2011 Spring Auction
March 12th GWRLT thanks all who contributed to the success of Great Works Regional Land Trust's 2010 Spring Auction. Conservation does matter. The bidding was lively, the conversations congenial, the food delicious. The accounting is not yet complete, but it is looking that $16,000 was raised for GWRLT, just shy of the totals for 2008 and 2009. Pretty good! |
We thank:The 120 or so individuals and businesses who donated goods and services to the auction. See the Auction List.Our sponsors, whose donations fund the expense of the auction so that all the bids from auction night go directly to GWRLT. Kennebunk Savings, Minuteman Press, Civil Consultants, Marshwood Family Care, Pepperland Cafe.As always we are grateful to our generous and accomodating hosts, Spring Hill Restaurant and Banquet Center.GWRLT Volunteers. It is volunteers who enable Great Works to do its work, and it takes a lot of volunteer hours to put this auction together year after year. The Auction Committee, chaired by the indefatigable Pat Robinson, begins work in November, soliciting the auction donations. Committee members are Nancy Geneseo (who is the one to thank for the smooth operation of the Silent Auction and checkout!), Galen Mott, Susan Berman, Jane Adams, Sandy Agrafiotis, Susie Burke, Sandy Agrafiotis and Wendy Pirsig. The weekend of the auction requires a lot of hands (and heads) and we couldn't do without the help of Jane Adams, Jane Ahlfeld, Cindy Bean, Bobbi Beavers, Floyd Beavers, Len Carroll (for taking pictures), Karen Eger, Cheryl Hoffman, Teddy Hoffman, Sally Hunter, Noah Landis, Scott Landis, Nina Maurer, Angela Martin, Galen Mott, Marion Muller, George Muller, Wendy Pirsig, Joan Reilly, Paul Reilly, Kate Reynolds, Kathy Sweet, Bill Thomas, Moira Wright, Ciara Wright, Gary Wetzel and Nancy Wetzel. We don't want to forget to thank our fabulous auctioneer Howard Koeppel. And last, but certainly not least, thank you to those of you who attended the auction and bid enthusiastically and generously!
Thank you, one and all, for a successful auction, both fun and profitable.
