(Saturday, October 24 starting at 11:30 AM)
Yesterday three students rang my doorbell during the evening asking me to purchase a discount card, magazine subscription and a coupon book for local businesses. This reminded me of why we have the Lincoln Auction. It was many years ago that our students were selling Humanities T-Shirts, plastic designs for windows, wrapping paper and magazine subscriptions. Most parents hated having their children going door to door selling and ended up just purchasing the items themselves. A group of parents thought there was a better way to fund the unique things we do at Lincoln and the auction was born. In the beginning it was a small auction that eventually grew and grew to meet the constantly changing needs of the students and staff. It was always a group of parents that took on the auction and got people to perform the myriad of tasks involved. It takes a lot of people giving up their precious time to make this happen. If every parent helped just a little or a lot - a couple of hours a week or just a couple of days the tasks would be easier. We have to raise money –every school does - but the parents do the fund raising not the students which makes us unique. Please consider volunteering by clicking the Signup button above. It takes a community to make this happen. Finally, encourage your friends, neighbors, and relatives to attend the auction.
The money raised at the auction directly benefits all kids, your kids…we need your help
