Vacation in Cabo San Lucas or Sun Valley? Perhaps reserved seats at a Giants game and an exclusive Merton Hanks shirt would delight you, or someone you love. This is a great time to pick up gifts as well as purchases you will have to make anyway - such as driving lessons for a teen.
The Priory will again offer a raffle winner the choice of free tuition next year or $10,000 in cash. The second prize winner will head for a $500 shopping spree at Stanford Shopping Center.
Computers and high-tech gear; tickets to everything; sports equipment and lessons; certificates to restaurants and clubs and spas; baskets of goodies from books to foods to travel supplies; consulting services for all kinds of needs; gifts of time ranging from window washing to hosting a party — check the Auction page and be surprised!
“In the dining room, I think people will enjoy the tables for ten, the take-home treats at each setting — and the food and wines are delicious. I’ve tasted them,” Cindy said.
The live auction is a great time to laugh as well as spend. Last year, people couldn’t wait to out-bid each other for the right to remove a speed bump from the Priory driveway. It was so popular that Mr. Molak is going to sacrifice another speed bump this
year, she added.
For seventeen years, people from the Priory
community have come together to celebrate at the auction - parents, alumni, their parents, faculty, monks and chapel friends all come. Every year, when people collect their “winnings” and are ready to leave,
they also take away a warm feeling of being
part of a school worth supporting. This is a
terrific community and this year’s auction will
be the 18th terrifically good time, Mr. Molak
said.
