Annual Auction at Aqua Turf September 10, 2009

The Joseph F. Coffey Boys & Girls Club Executive Auto Annual Gala Auction will be held on Thursday September 10, 2009 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington. Teresa LaBarbera, Channel 3 WFSB Morning Celebrity will be the guest host. The fund raising event includes 4 carving stations, clams on the half shell, beer, wine and soda. Last years event drew almost 300 people and generated over $15,000 for the boys and girls at the Club. The doors open at 5:00 and bidding ends at 7:00.

Last years auction featured over 120 items in all price ranges in a silent auction so that no one was left out of the bidding. Highlights included a live auction featuring a foursome of golf at the Firestone Country Club in Ohio for a weekend of golf at the Championship course. Included was lodging and food and great golf. The live auction also included spirited bidding on a Pig Roast at your home prepared by two members of the Board of Directors, tickets to any Broadway Show for any date you wanted with seating in the first  four rows, and several other high interest items.

Live music was provided during the evening and attendees had a great time while providing the boys and girls with funding for their programs. This year music will be supplied by Vincent Ingala.

 Tickets for the event are $50.00 per person. If you would like tickets or information please contact the Club at 203-235-8185 or e-mail to Donmaleto@bgcmeriden.org.
