GALA CO-CHAIRS DANETTE SCALES & MECHELL HANSEN It’s Gala time! It’s hard to believe that we are half way through the school year and the Gala is upon us. The one night that we can come together as a community and show our appreciation and give thanks. Regardless if you have a child that’s pre-k or a senior getting ready to graduate, we are all a part of the same legacy that the Sisters started so many years ago. We are fortunate enough to be a part of, not only a school, but a family. We know that our children and so many others have benefited and grown from the guidance and tireless efforts of all of our teachers, administrators, coaches and staff. The programs that our campus offers are exceptional and diverse and require many hands and contributions. As you catch up with old friends or as you make new ones, remember that “it takes a village” and we can all make a difference. The Gala is the biggest fundraiser for the school and supports many of the programs that our kids enjoy as well as lights the way for those less fortunate. Thank you for joining us in supporting Valley Catholic. We hope you enjoy this year’s Gala!

“LIGHT A FIRE” “EDUCATION IS NOT THE FILLING OF A PAIL, BUT THE LIGHTING OF A FIRE.” - W. B. YEATS

Every student, every family and every classroom at Valley Catholic is impacted by financial aid. Some students, who are vital components of our student body, who bring unique gifts to our classrooms, would not be a part of our community without financial aid. Since the founding of our school, the Sisters have devoted themselves to meeting the needs of others. Tonight you can continue that legacy by making a generous donation to “Light a Fire.” Please consider: • On average, tuition covers only 75% of the true cost of educating each student • Financial aid helps keep our classrooms full and vibrant • Families attending VCS with the help of financial aid receive 50% or less of the aid for which they qualify • Your gift determines whether or not some students are able to attend Valley Catholic • Financial aid enables families who experience unexpected hardship to remain enrolled at VCS Be ready to raise your bid card during this extremely important part of tonight’s event. Matching Gifts: Many employers will match gifts that are made to “Light a Fire.” Matching gifts are often 50% to 100% of your donation, significantly increasing the impact of your generosity. For more information, go to ssmofoundation.org. 10

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS THE WALL OF WINE?

WHAT IS THE MINI-LIVE?

The Wall of Wine is a popular feature of the Silent Auction. For only a $20 donation, you may choose a “mystery bottle” of wine by pulling numbered cork from a basket. You will then be awarded the bottle of wine with the corresponding number. Every bottle of wine featured in the display will have a value of at least $20, and most often more. Tonight’s Wall of Wine was generously donated by our board directors and a few select wineries.

The coveted, creative Grade Projects will be featured in a special portion of the evening called the Mini-Live. Grade projects will be on display near the check-in area and that is where the MiniLive auction will be held promptly at 6:15 p.m. There will be announcements in the Silent Auction area giving all fair warning that the Mini-Live is about to start. Please be attentive so that you don’t miss out as this portion of the evening moves very quickly. You certainly won’t want to overlook your chance to go home with your child’s project! Bidding is open to all. Grade Projects will be sold during the Mini-Live PRIOR to the Live Auction.

WHAT IS A SIGN-UP PARTY? Sign-up Parties are a great way for you and/or your kids to participate in unique experiences with others in our school community. Sign-up Parties range in size from 6 to 60. The Signup Party boards are on display during the Silent Auction. You may add your name to as many lines as you wish, one name per line on the bid sheet. Parties fill up fast!

WHAT IS A GOLDEN TICKET? Win the chance to go home with the live auction item of your choice! Bidding takes place during dinner. • Tickets will be $100 each. • Only 100 tickets are available – you may purchase more than one ticket. • Be ready during dinner to raise your bidder number in the air. • Drawing will take place before the live auction.

WHAT IS LIGHT A FIRE? Light a Fire is a special paddle-raise, held during the Live Auction that impacts all of us by benefiting financial aid at Valley Catholic. Our school depends on financial aid to provide all students with the opportunity to experience the stellar education offered at Valley. Light a Fire gifts help maintain our enrollment and keep the cost of tuition as low as possible. Our auctioneer will offer a variety of giving levels. You may participate at the level with which you are most comfortable by raising your bidder number. Please continue to hold your bid card in the air until the auctioneer acknowledges your bid number. You may bid as often as you like until your desired contribution level is met. See more about light a Fire on p. 10.

GALA AUCTION RULES REGISTRATION • All bidders must register. You will be given an identification number to use for all bidding. One number will be given per family unit or individual guest; if requested, a family unit may request to have individual numbers.

• Due to local liquor control laws, restaurant certificates do not include alcoholic beverages, unless otherwise stated.

SILENT AUCTION

• Gift certificates not on display in baskets will be held at the check-out desk. They may be collected from retrieval when you check out.

• All items in the Silent Auction have bid sheets on the table in front of them. Items are located on the tables around the room. Persons desiring to bid must do so by legibly writing their bid number, full name and amount of bid in the spaces provided.

• Payment for winning bids at the Silent or Live Auction must be made by cash, check (payable to Valley Catholic Gala), or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover). Items too large to be taken home the night of the auction may be picked up the following Tuesday between noon and 5 p.m. at the Gala Office in the SSMO Convent, unless other arrangements are made with the Gala Chair/Official.

• Bid raises must be in the minimum amounts specified on the bid sheet. If the minimum bid is not observed, the bid is void. The Gala Chair/Official will make the final determination of the successful bidder on any written auction item. If a subsequent bid is disqualified or otherwise stricken for any reason prior to the closing of bidding, the last, highest bid on the bid sheet will be deemed the successful bid.

• Arrangements for dates for all trips and similar events are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Unless specified, all certificates for trips expire on February 11, 2018, one year from the date of the Gala. Moreover, no refunds are permitted for canceled, lost or unused tickets and/or accommodations, or if the purchaser is unable to arrange a mutually agreeable date for the purchased trip or event.

• Unless otherwise specified, all items and services purchased at the Gala will expire on February 11, 2018.

• Values set forth are estimates only and are not warranted by the Valley Catholic Gala or the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Foundation (hereinafter “Gala Chair/Official”) for tax purposes or for general value. All items are sold “As Is.” The Gala Chair/Official assumes no responsibility for the correctness of item description.

• Statements for Silent Auction purchases will be distributed during the Live Auction. A final receipt will be emailed by Friday, February 17.

• Some Silent Auction items may have designated “guaranteed bid” amounts. A bidder may choose to bypass all competitive bidding by paying the specified guaranteed bid listed on the bottom of the bid sheet. To do so, the bidder writes his/her bid number and name on the line next the guaranteed bid price. An Gala Chair/Official will draw a line across the entire bid sheet to indicate that the item is no longer available for bidding.

• Your signature on the registration form constitutes a legal contract to buy any item for which you are successful in bidding.

PURCHASING • All sales are final and there will be no exchange or refund on items except where specified.

• The Gala is run in accordance with the Oregon State law regarding auction sales. The specific statute applying to auctions can be found at Oregon Revised Statutes 72.3280.

• Under no circumstances may a bid sheet be removed except by the Gala Chair/Official. • Announcements will be made prior to the closing. The closing bid certified by an Gala Chair/Official will constitute the winning bid. The Silent Auction will close at 6:50 p.m. At that time, all bidding is over and no more writing is allowed on bid sheets.

67

GALA AUCTION RULES (continued) MINI-LIVE AUCTION • Grade Projects will be featured in a special portion of the evening called the Mini-Live. Announcements warning that the Mini-Live is about to begin will be made during the silent auction between 6:00 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. Then, at 6:15 the Mini-Live Auction will begin. The auctioneer will begin the oral bidding process. All Grade Projects will be sold during the Mini-Live PRIOR to the Live Auction. • Grade projects are exclusive to the Gala. No projects may be requested, created, copied or sold after the event without consulting a Gala Official.

LIVE AUCTION • Live Auction bidding will begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. and will continue until all items have been auctioned. Live Auction items are described in the Gala catalog. • Under Oregon law regarding auctions, a sale at auction is complete when the auctioneer so announces by lowering the gavel, or in any other customary manner. Therefore, once the gavel falls, the purchase is complete and the auction item has been purchased by the bidder. All sales are final and there will be no exchange or refund on an item except where specified. • To bid, the purchaser raises his/her bidder number high so it can be seen easily. It will be acknowledged by one of the spotters; then the purchaser may lower it until he/she wishes to bid again.

• Bidding order of Live Auction items is subject to change after the publication of Gala catalog. • No duplicate items may be offered in the Live Auction, unless authorized by the donor, in person or prior to bidding.

GOLDEN TICKET RAFFLE • Valley Catholic Golden Ticket raffle is held in strict accordance with Oregon state law and guidelines provided by the Oregon Department of Justice. Ticket purchasers must be at least 18 years old. • Golden Ticket Raffle: Guests may purchase a Golden Ticket; no more than 100 tickets will be sold at $100 each. The winning ticket will be drawn on stage just prior to the Live Auction. The winner will choose from all Live Auction packages. The method of payment toward the chosen package will appear as “Golden Ticket” in the payment section of the winner’s receipt. Once the winner has chosen the package and the Live Auction has begun, no changes will be allowed by the winner. Winner may forfeit the prize and donate the package back to the auction to be sold during the Live Auction. The Golden Ticket winner’s signature will be required for recording purposes.

PROXY BIDDING • Bids may be made in absentia via the proxy bid form provided by the Gala Office and available on the auction website. Proxy bids are applicable for Live, Mini Live and Silent Auction packages. Silent Auction items with guaranteed bids are exempt from Proxy bidding. Proxy bid sheets must be received in the Gala office no later than Thursday, February 9 at 5 p.m. Proxy Bidders will be represented by a Gala official during the bidding process. • Bidders may submit absentee bids for sign-up parties, but those bids will not be entered on the sign-up sheets until after the Silent Auction has closed and all bidders present at the Gala have had an opportunity to purchase spots.

WARRANTY • The Gala Chair/Official, Auctioneer, Seller or Donor may not give any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality of the description of the property listed for sale in the announcement concerning the sale.
