Banquet and Silent Auction

To Benefit American Blind Skiing Foundation
Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Piccadilly Ski Club, located in the western suburbs of Chicago, is hosting an annual Banquet and Silent Auction on Saturday, April 12th, 2008. Profits from the evening will be donated to the American Blind Skiing Foundation (ABSF), an all volunteer organization serving visually impaired children & adults, giving them experiences that build confidence & independence that can last a lifetime. www.absf.org.

The items to be bid on will include ones donated by corporations as well as generous homespun gifts from our own Piccadilly Ski Club members. Some members have already donated the following:  “Mystery Dinner” for up to 10 people. Our Piccadilly President, Duane Amlee, offers a 1.5 hour sightseeing flight around the Chicago area for 3 people, and Jim Elliott from ABSF is donating private scuba diving lessons complete with classroom instruction, all your gear and 2 days of open water dives! We’re already off to a great start, but we are still seeking donations for this event. If you have any ideas, please contact us.

Our Annual Banquet is a chance to reconnect with your old ski pals and meet new ones. This dressy event is an annual favorite of ours and will be held Saturday, April 12, 2008 at The Carlisle, 435 East Butterfield Road, Lombard, IL 60148. Tickets for this evening are $53 per person and include: a cocktail hour with butler style hors d’oeuvres, choice of chicken or beef dinner, 4 hours of open bar with premium liquor, dessert and dancing. If you would like to attend, please contact our Vice President, Dawn Roche, by February 15th,  to be added to the invitation list.
