[RVRC] New Providence auction changes

[Marvin Bronstein]

NPARC has had to make a last-minute change in their upcoming Auction for
Saturday, February 22.

 

Here is the explanation and note the change of location...

 

Dear NPARC members,

I was advised Friday of a conflict with our Auction planned for Saturday,
February 22nd at New Providence High School.  Specifically:

"Our School athletic department has scheduled an event on the same day.
Being that High School events take priority . we will have to adjust your
usage.

.. it will not be possible for both events to run at the same time. The High
School event is a major fundraiser that our Students run and will include up
to 800 people.   With our Student athletes schedule's being so stringent we
could not possibly hold our event any other day."

The high school  administrator worked through and suggested some options to
me.  (I very much appreciate her diligence and helpfulness.)  We held an
emergency Executive Board Meeting last evening to discuss the alternatives
and select the best option. 

Since there is much publicity distributed already, we picked what I call the
"same time, same day solution" to try and minimize impact on attendees and
our own members schedules.  That solution is to move the auction to the Salt
Brook School cafeteria at 40 Maple Street, keeping the same February 22 date
and 1:30 PM start time (with set up starting at noon).  This is the room we
used to have our club meetings in.  I believe we will be able to conduct our
auction just fine there.

This new location is approved by the school and we are proceeding with
publicity, including the following:
