Vittoria & District Foundation

The 3rd Saturday of March each year, our next Dinner and Auction will be on Saturday, March 16, 2013.

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.

Anyone can contribute ... even you! Everyone can donate something. Each year so far we have been blessed to receive many unique and interesting items, often one-of-a-kind, which have helped us raise money for all of the worthy community projects we have undertaken or supported. We are always delighted to receive any of the following items:
Antiques	Art	Carvings	Clothing (new only, please)	Collectibles
Food	Gift Certificates	Handicrafts	Historical Memorabilia	Household items
Metalworks	Services	Special Interest	Sports	Woodcrafts
	Miscellaneous		other items of interest
All items should be new (except antiques, collectibles, and historic memorabilia).
Handcrafted items are always popular.
Auction Contribution Letter and Details ---- Auction Contribution Form *NOTE: please send in the Contribution form or call in the data at least ten (10) days before the auction (ie. by March 7, 2012) so all items can be printed on our Auction List and programme.* List of Auction Items contributed for the 2011 auction.

The auction committee decides where in the Auction to place the donated articles (Live Auction, Silent Auction, Raffle or Door Prize or eBay).

If a tax receipt is requested, contributors of items sold by auction receive a receipt for the selling price. Contributors of items given as prizes in raffles or draws receive a tax receipt for the estimated retail value of their donations.

or you may download a contribution form and send it in to P.O. Box 45, Vittoria, ON N0E 1W0

(Only new, or newly home-crafted, or antique or collectible items, or services, please)

All contributions committed in time are published on posters prior to the event, and in the program the evening of the event.

TICKETS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE DINNER & AUCTION.
The tickets for the 2012 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 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 two week period, any tickets not sold will be offered to people on the waiting list. This two-week period is January 15-31, 2012. 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 one or more names added to the waiting list, please contact Ginger Stanley (plantationbb@kwic.com) or Joan Norman (blinelineacres@bell.net).

On Saturday, March 21, 2009, The Vittoria & District Foundation held their 13th Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Fundraising Auction at the Vittoria & District Community Centre.

The Trustees and Executive wish to thank our exceptional and entertaining Auctioneers, Lyle Smith, Tom Waldick, and Warren Burger.

Also, we thank our 150+ contributors who cheerfully and generously donated 300+ items to be auctioned or raffled.

We thank and congratulate all of the 330 bidders who attended and enthusiastically participated in the bidding.

Last, but certainly not least, we sincerely thank all of our 60+ volunteer workers for their part in helping make this Auction another resounding success.

Want to join in the fun, from behind the scenes? We'd love to welcome you to our team. For more information, please contact Roger Cruickshank at godfather@kwic.com
