auction of some pretty cool items

There is a lot of excitement in the home office of Change the Truth these days. (Did you know the office is also my kitchen?)

For the past few weeks, I've been working overtime trying to get everything in order for the 4th Annual CTT Friendraiser/Fundraiser.

New to the event this year will be a silent auction of items donated by Kansas City merchants. There will be close to 50 items up for grabs. I'm really happy with what we've put together, especially since it has been our first foray into this aspect of fundraising.

Let me whet your appetite a bit:

a Nikon Coolpix digital camera from Cricks (value $349)

a gorgeous pearl broach from Tom Tivol (value $395)

one hour massage from Hollyday (value $75)

bagels for a year from Panera's (value $175)

dinner for two at Grand Street Cafe (value $75)

haircut and moisturizing treatment by a senior stylist at Bijin (value $82)

a premier facial from Carpe Diem (value $90)

four tickets to a Royal game, first row behind the Crown seats (value $210)

pilates classes at Personal Best (value $180)

Ladies Night of shopping at J. Hathaway's Shoes (value $350)

one summer camp session at Young Audiences (value $200)

two tickets to "August Osage County" at the Missouri Rep (value $120)


The event on June 24th is free and open to the public; there is no charge to bid on these great items and more. Come join us from 7 - 10 PM at Leedy-Voulkos Art Center, 2012 Baltimore in the crossroads district of KC.

Stay tuned for more updates on what will be happening that night!
