Our Fundraiser & Silent Auction
Thank you all so much for making our Fundraiser on Nomber 25th, 2017 such a rip-roaring success!
We were all very pleasantly amazed that so many people came to the first part of the evening to view the auction items and make their bids. [Pictured at left]
Many volunteers brought goodies to eat that were fabulous and very popular. It's remarkable to think that we utilized a kitchen and ran a bar, while simultaneously running a silent auction, and with live music presented by Kierah Raymond, Michael Averill, and uilleann piper Chris from Co. Tyrone - and that was just the start of the evening!
The door staff coped with a constant stream of attendees, and when we moved the whole operation upstairs there was another bar, and the other half of the silent auction, with brilliant concert performances by the Gabriel Dubreuil Trio, Stephen Fearing, Marin Patenaude, and the Honky Tonk Dilettantes.
So the event was an artistic triumph, a catering miracle, and a very successful fundraiser. Between the auction proceeds, the event tickets, cash donations, the 50/50 draw take and the bar sales, we made and surpassed our goal,
We would like to thank as well all of the people, companies and organizations who donated items for us to auction off. It was an impressive assemblage of goods, to be sure. Almost everything went out the door, carried by a happy customer. Scroll down to see a list of them all. [If your name was missed, our apologies!]
Most importantly, we couldn't have pulled this off without YOU. It was an incredible event, and a very successful one! Thank you, one and all, from the bottom of our hearts. Not only has this restored The Rogue's finances to an unprecedented level of stability, it has also reinforced the genuine love the community has for The Rogue - and you, our volunteers, supporters and members, have made it so.
