Subj: Weaver's Sky Box Seats Auction
To: Tony Domenech, Rotary Club of Gainesville


Rotarians,

We are auctioning the two tickets to the highest bidder (minimum $2,000) to raise money for the Rotary Foundation's end Polio Now Campaign. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to sit with the Weavers in their box. The winning bidder must use the tickets themselves, as their name will be registered with the Jaguars as VIP guests of Rotary and the Weavers.

The winning bidder will get credit in their name for the amount of the bid as a direct contribution to the Rotary Foundation for 2009. If you have pledged to give to the Rotary Foundation, here is a great way to help fulfill that pledge. Bids will be submitted via email to John Linge at jlinge@cparn.com. You can call Libby at John's office (904-541-0076) to see what the amount of the current bid is or if you have any other questions. The deadline for the winning bid is December 1, 2009 at 1 pm. Good Luck and Good Bidding.
