Your Help Is Needed

The 17th Annual SESAT/ESA Craft Fair & Silent Auction will be held on Saturday November 23 from 10 am to 3pm.   So far, it looks like it will be a great year – with vendors selling hand-crafted jewellery, ceramics, knitted goods, stained glass, soaps, and much more.  There are 95 tables rented.

We need volunteers to help at the school on Saturday the 23.  If you are able to help for a couple of hours (or longer!), please let us know.  We need your help for:

The food court:  between 8:00am and 2:00pm (we start serving coffee at 8:00am and lunch at 11:00am).

The silent auction:  between 2:00pm and 5:00pm (towards the end and just after the bidding closes)

Clean up:  3:00-5:00pm

We are also looking for volunteers on Friday, November 22 from 4:00 to 9:00pm.   We need help setting up the vendor tables, the silent auction and the bake sale.  A pizza dinner will be provided.

If you are able to help with any of these, please contact Marianne Brown at mdac.brown@sympatico.ca

We also need donations to the bake sale.  Baked goods can be dropped off at the school on Friday, November 22nd in the main office during the day, and from 4 to 9pm in the cafeteria.  Please label items so we know what it is –  i.e. chocolate cake, banana loaf.   We cannot guarantee that things are nut or gluten free – but a list of ingredients might be helpful! Please contact Donna Schwantes at donna_schwantes@rogers.com with any bake sale questions.

Students can earn volunteer hours for helping set up Friday night, greeting visitors, with clean up on Saturday or for their time baking goods to donate to the bake sale.   For more information about that, have your ESA student contact Christine Comi at christine.comi@rci.rogers.com.

Finally, we are still accepting donations to the silent auction. Tax receipts can be issued for items valued at $20 or more (except for gift certificates and services).The silent auction donation form, which is attached  must be taped to the item being donated .  Please contact Niko at niko.scharer@outlook.ca if you have any questions.

We need your help to make this year’s craft fair and silent auction the most successful ever!

Thank you.
