Volunteers for Youth “Chair-ity” Auction
Bring out your Mardi Gras beads and celebrate “Fat Tuesday” at the 2nd annual Volunteers for Youth “Chair-ity” Auction slated for Friday, February 20th at 6:30p at the Claremore Community Center. “This year’s event will be like the first “Chair-ity” Auction on steroids,” said Volunteers for Youth’s Executive Director, Mendy Stone. “If you attended and had fun last June, you will definitely want to put the February 20th date on your calendar and purchase your tickets. If you missed it, definitely make plans to attend this one!” she added.
The Mardi-Gras themed event will feature a live auction of creatively re-purposed and re-designed furnishings (primarily chairs) as well as a silent auction where “recycled” art and home décor items will go home with the high bidders. Cajun cuisine, jazz music, and a raucous EXTREME musical chairs event will round out the evening. For a $50 buy-in, EXTREME musical chairs contestants can win elimination prizes escalating to a weekend at the Hard Rock Tulsa.
Donations of $20 will enter you in a drawing for two round-trip airfare tickets to anywhere Southwest Airlines flies in the continental U.S., an $800 value. The winner will be drawn at the event and entries will be taken up until the time of the drawing.
Volunteers for Youth is calling on all Pinterest enthusiasts, DIY fans, and the generally creative types to participate. Donations of “chair” entries as well as items for the silent auction are still being accepted by contacting the Volunteers for Youth office at 918-343-2530.
