MISSION STATEMENT
Enriching, inspiring and expanding every child’s education through the arts.
WELCOME FROM SWEET PEA COTTAGE’S HEAD OF SCHOOL
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want
them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
- Albert Einstein
Good evening, and welcome to Sweet Pea Cottage’s tenth annual
auction. Our Once Upon a Time theme illuminates the magic that
happens each day here at Sweet Pea and the wonder and hope our
littles will carry with them into their future.
We hold dear our wonderful community of dedicated teachers,
administrative staff, Board members, talented artists, committed
cultural ambassadors, alumni, and of course, our wonderful littles and
their families. I am proud and honored to be a part of this evening as
we continue to support Sweet Pea’s mission. We are all here
celebrating dreams, possibilities and bright futures – all of which are
fostered through the arts.
Thank you to all who have worked so hard on this year’s event –
especially our Team Leaders: Becky Pelletier, Carol George, Kat Lin,
Linda Sherran, Maya Lang, Michele Janes, Nicole Doyle, Pamela
Jaynes, and Tracy Martinez. Thank you also to our dedicated Board
President, Laura Boyd, our past Board President, Sara Eaton, and the
rest of our wonderful Board of Directors for supporting us in leading
the way every day. Most of all, our sincere thanks to the Sweet Pea
administrators and teachers – because of you, our littles are truly able
to discover, create, and celebrate their imaginative world!
Have a wonderful evening!

EVENING HIGHLIGHTS...
DINNER AND DRINKS
We will enjoy catering by the Renaissance Seattle Hotel, with delectable
dishes for vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike. Each guest will receive a
drink ticket good for domestic beer or wine. Additional drink tickets are
available for $8. A no-host full bar service will be available throughout the
evening.
SILENT AUCTION
Registration entitles you to a bidder number. Your bidder number is located
on both your bidder card and nametag. It allows you to bid on all items in the
Silent and Live Auctions. There are three Silent Auction sections this
evening, each with separate closings. To place a bid on a Silent Auction item,
print your name and bidder number clearly on the bid sheet next to the
amount you would like to bid. Remember, you may skip lines if you wish! All
bids must be written prior to the closing of the section. The silent auctions will
close at various intervals throughout the evening. Closing times will be
announced 5 minutes and 1 minute before closing, and counted down from 30
seconds, and the winning bidders will be confirmed. The first bidder to sign for
the “Guaranteed Bid” price becomes the final purchaser, and bidding on that
item is concluded.
LIVE AUCTION
We have over 25 Live Auction items this year! Raise your bidder card to bid
on amazing trips, events, parties, and experiences. Each item goes to the
highest bidder.
GIFT CERTIFICATE FRENZY
Get ready for action during this year’s Gift Certificate Frenzy! The fastest
hand will take home a great gift card at face value. Listen to the Auctioneer
during the Live Auction for full details on how the game is played.
WIN THE WINE CELLAR
Remember the amazing wine collections that went home with our lucky
winners last year? Well, this year we are offering two Wine Cellars, each with
over 50 bottles valued at over $1,500! Your chance to bid for first choice of the
available Wine Cellars will come during the Live Auction. Don’t want to be in
a bidding war but still want a chance to win? We are also featuring a Wine
Cellar in this year’s raffle opportunities. Simply purchase raffle tickets ($25

Back by popular demand, and the highlight of the evening! Our very talented
Sweet Pea bakers have created a variety of mouth-watering desserts. At your
place setting, you will find a Dessert Dash bid card to fill out. The table with
the highest overall dessert bid will be announced toward the start of the Live
Auction. When your table number is called, the designated runner for your
table will dash across the room and claim your dessert. Your chosen dessert
will then be cut and prepared as necessary by the Renaissance catering staff
and delivered to your table for you to enjoy!
FUND-AN-ITEM
Don’t miss this important part of the Live Auction! This fund is used to
purchase items that are essential for the day-to-day operations of our school.
When the amount you would like to contribute is announced, raise your bidder
card high in the air. Our goal for Fund-an-Item is to raise $15,000 this year,
and we have all the confidence in the world our Sweet Pea friends and families
will get us there! See more details in our Live Auction section of the catalog.
