Some Enchanted Evenining Dinner and Auction – April 19

The McNamara Center was transformed into a tropical hideaway complete with palm trees, and deep blue seas at the island themed "Some Enchanted Evening" Dinner and Auction. As soon as they entered the center, guests, dressed in tropical attire, were surrounded by a huge array of varied auction items.

Elegant trees dripping with gold and silver jewelry, a freezer, beautiful paintings and artwork, a fully stocked wine refrigerator, numerous baskets filled with anything from electric toothbrushes and tooth whitening kits, to spa packages, and wine and cheese baskets, were just a few of the items almost too numerous to list. Silent bidding began promptly at 6:30 as guests enjoyed appetizers and beverages while they mingled with old and new friends moving from one exciting item to another. Master of Ceremony, Chris Vanocur led bidders around the center for one last opportunity to bid on their favorite items as he closed bidding on the different categories of donated gifts. Always a favorite with auction-goers were the creative and innovative class baskets made by all the students at St. Olaf.

After a marvelous dinner prepared by Roula's Café, Richard O'Keef, auctioneer for the evening, enticed and cajoled bidders to even higher amounts on many of the wonderful live auction items which included a trip to San Francisco to see the 49'ers play, vinyl fencing, a romantic stay in Park City at Stein Erickson's Lodge. Utah Jazz memorabilia were very popular with bidders as were dinners at Flemings Steakhouse, a catered dinner by Chef Steve Miller, a Dell Laptop Computer, and a custom-made poker table from Paul Folsom. Tom Kirkland's evening at KSL Studios is an annual favorite for auction goers as is the very coveted "No Hassle Parking Place". A big thank you to chairperson Sandra Ishii and all her very dedicated and hardworking staff of chair people who worked tirelessly with many enthusiastic volunteers, all of whom devoted countless hours of time and energy necessary to achieve a successful and profitable event. We want to extend our appreciation to all our generous donors who made our success possible. Please patronize this wonderful group of businesses and remember to thank for their donations to our school. A list of our donors can be seen here.
