Thunder Ridge Auction - Adult Night Out :)

Our Thunder Ridge PTA is starting a new, fun, tradition for all adults, with a vested interest in Thunder Ridge Elementary.  PTA offers amazing programs for students of all ages and being that we are a new school the PTA cannot run without raising money.  Our Board has decided to make this fundraising opportunity an enjoyable one, at an impressive location, where you can come and bid on fabulous items for you or your children while eating wonderful desserts, hanging with friends, making new friends, and out-bidding your competition to win what you want . . . in other words, I'm personally going to rally a bunch of BYU fans to win the "Cougar Fight Song" being played on the school intercom every Friday for the entire school year and if a bunch of UTE fans try to outbid us, so their fight song will be played, you can rest assured that auction will be a lively battle to the finish.

There will be many silent auction items, including class baskets from all of your students' teachers and each of those auctions will end at different times so that you will be able to bid on more than one item if desired.  Toward the end of the night we will have a live auction for some of the bigger items and you will definitely want to stick around to be a part of that.

We hope all of you will consider joining us for this event!  We know that times are difficult for many of us and spending the extra money may not be in the budget, but we would appreciate seeing as many people there as are able to come.  You can come alone, come as a couple, come as friends, come with Grandma and Grandpa, come with a neighbor, but PLEASE come.  You may find that there are items you would purchase anyway that now you know your money will be used for supporting children's school programs.  We appreciate your support and since this is our only PTA fundraiser for the year, we hope it will be the greatest success!

Thank you!
