Favorite Auction Memories
First Auctions:
I just remember the warmth and companionship I felt as a new parent to King School being welcomed and appreciated by the whole team. --Alena Stocking
I remember my first year at King, I had no clear idea what a silent auction actually was. I had several items I wanted to bid on, but didn't realize some things closed first-I arrived so late I missed the entire first close and didn't even get to bid! --Camille Ziolek
My 1st auction...I was quite the novice.. .I thought "for sure" we won the Holiday Inn night and I was even a table monitor that night . . .went to check out only to find we won nothing. What a rookie. --Lisa Kohn
Bidding & Winning . . .or not
"Not winning a DARN thing..... but enjoying myself a WHOLE LOT - I didn't even win the Franklin books.... but had a great time."-- Alena Stocking
The craziness of trying to remember what I bid on and the pleasant surprises at the end when I won things I didn't remember bidding on. --Sandy Aldrich
Getting every-five-minute frantic updates from my child hovering over the auction sheet to make sure we put in the last bid on the item she wanted. --Reates Curry
I like watching people trying hard to look like they're not hovering over a bid sheet, even though that's exactly what they're doing. --Camille Ziolek
I love watching the students try to convince their parents what is the best deal and what to bid on. --Sandra Michalik
Watching parents trying to block other parents from bidding on auction items . . . and me suggesting that some slide tackling might be considered. --Mr Karr

Silent Auction Tip #2
Remember the raffle. For just $1, you have a chance to win an iTouch, a Limo ride with Mr. Karr, King Wear, baskets and more!
Give your kids a few dollars and let them experience the thrill of trying to win something for themselves, because....CHILDREN are not permitted to bid on table items---Not even a GOBS OF GUM basket, or 200 SQUISHES, or 500 BOX TOPS,or the case of wine!
(Parents must be aware of their children's whereabouts at all times)
