Hope to see you there!

V5Y, Crimson Cool, and the Shoppers Beauty Boutique Basket have been the most popular items this week.  One of our most viewed items is the Introductory Flight Lesson, donated by the Pacific Flying Club, but no bids have been posted yet.  Another amazing opportunity to take advantage of is the pair of tickets to use the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges in Canadian and select European airports.

Just today, a 1 hour massage package was posted.  In addition to a massage, the package also includes four flower-shaped bath bombs, a clear plastic back massager and a vanilla Escents massage bar.  This package was generously donated by Cathy Charbonneau at Pacific Chiropractic and Massage Therapy in Yaletown.

You have just seven days left to place a bid on the items in our silent auction.  At 12:00 noon on Sunday May 30th, all online bidding will be closed. The auction will resume for a final three hours at the Salon Soiree being held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Salons.  To ensure that you are the successful bidder for the items of your choice, make sure you purchase your tickets for the Soiree by emailing us at CivicTheatreDramaQueens@gmail.com  Tickets are $10.

Cheers!

The Relay for Life is a 12-hour group relay.  Prior to the relay, each group (and each individual) sets a fundraising goal.  All money raised is donated to the Canadian Cancer Society, and the event takes place once each year.  Our group is called the Vancouver Civic Theatre Drama Queens.

Now that we’re just less than two weeks away from Vancouver`s Relay for Life, our group`s fundraising efforts are running with at full force.  So far, we`ve had two bottle drives, a barbeque and a yard sale.

Right now, we`re hosing an online silent auction.  We`ve had some pretty amazing donations for our auction, including an introductory flight lesson, a 1 hour massage package and some amazing pieces of fine art, including Crimson Cool by Sherry Cooper and V5Y by Michael Thiessen.

In one week – on Sunday May 30th at 7pm – we`re hosting an event at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Salons called Salon Soiree.  Local musicians and a burlesque performer have donated their time and talents to entertain those who attend.  Tickets are $10 each, and I`d love to see you there!

Through our collective effort, we`ve collected more than $1500.  After our Salon Soiree and Silent Auction, I really believe that we may just reach our $10,000 goal!  I`m so proud of our team!
