2019 Annual Scholarship Auction/Dinner Highlights
|
A team of 30+ Lions expertly led by Lions Jan Graham, Vicky Reyes, Ginny Munn, Deanna Rogers and Molly Hughes, joined forces to put on what had to be our best Scholarship Fundraiser ever. One item, a tour of historic Coupeville homes, went for $2,750. Lion President Doug Kroon was a masterful emcee, and the tag-team of Lion Bob Clay and Auctioneer Dale Sherman, extracted large sums for Coupeville High School students.
This years' 14th Annual event sold out early and after adding an extra table, sold out again with over 150 in attendance, not including about 20 Coupeville High School Students. This event has grown to be our single, largest scholarship source with over $300,000 awarded throughout the years. Last year, all twenty students who applied received scholarships. This years' Lions Scholarship Auction and Dinner was held Saturday, February 23, 2019 from 5:00pm until 8:30pm at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. A fine selection of wine, beer and cheeses selected by Coupeville's bayleaf kicked off the feeding frenzy for active bidders at the Silent Auction tables. A full dinner menu headlined by Chicken Marsala and Orca-friendly Sockeye Salmon, prepared by the Elks and served by Coupeville High School National Honor Society students, was included in the fun. Everyone raved about the dinner! And that doesn't even count the dessert frenzy, in which sinfully delicious and beautifully decorated Lions' and friends' cakes, pies and assorted other decadent donations went to the highest bidding tables. The fancy Dessert Dash raised the bar (or the cake) to over $6000. |
