    Guest emcee Nick Toma of Good Day Sacramento

    With the St Francis Spring Auction less than four weeks away, big thanks to all who have donated items or volunteered so far. With your continued support this event will be a big success.  If you haven’t already done so, buy your tickets today because it will probably be a sell-out!

    Nick Toma, charismatic co-anchor of “Good Day Sacramento” is our emcee this year. No doubt Julissa Ortiz last year’s emcee and fellow TV talent told him what a great group we were!  Special thanks to Patrick Powers.

    This year we want to thank our most generous supporters by offering a bottle of “2005 Von Strasser Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District” for anyone who spends $1,000 or more on silent and live auction items. This outstanding selection retails for $50. In addition, the evening’s overall top spender will receive two tickets to next year’s auction.

    Please take a look at the Spring Auction blog, scope out your favorite items and bring your checkbook or credit card and let the bidding begin!

    We still need:
    Wine donations for the Wine Lover’s Estate Collection are still being collected – your child will receive a free dress pass.  Download the donation form from the website and bring it in with a bottle of wine worth at least $15.  You can pick up a bottle or two at Pine Cove Bottle Shop at 29th & E - a generous supporter of St. Francis fundraisers for many years.

    We also have a few event night and silent auction basket needs that can be found on our blog at: http://sfeauction.blogspot.com/p/donations-needed.html

    A huge thank you to our sponsors:

    Wine tour with the Reynoso’s, Value: Priceless

    Four couples will be driven to Clarksburg, CA for an afternoon of wine-tasting and appetizers.  We will visit Bogle Wineries, have appetizers, and then we’re off to The Old Sugarmill where you can sample wines from up to 6 different wineries!  Some of the wineries do charge a tasting fee of $5 (which goes towards a purchase of a bottle), but the appetizers, the ride, and company come with the prize!  Mr. Reynoso will be your designated driver (picking you up and taking you home) and his wife will prepare a variety of delicious vegetarian appetizers. 
    Consider bidding on Polo Adamo’s babysitting services, because this trip is for adults only.
