Thank you for being here. Your presence tonight demonstrates your commitment to our mission, to your communities, and to the people we serve. If you look around you tonight, you will find yourself amidst passionate supporters of a truly diverse, inclusive, and accessible Eastside. The group of supporters here tonight, and the dedication they have shown to these issues, makes us confident that together, we can make true progress in the years ahead. We have so much to celebrate and look forward to in 2016. Our latest community, Athene, will break ground this summer, providing 91 affordable new homes for seniors who are being priced out of the housing market on the Eastside. Moreover, 20 of those units will be set aside for our most vulnerable homeless seniors. It is your support and generosity that have made Athene possible, and that will enable 91 senior households to remain in the communities they call home. While Athene will make a tremendous impact in our community, we know the demand for affordable housing is only growing. Imagine Housing’s combined waitlists at our affordable housing communities grew 18% from last year, now totaling 2,634 unduplicated households, while the Eastside continues to experience an ever-growing homeless population. The 2016 One Night Count, held in January, identified an 83% increase in the number of unsheltered individuals on the Eastside over the prior year. It is not acceptable that so many cannot afford a place to live. The increasing cost of housing is a growing social problem influencing health outcomes, educational success, contributing to gridlock on the roads and impacting the local economy. Hardly a week goes by without the issue of housing or homelessness making the news in some fashion. With your support, Imagine Housing is in a position to lead our community’s response to this issue, bringing us closer to realizing our vision of an Eastside with interconnected and welcoming communities where all people can live, learn, work and play. Thank you for being here tonight. Words cannot express how important your support is to us and to the long term health and vibrancy of our community.

PA G E 2 4 | Imagine 2016 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” (bid) 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 of a Silent Auction item 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.
