17th ANNUAL WORLD-FAMOUS
SPAGHETTI DINNER & AUCTION
Saturday, March 16, 2013
doors open - 4:00 pm
The 3rd Saturday of March each year, our next Dinner and Auction will be on Saturday, March 15, 2014.
Each year, we receive incredible support for our Auction from a large number of individuals and businesses that support the charitable projects and good works of the Foundation. Local and area businesses and individuals have supported the Auction magnificently in the past by donating time, talent and treasured items for the Live Auction, the Silent Auction and the Raffle and Door prizes, and now, eBay too. Last year was no exception. THANKS are not enough to show our heart-felt appreciation to those who donated items, the 300+ in attendance and the more than 60 volunteers who keep this event successful year after year.
Over the years, our Spaghetti Dinner & Auction has been a significant and consistent source of funds, which have allowed us to improve and enhance the quality of life for residents of Vittoria and the surrounding district. The annual Spaghetti Dinner and Auction is the major fundraising activity of The Vittoria & District Foundation.

TICKETS
ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE DINNER & AUCTION.
The tickets
for the 2013 Auction will be handled by distributors as in the past, with only
minor changes. Please remember that your ticket not only gains you access to
the event, but also provides us with your necessary Auction Bidder Registration
number.
Since some tickets were being sold and stubs returned with very little of the necessary information, it was decided that each previous ticket seller will receive their list accompanied by information sheets for each patron on their list. The distributor will be given a specific time period (usually 2 weeks) to contact the names on their list, fill in the information, collect $20 per ticket and return information sheets and money to those in charge of ticket sales. At that time, tickets will be issued with appropriate names on them.
At the end of the selling period, any tickets not sold will be offered to people on the waiting list. This selling period is February 7-28, 2013. If you have not been contacted by your ticket distributor before the deadline, please make sure you contact him or her if you want tickets.
People on the waiting list are contacted on a first-come, first-served basis as tickets become available. To get your name added to the waiting list, please contact Ginger Stanley (plantationbb@kwic.com) or Joan Norman (blinelineacres@bell.net).
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!
