evening. Laugh with friends, seek out spectacular treasures in the silent auction, and join in the excitement of live bidding. When we come together as a community, anything is possible! 1 From our Principal Dear North Beach Parents and Community, Thank you in advance for coming together this evening to support and celebrate the current and future superheroes who comprise this incredible community. Over the years, efforts from the auction have provided our staff and students with what they need to maintain an excellent teaching and learning environment. Proceeds from the auction have funded crucial support to the school including our school counselor, tutoring, technology, curricular materials, library books, classroom supplies, and many other critical items. Our school knows no limits when we come together to support our building. Just by being here, you are saying, “We support North Beach” … and all while having a great time! When I am asked why I wanted to be the principal at North Beach, it is easy for me to answer: the amazing teachers, the wonderful children who attend the school, and the incredibly supportive community that comes together to provide the best experience possible for the staff and students. Please know that our success could not be possible without you and all the stellar volunteers for this event. I hope you have fun tonight and engage in the bidding to raise funds that will enhance the growth of our learning community, and ultimately, your child’s education. Thank you to everyone who has contributed — raise a glass and your paddle for North Beach! Sincerely, Kristine McLane Principal 2 THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!

With each raffle ticket, you also receive a superhero wristband to wear throughout the evening. Our auctioneer will draw the winning ticket right before the live auction begins. The ticket holder, who must be present to win, may select a prize from the live auction. Three packages are excluded from the Golden Ticket Raffle: Go for the Gold, Holland America Cruise, Three Nights at the Ho’olio House in Maui. Community Events Wall 5:30-7:30 p.m. A not-to-be-missed community event awaits you! There is no bidding on these outrageously fun-filled events offered for adults, children, or both, donated by our teachers and others from our community. Simply sign up wherever there is an open slot and for a fixed price, the experience is yours. Be sure to include your email address with your sign-up so that the event lead can contact you with details. Don’t dilly-dally, because spots for these coveted events fill up fast! Silent Auctions 5:30-7:00 (silent #1-red tables) 5:30-7:15 (silent #2-blue tables) Again this year we will have two silent auctions. While mingling with others from the community, you will be able to peruse the silent auction tables and place your bids on the accompanying bid sheets. Watch your bids throughout the evening and raise them as desired until each silent auction closes. You can also guarantee that you’ll win a particular item by writing your bid number next to the “Guaranteed Bid” price (generally 150 percent of the value reported by donor). When each silent auction closes, a member of the auction committee or a trained volunteer will circle the winning bid number on each bid sheet in that section. Blue Line Bidding 5:30-7:00 (silent #1-red tables) 5:30-7:15 (silent #2-blue tables) Every silent auction bid sheet includes a Blue Line. If you place your bid on the Blue Line, you are automatically entered to win a $250 gift certificate to El Gaucho – even if you don’t win the item you are bidding on. The drawing will take place when the silent auction closes. Winner will be announced during the live auction. 5 Buy-It-Now Table 5:30-7:30 p.m. while items last Items on the “Buy-It-Now” table are available for immediate purchase. Simply write down your bid number and the item is yours! Grab-N-Go Boards 5:30-7:30 p.m. while items last Gift cards hanging on the Grab-N-Go boards are available for purchase at their retail value. It’s money you’d likely spend at these businesses, anyway … only by purchasing them tonight you are supporting North Beach’s staff and students! Simply arrive early, grab a certificate, write your bid number on the back, and drop it off in the Grab-N-Go box. At the end of the evening, during check out, the gift card will be yours. See page 13 for a listing of available gift cards, or just visit the Grab-N-Go wall concurrent to the silent auctions. Live Auction 7:45-9:30 p.m. Shortly after dinner has been served, the live auction with 19 highly valued items and packages will begin. Our auctioneer will describe each item available. To bid, simply raise your bid card toward the auctioneer, who will acknowledge and announce the highest bidder. Heads or Tails During Live Auction For $25 per participant, you can play Heads or Tails for a chance to win a $200 gift card for an Ethan Stowell Restaurant. During the live auction our auctioneer will ask all Heads and Tails participants to stand up and put their hands on their heads … or their tails. The auctioneer will then flip a coin and call out either heads or tails. Those with their hands on the “winning end” stay standing … while others who’ve been eliminated sit down. This game continues until the number of players standing whittles down to a handful. The last player standing who’s selected the right “end” for the coin toss wins. Gift Card Frenzy During Live Auction Midway through the live auction, our auctioneer will announce the gift cards available on a first-come, first-bid basis. Stay on top of your game, as we have an array of fabulous gift cards and the frenzy tends to go quickly. Restaurants and retailers include Poquitos, PCC, Shelter Lounge, American Girl Store, Stoneburner, Shell gas stations, Canlis Restaurant, and more. See page 14 for a listing of available gift cards during the Gift Card Frenzy. Gift cards may sell for more than face value during the live auction. 6 Dessert Dash During Live Auction Combine bids with the others at your table to claim one of the delicious desserts available at the auction. The table with the highest bid gets first chance at dashing to the dessert of your choice! You’ll need to be fast, though, to get your favorite dessert ... because the next winning table number will be called quickly. It’s called a DASH for a reason! 7 OTHER BIG WAYS TO SUPPORT NORTH BEACH Fine Art Portraits 5:30-7:30 p.m.

    Outdoor Sports Brands' Strategies for Building

    OUTDOOR SPORTS BRANDS’ STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING INSTAGRAM BRAND COMMUNITY BY JENNIFER SHIYUE ZHANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Advertising in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Adviser： Assistant Professor Leona Yi-Fan Su ABSTRACT Over 56% of the world’s population now live with social media (“Digital in 2019,” n.d.). Most direct-to-consumer brands are now using social media as a market tool to communicate with consumers, and the outdoor industry is no exception. Instagram, as the second most popular social networking medium globally, is a popular place to share photos and videos within the online brand community. Most outdoor brands maintain Instagram accounts as a part of their online brand community to interact with followers. This research examines 957 Instagram posts from three leading outdoor sports brands, namely, Arc’teryx, Patagonia, and Salomon via content analysis. The purpose of this study is to investigate post orientations and sports types across the three target brands, and gain insights into their Instagram practices by examining visual elements, textual attributes, and technical factors. Results suggest that outdoor brands with different followers took diverse strategies to build either a transactional or relationship Instagram brand community. Findings from this study offer important implications for researchers as well as practitioners in the domain of social media brand management. ii In loving memory of my father, Junqin. You are my hero. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without support of many people.

Today, Ryota is a Foster School ambassador promoting our school overseas, and little Sora is enjoying a better start because of the difference made by the Hintons’ generosity.
