Capital One Bank presents Friday, October 23, 2015 | The Jefferson Hotel The 18th Annual Auction of Wine, Travel, Entertainment and Culinary Treasures to benefit Maymont Tradition, Uncorked. Good evening and welcome to the 18th annual Vintage Maymont auction. Tonight, we invite you to celebrate the Dooleys’ extraordinary gift of Maymont and be inspired to carry on their spirit of generosity. In 2016, we will mark the 90th anniversary of Maymont opening its gates to the public. The Dooleys’ bequest was just the first of many acts of kindness to make Maymont a cherished place for all. So many generous individuals, families and organizations, including friends with us tonight, have made the Dooleys’ estate into a beloved Richmond treasure. The last nine decades at Maymont have seen enhancements like the wildlife exhibits, the Robins Nature & Visitor Center and Raptor Valley where our children and grandchildren can discover the wonders of the natural world. Meticulous care and restorations have made possible the estate’s designation as a National Register Historic Place and Virginia Historic Landmark, protecting exquisite one-of-a-kind artifacts. The beautifully planted gardens are some of the most photographed places in the region and the venue for countless wedding celebrations each year. It all may look like it happens by magic, but we know better. Maymont opens its gates, admission-free, to well over half a million guests each year, and that gift to the community is made possible by your contributions and fundraising activities like Vintage Maymont. You—our guests, donors, patrons and volunteers—have already shown tremendous support by being here tonight and so have the hundreds of businesses and individuals who provided an amazing array of items for bid. Please help us thank our donors by patronizing their establishments and telling them that you appreciate their contributions to this event. Now we need your active participation to generate excitement and successfully achieve our fundraising goals. Raise your paddles high and often to show your support. Find a treasure in the auction that will bring you back to Maymont. And let’s ensure that Maymont remains a place of joy and wonder for young and old alike for the next nine decades and many more. Gratefully, Melissa and Mark Christian & Sarah and Bruin Richardson, Co-Chairs And the entire Vintage Maymont Committee Presenting Sponsor Schedule of E vent s Empire Room: 6:00-8:00pm Reception Live Auction Preview Raffle Preview Silent Auction • Premier: 8:00pm Closing • Wine Premier, Wine Events: 7:50pm Closing • Glitz & Glamour, Works of Art, On The Town, Family Fun, For the Home, Action & Adventure: 7:40pm Closing Grand Ballroom: beginning at 8:00pm Proceed to Grand Ballroom Dinner Bar Opens, Dinner Served Welcome Live Auction 8:45pm Empire Room: 9:15pm Check-Out Opens Ta b l e o f Co n t e n t s 2–3..................................
