| It's
that time of the year and with only 2 weeks to we need your help! Our one and
only fundraising effort of the year is the Enchanted Forest Dance and Auction
on December 5th at the Ted Ferry Civic Center.
The Chamber is looking
for your support on two levels.
 First:
Plan to attend the December 5th Auction and purchase a ticket early! Fantastic
food and live music entertainment are guaranteed to make for a great evening of
dining and dancing to welcome in the holiday season. Only 194 tickets are available.
Companies may reserve a table for their employees at a discounted price of $300
for eight seats. Individual tickets are $40.
Second: Please consider donating
an item for auction! You can do this in several ways:
Be a tree sponsor!
Large Christmas trees will be provided by the chamber for your company to decorate
and lavish with gifts and gift certificates. Twelve trees will be available for
live auction - in the past these trees have raised thousands of dollars and have
provided great opportunity for companies to promote their services and their creativity.
10% of money raised will go to a charity of the donor's choice. This year's trees
will be fresh cut beautiful Douglas Firs provided by North Shore Gardens. Companies
can decorate their prize trees at Ted Ferry Civic Center on the morning of the
event ( December 5 ) between the hours of 9:00 am and Noon. Being a tree sponsor
is a lot of fun and garners a great deal of the evenings focus. If you, your business
or organization is interested in being a tree sponsor, please contact the Chamber
right away. (Update! Tree sponsors are already filled up! Hope that you can be
there to see these wondrous spectacles and the fantastic job that our tree sponsors
do!)
Donate a small-decorated Christmas tree or wreath or perhaps
even a Christmas stocking bestowed with gift certificates and or gifts. These
items have proved very popular in the past. Trees can be brought to Ted Ferry
during the morning on December 5th Wreaths may be delivered on the day at Ted
Ferry or prior to December 5th st at the Chamber Offices.
Donate a product,
service, or gift certificate to be part of a silent auction. Please indicate clearly
what you are offering, and its retail value. Items need to be dropped by the Chamber
Officeprior to December 3rd.
The Enchanted Forest Fund Raiser is the
only Chamber fund raising event of the year and your support is critical in funding
our goals of promoting a strong and diversified economy in Ketchikan. Your support
will receive prominent advertising of your company's involvement in all our promotional
material.
We look forward to having you be a part of 2009's Enchanted
Forest Dance and Auction! See you there
