Saturday, May 10th
Lynn Museum & Historical Society
Dear Parents, Teachers, Friends and
Community Supporters,
On behalf of the 2014 MCCPS Auction Committee, welcome to our 2014
Annual Auction, “Sailing to Success.” This is a wonderful community
gathering full of fun, camaraderie and the opportunity to support our
students in a meaningful way.
Each one of us is here tonight because we made a thoughtful and deliberate
choice about our children’s education and future. As MCCPS parents,
we have the privilege to directly impact their education. The funds raised
tonight will directly benefit our students by providing the school the
resources to afford the best possible learning experience for our children.
We are very grateful for the efforts and donations of our parents, faculty, friends
of the school and other community donors whose hard work and generosity
have made this event possible, thank you.
Please be sure to thank the businesses that have donated items and services the
next time you visit their places of business. This will let them know that their
contribution is appreciated and valued.
We hope you have a great time tonight and win great prizes but remember, where
the money goes! So bid high and bid often, because it is our children who win.
Enjoy and have a great night!
Thank you to our Foundation Members and Auction Committee:
Emma Amsler, Sarah Arnold, Jeff Barry, Pam Castner, Robert Crosby, Nina
Cullen-Hamzeh, Michael Gitelman, Pam Haley, Bill Laganas, Andy Leband,

QUICKIE BOARDS
Quickie Board items will be displayed on white boards. Provide your bid
number and your bid amount to the Quickie Board Captains. You can
bid as many times as you like! Bids must be raised by increments of $10,
unless otherwise noted. Please make sure to note whether the item has a
minimum starting bid. The highest bidder at the time the Quickie Board
closes will be the winner of that item. The Quickie Board Captains
reserve the right to settle any dispute regarding the winner of the item,
and their decision will be final.
HEADS OR TAILS Get ready for some FUN!
Prize: A Sonos Playbar and Bridge valued at $750! This compact wireless
speaker brings high-quality audio to any space in your home. A single app
lets you play your entire music library, stream all of your favorite music
services and tune in to more than 100,000 Internet radio stations.
How To Play: $10 gives you a flashing necklace and a chance to play this
coin toss game. As we gather for the live auction, our auctioneer, Barton
Hyte, will ask all Heads or Tails participants to stand up. Before he tosses
the coin, he will ask participants to choose “heads” or “tails” by placing
their hands on either their heads or their “tails.” After the coin is tossed,
“losers” sit down, and the game begins again. This continues until the
crowd whittles down to two final participants, and then finally, the lucky
winner remains standing.
LIVE AUC TION
Bid using your assigned bid number. The highest bidder recognized by
the auctioneer will be the winner of the item. In the event of a dispute
between bidders, the auctioneer has sole discretion to determine the
winning bidder, and the auctioneer’s decision is final and binding. If one
person bids for a group (several people going in on one item), the bidder
is required to pay the total amount of the bid. That person is then
responsible for collecting money from the group.

to create opportunities for parent/guardian involvelment,
to build community among the adults of MCCPS, and
to support the school in the fulfillment of its mission.
In order for us to do what the kids deserve, an
