Auction Letter

Your participation will make the 24th Annual Lobster Feed and Auction successful!

Without you and other generous citizens, the Rotary Club of Lake Oswego would not be able to fund more than $150,000 each year for community and international projects and programs.

The beneficiaries of the 2008 event will be the Lakewood Center for the Arts, Clackamas Women's Services/Domestic Violence Shelter, Oswego Heritage House, Clackamas Children's Center, The Lake Oswego School District Foundation, Child Advocates (formerly CASA) and a number of other local and international charities

More than 650 people will enjoy an old-fashioned New England lobster dinner in a huge circus-style tent and bid on attractive auction items. Attendees pay for their own dinner plus an additional tax-deductible contribution. Tickets are $125 for Regular seating ($95 is tax deductible) and $160 for Patron seating ($130 is tax deductible). A limited number of Premier Sponsor Tables (round tables with seating for up to 10) will be available for $2,000 ($170 is tax deductible).

Browse the silent auction displays and participate in a lively and exciting oral auction. Dinner includes Maine lobster, clams, salad, corn on the cob, dessert, wine and beer.

Your donated item or service will be attractively displayed and/or given appropriate written or verbal acknowledgement in the evening's program. It is a fine way to publicize your business and be a part of our Lake Oswego community. You will receive a confirmation receipt for your gift that will entitle you to tax deduction. The Rotary Foundation of Lake Oswego is a tax exempt, charitable organization for both state and federal tax purposes. Your gift is tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Our tax ID number is 93-1000938.

We sincerely appreciate your support of our organization's work to make our community a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Sincerely,

Bill Peterson, Auction Chairman 2008
