Important Details


Following are some details of the auction evening that each of you will want to know…

Family donations

We do encourage families to make a donation to the silent auction. By adding a donation to this event you are contributing a great deal. Thank you to those of you who have already turned in your donation!

What type of things do other families donate? Business services, personal talents, gift baskets, new store bought items and gift certificates.

Some ideas for a basket are: crafts, spa, snacks, gourmet foods, baby, movie night, ice cream social, health, spice, cooking, car wash, fishing, for pets only, for men only, for ladies only, books, beach, gardener, sports lover, BBQ, picnic, holiday, special occasion, etc.

Is there a dollar amount we should be shooting for? No. All we ask is that the donated items are new.

What is the deadline for turning my donation in? The deadline for items to be turned in to the office is Thursday the 24th. That is this week! Please don’t forget to fill out your donation form and turn it in along with your donation. (There are more forms in the school office if you need one.)

We will be turning in the information for the evening program book to the printers at 9am on Friday the 25th. You will want to have your donation included in the program so we will need to have your item and donation form by the 24th.

Should we invite other family members and friends to attend, or is this just for Covenant families? Invite your family and friends. Everyone is welcome!

RSVP/Registration

We suggest you RSVP on or before Monday, February 28.

Please call the school office to have your name and contact info added to the registration list OR if you received and evite, RSVP to that. We need to get a good count of how many people are coming so we know how much food to have there. By having your name added to the registration list, this allows us to put registration packets together before the auction and have it ready for you when you check in at the event. This makes the check in process much easier and smoother for us and for you.

We will have extra packets on hand for the people who you invite at the last minute. If there is someone who isn’t able to RSVP before that evening you can still bring them.

We accept payment by cash, personal checks, and PayPal.

  1. My idea is a family game night basket. It could include a fun game and maybe some snacks and drinks to enjoy while playing.

  2. I think a basket for car care would be fun. Maybe a gift card for a car wash, some interior wipes, a sunglasses holder, an air freshener, a travel mug, a little sack for trash, things like that. :)
