Volunteers Needed for Chatard-A-Bration 2022! |
The Silent Auction is one of the highlights each year at Chatard-A-Bration. We are looking for volunteers to join the Silent Auction Committee to help secure donations from local businesses to include in the auction. Contact information of past silent auction donors (and maybe a few new ones!) will be provided for you to email to solicit items. No need to go door-to-door, all you need to do is send a few emails from the comfort of your own home and follow-up as needed.
Soliciting items not your thing? Join the Logistics Committee! Your job will be entering the fabulous donations into the auction bidding site. The Logistics Committee will start meeting at BCHS (during school hours) in mid to late January to enter the donations in our online form. If you have a creative mind and a way with words, this job is for you! Plus, you'll get a first look at the amazing auction items!
