VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – St. Catherine School’s Annual Fall Auction is just around the corner, happening at the Eagles Club in Valley City on Friday, November 8th, starting at 5:00 PM. We’re excited to celebrate our 52nd auction with this year’s inspiring theme, “Reach for the Sky.”
Kicking off this exciting week is our Fall Auction Kickoff Breakfast on Sunday, November 3rd. Join us for a free-will breakfast lovingly prepared by our school families and the KC’s of the parish. Enjoy delicious French toast, scrambled eggs, ham, biscuits, and fresh strawberries and blueberries. Plus, the KC’s will match net proceeds up to $1,000. You won’t want to miss what we’ve got in store. Everyone in the community is welcome and encouraged to join us in the basement of St. Catherine Church from 9 AM to 12 PM.
Don’t forget about our raffle tickets. With a chance to “set your sights high” and “dream big,” you can snag one of only 300 tickets for $10. Lucky winners could take home $500 in cash sponsored by Bank Forward, $250 in cash from Ivy Real Estate Group, or a $150 Valley Meat gift card. The drawing will take place during the auction, and you don’t need to be present to win.
The silent auction kicks off at 5:00 PM with lots of fabulous baskets and surprises waiting just for you. Get ready to “Aim High” and place the highest bid on your favorite items. And make sure to save some room for our bake sale, where you can find delightful treats donated by our talented parents and wonderful parishioners. Trust us; these goodies sell out fast.
There are even more chances to win. Purchase a luggage tag for just $20, and you could be a lucky winner of a cash prize of $250; only 100 tags are available with two winners.
Join us at 6:30 PM for the Live Auction, where we’re “aspiring to greatness” with various lots available. If you’re looking for a reason to skip cooking one evening, explore our dinner options, including a chance to dine with Bishop Folda or Fr. Duchschere. And if you’re up for a little mystery, we also have mystery dinners and boxes for sale. Or how about a relaxing pontoon cruise on Lake Ashtabula, complete with appetizers, a steak dinner, dessert, and great conversation? There are so many items to help you truly “shoot for the moon.”
St. Catherine School wants to extend our heartfelt gratitude for all your past support and any continued help you can offer. We kindly ask for your prayers for a successful auction. The students and staff are continually praying for you, our wonderful community, and the surrounding area.
So, let’s “Reach for the Sky” together on Friday, November 8th, at the 52nd annual St. Catherine School Fall Auction, kicking off at 5:00 PM at the Valley City Eagles Club. We can’t wait to see you there. Please contact the school if you have any questions about the Fall Auction by calling 701-845-1453.
