Truthfully, our house would likely resemble a forlorn junk store without the necessary and mitigating oversight of my wife. Vintage anything connotes images of nostalgia, a stroll back to the way things used to be. Better? Not necessarily, but we all love to peer into the annals of time and reflect, ponder, and contemplate. Vintage Veritas not only has an alliterative ring to it, but communicates something more meaningful. Veritas is a Latin word meaning “truth.” The pursuit of truth has been the fancy of poets, philosophers, and theologians. In John 18, where we read of the arrest of Jesus and His subsequent interrogation by the governor, Jesus boldly declares His purpose for coming into the world – to bear witness to the truth. Pilate asks, “What is truth?” While the text doesn’t indicate Pilate sought an answer from Jesus, he did then declare, “I find no guilt in this man.” As we reflect on the truth of Scripture, the embodiment of truth is indeed found in a person: our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a classical, Christian school, we seek to cultivate in our students timeless truths that transcend the social, political, and cultural boundaries of our age. On behalf of our Board, faculty, staff, and students, thank you for your participation in our annual benefit auction. Your support is directed specifically toward need-based financial aid. We all benefit by ensuring that Providence is financially accessible to a wide group of families, and financial aid maximizes this effort. Our fabulous auction team – Cory Marshall, Stacey Sykes, and Shannon Wilson, among others – have prepared a wonderful and entertaining evening. And we are excited again to welcome John Curley as our auctioneer. We appreciate all the folks who have contributed and made this evening possible. With gratitude, Ryan Evans, Headmaster 2 Trip Itinerary Feel free to come dressed in vintage travel garb, or your best semi-formal attire! 5:00 pm Registration Begins 5:00 - 7:20 pm Dunn Lumber’s “Voyage” Silent Auction SportClips’ “Excursion” Super Silent Auction “Wayfare” Class Project Silent Auction Quantivate Gift Card Grab Telegrams Printing Plus Wine Pull 7:00 pm Dinner & Entertainment The Inglewood Golf Club Jazz Music 7:30 - 9:30 pm Specialty Eye Care Group “Wanderlust” Live Event Greenridge Landscape Golden Ticket Bellevue Rare Coins Heads or Tails Cash Jackpot Guild Mortgage Dessert Dash Gift Card Frenzy Emmanuel Church Sponsored Fund-A-Student Lund Orthodontics Raffle Baskets Auctioneer: John Curley -- Radio Personality, Celebrity Auctioneer Master of Ceremonies: Joseph Backholm, Providence Parent 3 Evening Menu ~ Passed Appetizers ~ 1.

The prize will be a special Cash Jackpot Bid Card, with the monetary winnings preloaded on it. The winner will receive 50% of the amount paid into the game, up to $1,000, to bid with tonight! Just raise your bid card and go on a spending spree. Be sure to listen for details throughout the evening. The fun of playing is worth the $10 price, but the prize certainly sweetens the deal! Here’s how you play—just give your bidder number to the secondary students walking around with the game clipboard or pay to play on your mobile device. During the game you will place your hands on your head or your tail. The emcee will flip a coin. If it is heads, all with their hands on their heads will remain standing, and vice versa. This continues until the last one is standing. The prize is valued at $1,000! The cost to play is $10. Please note, no cash will be paid out, this is for auction scrip to be spent tonight on Live Auction items. Printing Plus “Wine Pull” Try your hand at this traditional carnival style game. For $15 you will be given the opportunity to select a numbered bag and “pull” the wine from it. Whichever bottle you pull, you keep. The values range from $5-$75 and everyone wins! In order to open it tonight there is a corkage fee, so we ask that you please take your wine home and enjoy it another evening. Emmanuel Church Sponsored “Fund-A-Student” During the Live Auction the emcee will announce that it is time for the Fund- A-Student portion of the evening. This is your chance to help Providence raise money for tuition for students that otherwise may not be able to attend the school. Fund-A-Student bid increments will be $5,000, $2,500, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, and $25. Thank you in advance for donating to our financial aid fund!
