FUNdraiser auction

2007-08-18T09:54:00.000-04:00

The question has been asked what could be donated for auction items for the Trivia Night. The plan is to have a silent auction prior to the trivia event and then conduct a live auction during the trivia event in between rounds of questions. So large and small items are all welcome of all kinds. The crowd will be quite diverse and so it likely follows that the auction interests will be as diverse in type and price. So send anything of auction value. A recent benefit auction at St Matt's had items such as: a generator, ND football tickets, an Ipod, rounds of golf, dinner for groups of various sizes, legal fees, oil changes. Anything!

If you have any questions about a specific item I urge you to contact Jeff Kloska @ kloskagolf@aim.com or by phone @ (574) 286-2675.

The FUNdraiser is on!

Kloska Trivia Night Benefit

The date is set: September 29th

There is an organizing committee hard at work to bring this together and details will be coming soon. Critical to a successful night will be sponsorship of this event through corporate table sponsorship (monetary donations-details coming) and auction items for both a silent auction and a live auction. Anyone interested in making a contribution to this event in either of these ways please standby for contact information coming by weeks end.

Family and friends of Bobby and Margy,

We are renewing the three pronged effort to assist the Kloskas which began last year at The Great Lenten Prayer Storm of 2006: 'Shake Down the Thunder' for the Kloskas! We are also learning this blog thing as we go so please be patient with us. Most immediately is an effort to make a new appeal to all for the Kloska Relief Fund as has already been mentioned here --> Na Zdrowie! The Kloska Family Blog by Mary. With Bobby going back to Chicago for treatment in the near future Margy and Bobby will face some significant financial challenges. Please help as much as you can. More to come on this and other efforts. The contact info for forwarding donations remains the same as last year. Checks should be made payable to St. Joseph Parish and can be mailed or delivered to:

Administration Manager
St. Joseph Parish
211 N. St. Louis Blvd.
South Bend, IN 46617

Please be sure to write Kloska Relief Fund on the memo line, and we'll be sure that it's used for that purpose.

Please visit the original website at the 2006 Shakedown..... link above to understand the full effort that we look to restore. There will be more to come on the prayer efforts and the fasting can be consistent with the original effort, yes adding the occassional PBR is still acceptable, but not required for those who see this as punitive (sorry Bobby).

Stay tuned......
