Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s),

This Sunday’s silent auction at The Crest is shaping up to be an incredible event.  Advance tickets are still available at the McMurrich office and at EcoExistence on St Clair.  Tickets will also be available at the door, so don’t despair if you miss out on the advance sales.  

The party gets underway at 7:00 p.m. with the start of the silent auction.  The auction will run until approximately 9:00 p.m., followed by live music.  Purchasing a ticket entitles you to one drink and delicious appetizers.  The Crest, located at 794 St. Clair Avenue West, has a delightful patio that the McMurrich meteorologist has promised will be put to good use.

The response to this event has been enormous, with over 75 tickets already sold and over $8,000 in donated merchandise to bid on.  Don’t miss out on what will surely be a grand evening of fun, bargain hunting, and relaxation.  

Don’t forget your cheque book!
