WANTED!!
Silent and Live Auction Donations!

MCREST seeks supporters and friends to consider making a donation for its 2010 Auction to be held on April 17th at the "Spring Fling" event.

We would like to encourage you, our friends and supporters, to consider making a donation to our 2010 Silent Auction. So if you have sports season tickets, theatre or opera tickets consider donating them to the cause! How about if you own a vacation home/condo, donating a weekend, or even a whole week? Maybe you can donate rounds of golf at your club or favorite golf course?

Be creative. Other fine suggestions are: spa and fitness club packages, golf and dinner packages, electronics, jewelry, gift certificates to fine dining, a hotel get-away, and autographed sports items. As a donator, your name will appear next to your donation and in our program. In addition; we will “thank you” in our next newsletter.

The proceeds from the 2009 Silent Auction will help support our work – providing emergency shelter and reducing homelessness!

To donate please call MCREST – 586-415-5101 or you can download and complete the Auction Donation Form below and send it to the office.
