EAI RAFFLE
Call for Raffle
Items for
the
"6th
Annual Afternoon Gala
and Art Auction"
Sunday
Sept. 14th 2-6 pm
Dear
Members,
We
are gathering
raffle/auction items for
our yearly Gala event,
September 14th. EAI
relies heavily on this
one event for funds to
make all aspects of the
Institute grow and
function. The raffle
items cost $5 a ticket.
In addition, to the
raffle, a Call for Art
will soon follow for the
auction segment - which
will be part silent and
live for paintings, as
well as bigger ticket
items that are being
donated. The beauty of
participating is you
need not be present to
win. Some of these
items are localized and
it would mean a visit
for you to NM....but
some are items that can
be shipped to you, or a
service you can take
advantage of anywhere.
A
few samples of what we
have so far for raffle
items are: gift
certificates for
encaustic materials,
one-year EAI
membership, jewelry,
encaustic books, one-day
workshops with local
members. The other
items we have are gift
certificates for NM
local things such as
dining, spa certificate,
B & B weekend in
Taos, etc.
In
years past we have had
members donate items
such as a hand-inlaid
knife, a week's stay in
Mexico at a time-share,
restaurant certificates,
un-used coffee maker,
un-used dart board and
darts, etc. Use your
imagination - you can
donate your services, or
something of value that
you think would be
interesting to EAI
members and their
friends and families.
If you have a
certificate laying
around you won't be
using or a gift you have
never used and don't
know what to do with -
consider it! Maybe you
have a time-share that
you can't get to this
year, and would like a
tax write-off for it!!
We would like to collect
all raffle items by
August 1st, in order to
promote the Gala.
I
appreciate you
considering anything you
might want to donate.
All donations are tax
deductible. Any
questions or donation
ideas, please contact me
at: Mehrens@eainm.com
Please
let us know soon.
Sincerely,
Douglas
