The Midale and Area Rec Board (M.O.R.E 2000) will be holding their 20th annual Fun-D-Raising Supper and Auctions on Saturday, April 12. Cocktails will start at 5:30 p.m., supper is at 6 p.m., and the auction will start around 6:30 p.m. There are three different auctions that take place during the evening.
There is a silent auction so people can bid on the smaller items that get donated, a live auction is used for the higher priced or hard to obtain items that are donated and then there is a Dutch auction, where you buy tickets for a chance to win a big prize or a trip voucher. The winner gets the choice of which prize they would like.
New this year, there will be a 50/50 draw with a guaranteed payout.
Tickets for the fundraiser are still only $15 each and will be available soon at local businesses as well as by calling Catrina to reserve tickets and or tables. Last year was sold out before the event and a lot of tables were reserved ahead of time.
This is the biggest fundraiser the rink does every year and it is done to keep both the hockey and curling rinks open and operational. Many upgrades have been done in the past year, with the most expensive one being replacing compressors, etc., to the ice plant. There was approximately $100,000 done just in that alone. This fundraiser raises approximately $90,000-$100,000 each year and is used to keep ice rentals as cheap as possible.
If you have anything you would like to donate to the auction, please contact Catrina Moldenhauer. Arrangements can be made to pick items up. This is a great way to get in some advertising and get your name or business name out there to the public.
