The always-popular Community Auction and Golf Tournament weekend is back. The auction will be held on Friday, Jan. 24, at 1 p.m. on the patio. The Founders Cup Golf Tournament is on the following day, Saturday, Jan. 25.
The big-ticket auction item will be the refurbished golf cart offered by A-1 Golf Carts, our corporate sponsor.
Our resident auctioneer Mike Goldade is heading up the event once again and will be accepting donations from the community for the auction beginning Jan. 4. Donations might include tickets to a concert or sporting event, a stay in your cottage or home, repair services, or a gift basket. Maybe you have an older golf cart taking up space in your garage. Perhaps you have a skill (plumbing, playing a musical instrument, gardening) that you would like to share or a special dinner you would like to host. If you have some of these to donate, please contact Mike at 403-318-9907 or [email protected].
Mary Stohr, of macaron fame, will be coordinating the famous baked goods donations from our own SunBird chefs. Collette Ellis-Toddington is busy getting donations from local businesses for the ever-popular silent auction. Shirley Goldade has contacted several experienced golf caddies who are willing to come to SunBird to provide the highest bidders with their expertise.
This annual event raises funds to support our Golf Club’s dedication to maintaining the glorious green space running through our community. Your contributions are essential. Save the dates: Jan. 24 for the auction and Jan. 24 for the Founders Cup.
