Dear fellow Hanoverians:
It has been a little while since I have run a charity auction right
here “Around Town on the Web,” so there is probably no better time
to jump back in the mix…just in time for the holidays!
This is a time of year that so many of us look forward to spending
with family and friends. For one reason or another however, 40
students at the Cardinal Cushing Centers here in Hanover will not be
able to go home. So, fundraising is in full swing to throw them a
Christmas party with pizza, ice cream, music, Santa, and a big bag of
presents for each student. Thanks to private donations, this party has
happened for the last nine years and will happen again this Friday,
December 21st!
This year, there are a couple of Celtics tickets up for auction right
here on “Around Town on the Web” – with the proceeds all going
toward the Cardinal Cushing Centers party.
Two tickets are available for the following game and seats:
Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls (Deng, Boozer and Noah come to town…maybe
D Rose will be back!)
February 13, 2013
Section 8/Row 14
Seats 14 and 15
The 2 seats have total face value of $160. For those who are
relatively new to “Around Town on the Web”, here’s how it works.
Bidding will begin at $100 at 11:00 a.m. on *Tuesday, December 18th
*and will be accomplished simply by sending an e-mail to
cathyhb@atotw.com
. Once you enter a bid, you will be added to the distribution list
that will keep you updated on the latest bid (as best as humanly
possible!). Bids will be accepted until exactly 11:00 a.m. on
*Wednesday, December 19th.* If two bids for the same amount are
received, the earlier bid will take precedence. So, it is to your
advantage to bid your best price early. Bids /received/ by me after
11:00 a.m. (computer clock time) on *Wednesday* will not be
considered. So don’t wait until it is too late!
Gift someone special with some Celtics tickets and gift the students
at the Cardinal Cushing Centers at the same time. If you are the
winning bidder, your tickets will be delivered to you before
Christmas. Mark your calendar and send your bids to me at
cathyhb@atotw.com
beginning *Tuesday *(tomorrow as I write this) at 11:00 a.m. Bid
early, bid often!
If this opportunity touches your heart but you are not a Celtics fan,
you are also invited to send a donation made payable to the Cardinal
Cushing Centers (c/o Luke Dillon, 40 Maplewood Drive, Hanover). Please
also contact Luke with any fundraiser questions, 617-699-2244 (cell)
or ldillon@liam.org
.
