Discovery Auction: This Saturday!

Don’t stress – you haven’t missed it. There’s still time to buy tickets for our Discovery Auction this Saturday (February 29) to raise funds for our Discovery Elementary community. Come by the Discovery Speakeasy (ok, it’s Knights of Columbus) and have some fun, hang out with friends and support our school.

This year’s theme is Bootleggers Ball with live and silent auctions, heavy apps, dancing, and gaming tables along with a high-end scotch & whiskey bar (not included in ticket price).

Auction items include some killer vacation packages and house rentals, classes for just you and for your kids, experiences with teachers (ice cream, cupcake decorating, a sibling switch), as well as short getaways and nights out. Oh! And the parties! Those are our favorite!  

And, one more thing about attire. Some people are wearing a fun speakeasy-type costume, while others may give a slight shout-out to the theme (a little fringe or headband, maybe?), while others are just looking forward to a night without kids and are coming as their fabulous selves. That all sounds good to us! We are looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday – oh and here’s that ticket link one more time:
