NEXT Planning Meeting, November 18th!

The next meeting for the 2009 Auction will take place on Tuesday November 18th, 2009 at 7pm at SOS. This year’s auction is sure to be a “Red Carpet Event”! If you have volunteered to chair a committee or to help out with the auction we hope that you are able to make it to the meeting. Each meeting will run about an hour and a half and will be very productive we will also have fun! Starting with a fun ice breaker and each meeting will have a theme that ties into “Classic Hollywood”. Volunteering for the auction is a great way to meet new friends and catch up with old friends as well! So spread the word. We look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions please contact Nicole Caskey, Shelley Cramer or Rachel Crosno.

Those that have already signed up have been sent an e-vite for the meeting. If you would like to be added to the e-vite list or think that you have already given your email address but did not receive an e-vite please let Shelley Cramer know.

A Note About the Silent Auction

With the auction coming up, we need your bags!  Please save any bag that has a handle on it (i.e. Macy’s, Bath & Body Works, Victoria Secret.)  You can either drop them off at the Dolphin Store, call me and I will come get them or bring them to a SOSA meeting.  I am also looking to borrow several large Rubbermaid storage containers.  They will be returned in March.

Movie Trivia

Gone With The Wind was the first movie filmed in color to win the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1939

This is our largest charity project of the year. SOSA members together with the Chief Petty Officers' spouses put on this fabulous event. Verbal proceeds and a portion of the Silent proceeds go to the Dolphin Scholarship Foundation (DSF). For more information on DSF visit www.dolphinscholarship.org.
