Over 30 local Businesses Have Donated Items to the 2011 Auction
The Hand Up Gala opening event took place Friday October 21, 2011 at lunch time. You may have seen the event featured on WEWS Channel 5. Above are the two chefs from the Renaissance Hotel, Mark Lyons (left) and John Aldewereld who prepared a fantastic meal of spinach quiche, stuffed chicken with roasted garlic, rice with sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, and dutch apple pie. We were able to serve 215 hungry individuals, and we want to thank City Councilperson Mamie Mitchell and Laurie and Morris from Congressman Kucinich's office for helping. Board members and staff of Catholic Charities as well as the NEOCH all helped to serve and seat people. There will be more pictures on our website soon.
We are not doing the drawing for this event until November 7, and so you have a couple of weeks to get your donation in to participate in the auction. You can donate online at www.neoch.org or by sending in a donation of $45 to NEOCH indicating the Hand Up Gala in the memo line. For every $45 donated, we will enter your name into the auction to win some of the great prizes. Just to name a few of the auction items: tickets to Hale Farm, Lake Erie Captains and Akron Aeros tickets, a gift basket from Trader Joes and $150 gift certificate to the Pine Lakes Lodge Bed and Breakfast. Get your donation in now to help NEOCH with our winter blanket drive!!!
Thanks to the committee who put this together including Holly, Larry, Luke, Dorothy, Nicole, Dominica, Michelle and Colleen.
