In the spirit(s) of good fun and enjoyment of the current popularity of ghost hunting, we are pleased to announce the addition of a Ghost Hunting 101 course and ghost hunt at one of this area's most haunted inns as one of the items up for bid at the sixth annual Bursar's Benefit Auction!
Take yourself and three friends and learn all about this exciting field, so that you can dazzle your friends with your knowledge on the subject at your next family gathering or club meeting -- or perhaps figure out why that chair always creaks at 3:31 a.m. every night!
Rather go for something more traditional? Fear not. We have other interesting items to bid on as well!
The Bursar's Benefit Auction will be held on Wednesday, April 2, in the Clark Lounge of the Campus Center. The silent auction will run from 10:00 am to noon, followed by the live auction, featuring the scary combination of Sam Lapp and Duane Corbin as auctioneers. Proceeds from this auction will be divided to support Caygua Addiction Recovery Services (CARS) and Southside Community Center.
While you are contemplating becoming a ghost hunter, feast your eyes on these other items we have for you ...
Want lots of goodies all nicely wrapped in a beautiful basket so that you can get all you want in one fell swoop? Bid on one of our gift baskets! Back by popular demand, we have all sorts of combinations for you:
Thinking ahead to summer? Try the Fun in the Sun basket, laden with all the supplies you'll need for a lazy day of relaxation (or studying!) in the sun! Sounds pretty good about now, doesn't it?
Need a romantic evening to sit back and pamper yourself? Our Candle Basket offers a wide variety of all sorts and shapes of scented candles and holders to bring you the romantic evening that you crave!
Want a really neat basket to go along with the Candle Basket? How does a Spa Basket sound? If you are really clever, you can bid on both and combine the two baskets into your own private spa!
Proud to be an Ithacan? Our All Things Ithaca Basket is chock full of art, food and entertainment items with an Ithaca theme. Bring it home so all your friends and family will know why you are crazy about this place! Reminisce fondly of your favorite city when you are way!
Love those adorable little Webkinz you see all over town? Here's your chance to own several of your own! Bid on our Webkinz Basket and, as a bonus, join their online community and have fun keeping them fed, clothed and happy! Let it bring out the kid in you!
These are just a few of the wonderful offerings at the auction. Brought to you by your friends in Student Financial Services, the auction is already on the calendars of the most important people in the community ... and we know that you're one of them! Watch for our raffle sales tables in the Campus Center Lobby for the next two weeks leading up to the auction. Take some chances on the 50/50, Gift Card Basket, Money Tree, or Chocolate Basket raffles before your neighbor buys up all the tickets. We hear that even your dog and cat have been saving their kibble to trade in for tickets!
See you soon and, as always, thank you for supporting our cause!
