Silent Auction Results

SOLD OUT! We had 4 artist present and 16 items for bid which raised $215 for the YWCA Race Against Racism.

Can't wait to do it next year!

Silent Auction!

The LTS Art Guild is holding a Silent Auction to benefit the Race Against Racism. Art for Silent Auction goes up 4-21 and runs until 4-24. They will be up on the Second Floor of Mayer Commons here at the seminary. There will be a black binder which bid sheets on each art work which you can fill out. Winners will be notified on 4-30-08

All prints will start at $25 and half the proceeds will go to the Race Against Racism and the other half to the artist. If we reach $1,000 in donations to the RAR, rachel miller and Luke Lindon will shave their heads.

If we reach $1,500, Greg Carey will have to kiss a pig. that's right, a REAL, LIVE pig!

So donate lots and donate often and TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Here's a small preview of works to bid on!





HOW TO BID
Mayer Commons is open from 9 to 5 during the week. We will have a black binder with bid sheets up on the second floor with all the art pieces up for auction. Fill out the bid sheet for the selected item and you're done! Winners will be announced and contacted on 4-30-08. Best of luck!

Tents of Hope

We have been asked to help design the Tents of Hope! Yay! On 2-27 we'll have a Design Pow-Wow in the refectory at noon. The idea is to sketch on our design and have the seminary community to add the color. Just think of a paint by numbers only on a giant tent that's going over seas. Goal is to have it painted by April 1st for the commemoration on April 24th.

Here's the deal... we're a LOOSE confederation that is an egalitarian democracy. you're not obligated to do anything, but just politely asked if you're interested. I'm just an organizer... that's it. but i think this would be a good time to hang out and give the guild more of a community feel. and we're NOT affiliated with the seminary.

thanks!
