Calling all Artists…
Mahaska Hospice Auxiliary’s “Chair Affair,” set for Oct. 25.
The Mahaska Hospice Auxiliary is gearing up to host the “Chair Affair,” on Sat., Oct. 25. The event will be held at the William Penn Musco Technology Center. Hors d’oeuvres and the silent auction will begin at 6 pm. The live auction will start at 7 pm.
According to Event Chair Deb Farrow, the Hospice Auxiliary hosted a Chair Affair in 2006 and 2010. “These were highly successful fundraisers for the Hospice Auxiliary, and we were able to positively impact the lives of hospice patients and their families with the proceeds.”
Farrow said this year’s event will consist of creatively decorated and donated chairs to be auctioned. The Auxiliary is currently looking for artists and businesses to decorate or donate chairs for auction.
“The Auxiliary has a limited number of chairs for artists to decorate that are available on a first come, first serve basis,” Farrow said. “If you are interested in seeing them or would like more information, should give me a call at 641.676.4452.”
Farrow said that anyone interested in seeing chairs from past events or looking for decorating ideas should check out the Facebook page at “The Chair Affair for Mahaska Hospice.”
Tickets for the 2014 Chair Affair are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
Farrow said the committee is currently finalizing locations for ticket sales. You can also get your tickets or ask further questions about this fundraiser by calling Farrow at 641.676.4452 or emailing czbrat76@gmail.com.
