The biggest night in Coupeville athletics is back on the calendar.
The booster club’s annual dinner and auction, which got dinged a bit by the pandemic, is back in full force and going down Saturday, Nov. 11.
Doors open at 4:30 PM at the Whidbey Island Nordic Lodge, which is located at 63 Jacobs Road.
Dinner, provided by Serendipity Catering and Events, begins at 6:00, with a dessert auction set for 6:30.
This year is NOT a crab feed but features a “yummy menu!” according to Booster Club bigwig Jess Lucero.
“If someone wants a vegetarian dish, they should request it at the time they purchase their ticket from a board member,” she added.
A silent auction and raffles will run through the evening, with a live auction at 7:00 emceed by The Velvet Voice of the Prairie himself, Dale Sherman.
Among the items up for grabs include a one-week stay at a Maui condo, a sunset cruise, and a four-day, three-night stay at a townhome in Park City, Utah — home of the Sundance Film Festival.
There will also be a variety of themed baskets, including Italian dinner and wine and cheese assortments, as well as Sherman beef, running and Patagonia gear, and local artwork.
Cost for the night is $55 per person, or $400 for a table of eight.
All proceeds go to help the Coupeville Booster Club, which provides major funding for school athletics.
The organization annually awards eight $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors, while also providing a yearly stipend to high school and middle school sports programs.
The club provides roses for Senior Night festivities, varsity letters for Wolf athletes, meal money and goodie bags for road trips, and numerous team improvement items.
These have ranged from literature and DVDs to tarps, weight room equipment, batting cages, upgrades to school athletic fields and facilities, and t-shirts for cancer awareness nights.
The Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, which documents accomplishments from 100+ years of Coupeville athletics?
It wouldn’t exist without the support of the boosters, who provided the biggest financial contribution to its development, and continue to handle updates.
Your bucks help the booster club thrive, and the club helps athletics thrive. The circle of life in Wolf Nation.
