Welcome
Imagine Housing’s Dinner and Auction on April 20th is a special
chance for us to honor you and what you are making possible within
our Eastside community. You are giving lower income working
families, seniors, veterans and others the opportunity to have a stable
home, to learn, to grow, to contribute and to give back. We see the
transformational effect that affordable housing and support have on
people’s lives, thanks to you. And on this special night, we hope that
you too will see and feel the impact you have had.
By enabling us to offer high quality affordable housing, access to robust
Eastside resources, and powerful on-site support, your support:
•
Provides refuge for the single mother fleeing domestic violence;
•
Makes it possible for an aspiring engineer to finally go back to
school and get his degree;
•
Gives hope to the veteran who thought she had been forgotten;
•
Fosters the love of learning for the child who had struggled to
keep up in school;
•
Restores the freedom to dream for so many who couldn’t see
beyond a single day; and
•
Empowers those with passion to emerge as leaders.
Thanks to you, residents have had the ability to give back to their
communities by starting co-op child care, launching support groups,
joining Boards, advocating to elected officials, and sharing their
stories to encourage and inspire others. Your support, generosity and
leadership make these successes possible. You are changing lives.
Enjoy this well-deserved evening of celebration. We thank you.
Sincerely,
Ann LevineJudy Gowdy

Thank you Banfi Vintners!
The complimentary wines offered during tonight’s
Silent Auction, which also can be found in tonight’s
Wine Shop, were generously donated by
Banfi Vintners. Many thanks to Dan Coats &
Kathy Nelson with Banfi for once again supporting
Imagine Housing with this incredible donation!
Concha y Tora Xplorador Sauvignon Blanc
Bright greenish-yellow in color with aromas of citrus
fruit paired with fleeting herbal notes. On the palate
this Sauvignon Blanc is light and fresh with lemon,
grapefruit, and gooseberry flavors that are balanced by
a crisp acidity.
Concha y Tora Xplorador Carmenere
Intense red in color with violet hues. Ripe black
fruit aromas intertwine with notes of pepper, toast,
blackberry and vanilla. On the palate this wine is
medium-bodied and elegant with spicy black plum
flavors, a touch of cocoa, and a persistent finish.
Maschio Prosecco
Light straw yellow in color with a lively froth. Bouquet
of white peach and orange blossoms. Fruit forward,
with peach and almond flavors.
The Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio
available in the Wine Shop also was
donated by Banfi Vintners.
Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio
Pale yellow-straw in color. Fresh, fruit-forward
bouquet with notes of pear, banana, peach, anise,
and honey Rich and full-bodied, with a long finish.

40 YEARS OF HELPING
DEVELOPERS AND
INVESTORS SUCCEED
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Who says all habits are bad? Since we began supporting affordable
housing in 1969, our partners have enjoyed consistent success. And
since the tax credit program began in 1986, we’ve provided equity for more
than 1,300 projects in 46 states. A combination of quality partners – such
as Imagine Housing – and excellent execution have helped us establish
a long-term track record of funding high-quality, affordable housing
developments nationwide. To learn more about our proven partnership,
contact Kevin Kilbane, managing director of West Coast acquisitions,
at 216.509.1342. Because, like our current partners, we think you’ll find
success to be habit-forming.
A proud partner of Imagine Housing

Auction Protocol
Each guest will be given a “giving” (bid) number upon arrival.
This number is your only means of identification for bidding;
please keep it throughout the evening.
• A signature or verbal bid during the Auction constitutes a
legal contract to buy. All sales are final and there will be no
exchanges or refunds. In all cases of dispute, the decision of
Imagine Housing is final.
• Please pay attention to all conditions, restrictions, and
expiration dates on items and services. Except where noted by
the donor, services, tickets, certificate items, etc. must be used
within one year of the Auction and are subject to mutually
agreed upon times and dates.
• No refunds will be made for cancelled tickets and accommodations.
• Imagine Housing reserves the right to withdraw any item for
sale prior to the call for bids.
• Please write your “giving” number and name on the sheet
associated with each Silent Auction item you want to bid on.
If an entry is illegible, the next legible entry will be used.
• The amount listed on the top line of each bid sheet is the
minimum bid. Items may be bid up from that amount by
increments noted on each bid sheet. A bidder must meet
or exceed the minimum bid and must bid by the proper
increment to win that item.
• Except for “priceless” items, bidders may guarantee a
successful purchase if they are willing to pay the item’s
guaranteed bid price. To achieve this, enter your bid number
on the bottom line of the bid sheet, circle the guaranteed bid
price, and sign the sheet.
• Following the closing of a Silent Auction table, you may check
to determine if you are the successful bidder of an item.
However, please do not remove the item or any part of the bid
sheet at that time.
Imagine 2013
|
PAGE 27
Auction Protocol Continued
• If you are the successful bidder, please pick up your items after
the Live Auction. All items must be removed from The Westin
Bellevue at the close of the Auction.
• Payment must be made in full on the evening of the Auction;
cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa and American Express will be
accepted.
• Looking for shorter lines? This year we are continuing the
“express” check-in/check-out process. At check-in, you may
elect to have us swipe your credit card. At check-out, you
simply pick up your items and you’re good to go!
Warranties
Imagine Housing has attempted to catalog and describe each
Auction item correctly based on information provided by the
donor. However, all items are sold “as is, where is.” Imagine
Housing neither warrants nor represents, and in no case shall
be responsible for, the correctness, descriptions, genuineness,
authorship, provenance, or condition of any of the Auction
items. No statement contained in the catalog or made orally
at the Auction or elsewhere shall be deemed to be such a
representation or warranty.
Tax Deductibility
The amount of the purchase of an Auction item that is deductible
for federal income tax purposes is limited to the excess of the
purchase price of the Auction item over the fair market value of
the item. Where possible, Imagine Housing has asked donors to
provide a good faith estimate of the fair market value of each
Auction item. Unless otherwise noted in the catalog, no auction
item has been formally appraised in arriving at the estimate
of fair market value. Please consult your tax advisor with any
questions you may have regarding your ability to take a tax
deduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the
differences between
various Auctions?
LIVE AUCTION • This is what
most people think of when they
hear the word “auction.” The
auctioneer directs the Live
Auction during dinner and
guests raise their bid cards to
participate.
SILENT AUCTION • This is
similar to a Live Auction, but
without an auctioneer directing
the bidding. Each Silent Auction
table has bid sheets that
correspond to items on that
table. You enter your “giving”
(bidder) number on an item’s bid
sheet at the price you are willing
to pay. If someone outbids you,
you may bid again until the
closing time.
What is a guaranteed
bid?
You can guarantee a successful purchase if you are the first to
commit to the guaranteed bid price at the bottom of an item’s
bid sheet. Enter your bid number on the bottom line of the bid
sheet for that item, circle the guaranteed bid price and sign the
sheet.
Why aren’t all of my receipts in my envelope?
The closing of an Auction is a chaotic process. Volunteers do
everything they can to ensure that you leave with all of your
receipts. About a week after the event, we will mail you a receipt
for all of your evening’s purchases, along with your credit card
receipt if you elected to use express pay.

Dinner for Six at The Ruins
Always a crowd pleaser, this is a rare opportunity to enter the
mysterious, secretive and delightful world of The Ruins! Established
in 1993, The Ruins is a fabulous private dining club in downtown Seattle
to which you can only gain access if you are be a member or know
someone who is! The Ruins offers wonderful service, fine wines, and,
as Greg Atkinson of the Seattle Times wrote, “a veritable wonderland
of beautiful things, interesting characters, delectable food and a unique
ambiance spun directly from the imagination of Seattle caterer Joe
McDonnal.” You and five of your friends will enjoy a memorable evening
with this certificate that includes dinner, tax, gratuity and alcoholic or
other beverages up to a total of $750. Expires April 20, 2014.
Value:
$750

1 Magnum (1.5 L)
2010 Quilceda Creek
Cabernet Sauvignon
This year, Quilceda Creek has donated a magnum of their just released
2010 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon. For several years, Quilceda
Creek has been considered by many to be one of the top wineries
in the country, not just in Washington. In fact, Robert Parker’s Wine
Advocate rated the 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007 vintages of Quilceda
Creek’s Cabernet Sauvignon a perfect 100 points, while the 2004, 2006,
and 2008 vintages were rated 99 points! This bottle of wine will be a
treasure in any wine cellar and a special wine when you do open it.
This is a hard-to-get wine because the winery’s mailing list is closed,
and there is a waiting list to get on the mailing list. Canlis currently lists
a magnum of 2008 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon on their online
wine list for $950. You do not want to miss this year’s magnum of
Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon.
Value:
$297

French Bordeaux
(Rothschild & Two Bottles
Chateau Clerc Milon)
Enjoy three bottles of French Bordeaux - one bottle of 1990 Chateau
Mouton Rothschild and two bottles of 2003 Chateau Clerc Milon.
In 1855, the Bordeaux official wine classification was introduced.
France’s best Bordeaux wines were classified into five growths crus.
Since 1855, only two changes have been made to this classification.
Chateau Mouton Rothschild has been a First Growth Bordeaux since
1973, and Chateau Clerc Milon was classified as a Fifth Growth since the
1855 classification. Tasting notes from the webite provide the following
description of the 1990 Chateau Mouton Rothschild: “The wine has a
lovely colour, dense and opaque, with a brickish tinge at the rim.
The nose is rich and ample, mingling notes of hummus, plum brandy,
cherry pit and kirsch with the toasted, roasted aromas of still rather
prominent oak. The oak persists on the palate, though the tannins are
well-integrated and the structure elegant, enhanced by notes of small
game, incense and toast. A refined and pleasant finish reveals the
delicate charms of a vintage that is maturing well.”
