A Picnic Basket Silent Auction |
| Date: | 08-12-2010
|
| Time: | 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM |
| Location: | See Below |
| Tatnuck Park at Worcester is hosting a Picnic Basket Auction to benefit the Central MA Alzheimer’s Association’s Memory Walk. Please join us in creating unique, colorful, amusing, picnic baskets that we will put on display and auction on Thursday, August 12.
If you would like to participate, we will provide you with an empty picnic basket and ask that you fill it with fun and unique themes that you think will attract bids. Food, wine, alcohol, toys, gift cards, tools, tickets, you name it! Have fun and remember to think about what people might like to bid on.....also, don’t hesitate to ask friendly merchants, restaurants, etc. for help. They are more than willing to donate gift cards to charity events but don’t have time to do a basket themselves.
Please return your basket to Tatnuck Park between July 26th-July 30th with a tag that identifies your organization and the contents of your basket. We will then prepare to have it on display for the event August 12.
Come and see the baskets on display and watch the bidding go higher and higher on August 12 beginning at 5:30 PM. You’ll enjoy music and laughter, food and good company all while helping to support Memory Walk 2010!
