Dear Friends & Supporters,

Dominican Village conscientiously seeks ways to provide for the special needs of our residents without passing on additional expense to them. With this in mind, we are now preparing for our 14^th annual Chinese Auction Extravaganza and we invite you to join us for this spectacular event on Friday, October 4^th from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. in the Helen Butler Hall.

I know it’s early to ask for donations of items to be used for the production of our beautiful baskets; however, it takes several months for a group of volunteers to assemble, wrap and document more than 100 baskets for auction.

In 2017 the auction netted a profit of $25,000. In 2018 we netted $35,000. Our goal for 2019 is to net a profit of $45,000 toward our capital improvement goals.

In addition to our usual display of more than 100 baskets on auction, we will have separate raffles for prizes including Flat Screen TV’s, lottery trees, designers’ handbags, Apple products, Walt Disney hopper passes and lots more.

If you are unable to attend the evening extravaganza, a public preview of all auction items will be held on the same day, Friday, October 4^th from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please bring self-addressed labels to attach to your raffle stubs. Winners need not be present.

Your donations are greatly appreciated! Please see the insert for items needed. Your donation items may be dropped off daily on or before Friday, September 13^th at Dominican Village, 565 Albany Avenue, Amityville NY, from 9:00a.m. to 7:00p.m.

Your contributions will help make this a successful event! Please contact Community Relations for more information at 631-842-6618 or e-mail emonem@dominicanvillage.org.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Gratefully,

Emily Monem
