Two days to go, with 16 tickets left on the open market.
After that you’ll have to hang out behind the gym and deal with the ticket scalpers.
The return of the Coupeville High School Booster Club’s annual dinner and auction is set for this Saturday, Nov. 11, with doors opening at 4:30 PM.
The event happens at the Whidbey Island Nordic Lodge (63 Jacobs Road) and will be catered by Serendipity Catering and Events.
Dinner begins at 6:00, with a dessert auction set for 6:30, and a live auction hosted by Dale Sherman kicking off at 7:00.
A silent auction and raffles run throughout the evening.
Tickets are $55, or $400 for a table of eight, and can be obtained from Booster Club board members, who can be found at the end of this article.
Auction items continue to pour in, with some recent additions including “beachside drinks and pu pu platter,” hosted by Gordon McMillan and Nancy Conard, a painting party (with wine) for up to 10, and a dinner for six (with wine pairings) cooked in your home by a professional chef.
Those items join already announced ones such as 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.
Wolf cross country cares about your tender tootsies.
There will also be a variety of themed baskets available in the silent auction, including Italian dinner and wine and cheese assortments, as well as Sherman beef, running and Patagonia gear, and local artwork.
All proceeds 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.
