Auction Weekend 2012 - Delaware County Christian School

Auction Weekend 2012
Friday, May 11th & Saturday, May 12th
Delaware County Christian School welcomes you to the last auction event of its
15th Benefit Auction Year. DC held its first auction in 1989 and since that time this
Family Auction Weekend has become a very special tradition for our DC Family
and the community. This weekend has been made possible by the many people
who tirelessly volunteered their time, creativity and energy, and by all who agreed
to make a donation to DC. To each of you, a very special “thank you.”
Now, we give each of you attending this weekend a special opportunity to support
DC by bidding at the “Live Auction” as well as shopping at the Twice is Nice
Consignment sale, enjoying the game booths at the Children’s Fair and Silent
Auction and dining at the Auction Grille. Relax and have fun! Remember, it’s for
the school!
At DC, we believe in educating students who will serve God and impact the world
through biblical thought and action. The proceeds from this auction weekend will
be placed in our annual fund, The Fund for DC, which supports programs that
benefit all of our 765 students.
We invite you to browse, bid and buy! We have something for everyone…and
something for you!
Enjoy the weekend!

With Grateful Thanksgiving in this DC’s 15th Benefit Auction Year
This has been a busy year for our DC Community. Along with the plethora of activities for
students and parents at each division, we have held two “live” Auction events this year and
sponsored an Online Auction experience to bring the DC community together in support of our
school and our 765 students! October 15, 2011 was a special evening for the DC community as
we hosted our first “Gala Auction” at The Lamb in Springfield, Pennsylvania. With more than
120 folks on hand -- representing multiple generations of the DC family from former students, to
former faculty and staff, to alumni parents, DC grandparents, as well as current parents and DC
faculty & staff -- the evening was filled with dining and bidding and just plain fun in support of
our wonderful school ! At the close of the evening, not only were old friends reunited and new
friendships formed, but a total of $55,000 was raised in support of our school! Throughout this
school year during several months we have also hosted an Online Auction which has met with
positive response and provides additional support through the benefits of bidding from your own
home on a variety of items.
Today, May 12, 2012, we come together as a school family of all generations and ages to once
again celebrate our friendships and the commitment we all share to Christ-centered education –
a true legacy from generation to generation! This day’s (and weekend’s) events truly do provide
activities and fun for all – complete with the Live Auction, “Twice is Nice” Consignment Shop,
Children’s Fair (and Children’s Silent Auction) , and the Auction Grille!
These events would never be possible without the generous donations from both individuals
and businesses. The Auction Steering Committee would like to thank so many for the gifts of
time, talents and treasures that have been given so generously in recent months. From parents,
to students, to faculty and staff to so many local businesses and individuals we extend our
heartfelt gratitude for your support and generosity!
We would like to thank our auctioneers this year – Rob Borgstrom and Ken Guilbert (May 12,
2012) and Tony Proto and Russ Nixon (October 15, 2011) – for providing their expertise along
with signature wit, humor, and pure entertainment for bidding!
In particular let us thank the many area businesses, professionals, restaurants and individuals
that have made amazing donations to make our 15th Benefit Auction Year! Please keep them in
mind when you shop and dine. These items continue to be the heartbeat of an Auction!
